I'm a PhD student in Urban and Regional #Planning at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I'm especially interested in regional revitalization in #Japan, #Korea, and elsewhere in East and Southeast Asia.
Also a big fan of #JuliaLang and its applications for social science. In a parallel life I build #AgentBasedModels
I wish I had a similar environment to learn #python or #julialang in.
For those who are unfamiliar, Rustlings is an interactive learn-by-fixing program you run in your terminal. It correlates directly with Rust's official guide (The Book). They even link together and to the docs. So cool!
「 With the introduction of Julia 1.9, native code caching is now available, resulting in a significant improvement in TTFX latency and paving the way for future enhancements across the ecosystem. Package authors can now utilize precompile statements or workloads with PrecompileTools to cache important routines in advance. Users can also create custom local "Startup" packages that load dependencies and precompile workloads tailored to their daily work」
Absolutely 0 scientific use of it, but I still find it extremely pleasant to see:
a silly N body system of self-gravitating masses, solved with a dumb N^2 gravity solver. #Julialang
#Jill (https://github.com/abelsiqueira/jill) is a tool for installing and updating #JuliaLang that I created in 2017. Originally it was made to download the latest Julia and link it in my /usr/local/bin. Now, it allows installing any Julia version, including release candidates (-rc versions). One simple usage would be:
Although #Jill is not officially adopted, it still has many users (me included), so I happily dedicate some time to maintain it. Our latest improvement was creating an automated workflow to check for new Julia versions, which is why the current Jill version can already install Julia 1.9.0.
Episode 3 of @JuliaLanguage Journey is out. It is a short video about Julia types. Beginners will find it informative and intermediate users might like just to see how the type tree below is made.
I'm Leif ("life") and I do research into clouds an their effect on Earth's weather and climate using fluid dynamics simulations and machine learning.
I'm particularly interested in making better predictions about our planet's future weather and climate. Love all things science, technology and jazzy 🎶 🎵 🌍 🌎 🌏 🛰️ 💻
