I'm an experienced Julia developer with a enthusiasm for solving performance and optimization challenges.

I can help if you're looking for Julia expertise to help with any of the following:

  - Investigating long compilation or start-up times
  - Profiling and identifying performance bottlenecks
  - Low-level performance optimization for your simulation code
  - Assessing different parallelization or threading strategies
  - Increasing testing coverage to help with maintainability and robustness
  - Cleaning up prototype code to prepare for production or publishing as a package
  - Contribute to a dependency upstream to ease a pain point in your use case
I might also be able to help if you are:

  - Rewriting or redesigning from R/MATLAB to Julia/Python/Rust.
  - Having performance problems with your Python, Rust, MATLAB, or C code.
  - Want to investigate if leveraging GPU compute (CUDA) could be useful for your computations.
I've worked across a wide range of the Julia ecosystem, from high-level tasks such as extracting data from non-compliant csv, and writing custom Plots.jl recipes, to low-level work such as extending the mul! matrix multiplication interface with LAPACK, and investigating type-instabilities and inference problems using SnoopCompile and Cthulhu.

Think I might be able to help? Shoot me an email and let's find out.

Yay, nice! finally a simple cli for treesitter.

treesitter tech always seemed cool, but never felt I had access to it on my finger tips. one such tool is https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic (semantic diff)

will definitely be trying this out.


Thanks! tree-sitter is highly useful but hard to use directly. I hope this tool can help tree-sitter be more used!


Yeah, Pluto rules!

After getting used to it with Julia I found it really jarring to go back to plain Jupyter (when I need python) where I have to keep re-executing the cells.

This is going to make that much less painful.


Yeah that made me wow too!

He's gonna have a wild career.


Yeah website is down. He never mentioned a trackpoint unfortunately.

But I guess theoretically someone could design one (╯°□°)╯ ┻┻ they are releasing hardware and software interface docs on github.


salvaging old laptop battery as a power bank made me actually lol in real life.


It makes total sense! A half worn out battery may no longer be useful to you inside of your laptop, but can still be useful as an external power bank.



Wow RPI-based QMK-enabled input modules. That is something else.


QMK sounds like the keyboard thing. What things can you do with an arm chip sending input to a laptop? Imagination failure here.


Programmable per-key remapping, layered modifiers that you can toggle per app or workflow (ie. quick language layout swaps, temporary low-level remaps for games that don't support remapping, Blender/Photoshop/editor-specific remaps for personal ergonomics, etc.). Tap-hold functions to send different keycodes or modifiers when you tap vs. hold down a key, often used for home-row mods that move modifier keys into the home row when you hold, say, an HJKL key.


Just curious why they chose RPi instead of cheaper AVR. Maybe because it's more hackable thanks to overkill resources.


I'm saddened to inform you that no scientific research being done these days holds up to these standards.


It's starting to be done in some cases. Look up registered reports.


I'd add that even without registered reports (which are necessary), meta-analyses attempt to cut back on some of the selection bias by scouring the entire literature instead of cherry picking the results that get the most likes on social media.


Actually just today I asked if for the density of silicon nitrite and to cite a source. It cave a citation that seemed correct (reference book on materials) but with completely made up authors.


Yup, works well enough in ST4
