malmaud··on Why Julia
As the name suggests, that lets you write functions in a single-dispatch manner. That is different from multiple-dispatch.
malmaud··on Introducing plotly.py 3.0.0
Ah ya, I realized afterwards from more Googling that this is a global problem in the jupyterlab extension ecosystem when using node 10. Since it's already been worked on in other issues, I deleted my comment.

Oh, that's a great improvement in and of itself then. Thanks!
malmaud··on Introducing plotly.py 3.0.0
Hi Jon, Thanks for the great release! Your post mentions support for JupyterLab, but getting Plotly working in JupyterLab is not working smoothly at the moment (see https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-renderers/issues/132). Is this something you guys are looking into?
malmaud··on Magic Leap employee alleges bizarre, blatant misogyny in discrimination lawsuit
“In IT we have a saying; stay away from the Three Os: Orientals, Old People, and Ovaries,” he allegedly replied.
malmaud··on NNSA, Nvidia to create an open-source Fortran compiler front-end for LLVM
Do you have an example of Julia not being fast enough?
malmaud··on Judge tosses Wikimedia’s anti-NSA lawsuit because Wikipedia isn’t big enough
Can we get the headline changed? It is not at all accurate - the size of Wikipedia was a largely insignificant point in the judge's reason, as the article clearly states.

Maybe we should stop with the conspiracy theories about corrupt judges for a second and actually consider the legal situation. The judge's job is to rule based on the law, not to use his own judgment or fight for his idea of social justice.

For good reasons, you could only pursue a lawsuit against someone if you have real evidence of wrongdoing - not intuition or "common sense" or anything else. How would you feel if the RIAA could launch lawsuits against any teenager with a fast internet connection, based on a statistical argument and 'common sense' that most teens steal music?

malmaud··on Nim for scientific computing: Back to the future
You're right that you can't compile Julia to static libraries (yet). Calling Julia from Python is not very mature at the moment, but calling Python from Julia is actually pretty robust via PyCall.jl (https://github.com/stevengj/PyCall.jl).

Have you looked at Julia (http://julialang.org/)?
