Working & Reading Habits:

Where do you find yourself at your most productive? Do you prefer to read papers and do writing / busywork in different locations?

Libraries? Coffee Shops? Campus? Town?

I'm interested in hearing how best you all work and learn!

I'm getting to read up on something for work that I've been wanting to read up on anyway 😚

@drbjork @mplouffe I dunno, I think that it's mostly that the free solutions currently don't have the market share or name recognition that DB has, so an argument for supporting those platforms fails to appeal to management. Getting the cost to implement support for them to $0 is a big step towards their adoption. Crawl and walk with "we support Dropbox + other things", then run with "we support Dropbox, Nextcloud, and Spideroak"

As the #PinePhone ($150 Linux smartphone) development is moving fast, a series of articles might be redundant and confusing for most people. This article, to be dynamically updated as development proceeds, gathers what is known at this stage, and will hopefully be an answer to some of your questions.

Trying a similar request again: can anyone recommend a good journal that covers environmental justice?

@noctiluca Yep, there's a very good PDF and ebook reading app that should work on it (I used it on my first generation iPad mini). I don't know the name of it at the moment, but I think it's "GoodReader."

+ There's Libby and Overdrive, Podcast apps, RSS reader apps

#include <ashwinvis>  

@bthall
Again correct me if I am wrong. Nothing is done during installation, the JIT cache is only created when you run it for the first time. I'm not sure if it would persist.
As I see it it is a technological problem and they might fix it eventually. I hate it when they have JIT compile everything, even Plots.jl.

@ashwinvis
By JIT compiling, do you mean that it would need to recompile the package each time that it's used or can you maybe use a cache after compiling it the first time (when installing it)?

@bthall
Julia doesn't have an equivalent pacaking format of Python wheels. So you would end up JIT compiling everything you install. And that can be annoying. This also means that distros won't be able to package Julia packages.

There is some talk about sysimage support, but is not position independent code, from what I read. Tbh, that is out of my league.
