    September Headline: Is Julia going to re-enter the top 20?

    Hello @Posit !

  2. Is Julia going to re-enter the top 20? 🔴🟢🟣

    :julia:

    "MATLAB, Julia, Python, and R all have strong roots in numerical computing...both Python and R have taken a significant share of MATLAB’s market, but Julia has certainly claimed part of that pie as well."

  3. @publicvoit

    on a laptop & android tablet, although there is no guarantee we will be able to run #emacs on #android this time next year

    i don't sync the feeds, laptop is more focused on #rubylang #julialang & the more techy aspects of #emacs

    the android feed is more general science/emacs news/ sports / slashdot

    the laptop is used in the evening @ home while the tablet, which doubles as a phone & runs my #orgmode #agenda goes with me during the day.

  4. Building a simple medical image segmentation tool in .

    So far the method only creates raw contours. Next I need to add contour cutting, merging, spline based smoothing, growing/shrinking, manual drawing, etc. and before you know it we have a high performance and tool for medical image segmentation!

  5. I wrote a long post explaining how I do format my figures for publications, posters and so on., on how to ensure everything looks nice on the paper (or the screen). With tips both for #matplotlib and #makie! Most probably I will have to polish the writing a bit, but here it is, enjoy! victorseven.github.io/2024/09/ #dataviz #julialang #python

  6. Working on code for surface curvature analysis.

    This video shows the surface principal curvatures, i.e. the highest (left) and lowest (right) curvature. Directions of curvature are overlaid too.

    I like this "mother-child" model as it has flat bits (base), different cylinder-like bits (arms/body), sphere-like bits (heads), and saddle-like bits (e.g. necks). So it is a nice model for curvature analysis.

  7. Added "linear lofting" to create meshes spanning from one curve (blue/bottom) to the next (red/top). This can be done for instance with quads (left), triangles that are "slashed" quads (middle), or isosceles/equilateral triangles (right).

  8. Mesh smoothing is useful for obtaining high-quality mesh representations. However each smoothing technique has its own pros/cons. Here Laplacian and HC-smoothing are compared. Laplacian smoothing (each points moves to average of neighbours) can be too aggressive and lead to local inflation/shrinkage, HC-smoothing aims to avoid excessive shape changes (pushes back to original a bit) and may converge on a stable shape.

  9. STL files give each triangle their own coordinates set. So none of the triangles actually share nodes. So step one, after importing such a mesh, is to merge the nodes. This animation shows vertex normal based "inflation", the left is unmerged, the right is merged.

  10. I am a bit late for day 1 of #30daymapchallenge but I did a map of all official parking places according to the city of Jena. This was done in #julialang with #Makie 1/2

  11. Read about the latest news from the Makie universe:
    Our v0.19.5 release, developments within the community, and key takeaways from #MakieCon23,
    E.g. how to visualize 2.7 billion points interactively⚡🚀
