Looking for a fun way to learn #JuliaLang? Consider contributing to Plots! https://t.co/5aOlS8KcPj

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@eliascarvdev @Viral_B_Shah It is amazing! Fyi it’s also a backend for Plots, so you don’t have to lose the ecosystem

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@gdb Idk. Isn’t it worse with software? You build something and it dies a slow painful death by gradual irrelevance

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@heyjoshday I made https://t.co/5ZHlniLwEq, sorta as a joke, and never used it once 😬

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

I dunno. This analysis is great but it just *feels* wrong. NYT probably bought his Twitter account

[Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally]

This whole "the NYT ruined Wordle!" thing is a great case study in confirmation bias. It also gives us some insight into human nature that helps explain how conspiracy theories work.

JuliaCons are fun because they bring together a bunch of super smart people working on very diverse and interesting cutting edge problems. 10/10 would recommend

There is nothing intuitive about probability theory. And it's perfectly ordinary not to understand it. The kids are okay. But yeah it'd be great if secondary school education were less focused on rhombuses and more on the product rule.

I love @JuliaLanguage (*plotted with Plots.jl) #JuliaLang #programming #WomenInScience #WomeninScienceDay #WomenInSTEM #womenintech

@ArturSepp A special-purpose DSL is quite different than a general-purpose programming language. It’s like saying that no one should waste time writing Python packages because we already have Python

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@daniela_witten I would have gone with “aren’t American”

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@OfficialLoganK @JuliaLanguage I built a protobuf transpiler https://t.co/yTFP7K3ZgG

@pmddomingos He’d probably sabotage all my efforts so he could be the one true me.

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

This is a toddler-level I-didn’t-eat-that-cookie-ignore-the-crumbs performance 🤦‍♂️

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@holylorenzo Excellent… looks great! It’s always nice to learn about people building from my work.

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@engineering_bae If you’re using python, good news! You’ll get to spend 90% of your future dev time setting up your development environment 🎉

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@profgalloway There’s a glitch in the matrix

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@mark_riedl You didn’t even TRY to game the objective function? Clear reject.

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@yourlocalbugboy I call BS. There’s no way you do that much statistics work.

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@SebastianDeri I prefer to use pytorch for that.

[Tom Breloff @TomBreloff]

@Jeffrey_Baird Yes but… are you SURE you don’t want this more-junior position for a quarter of the pay?!
