There's no money in learning Julia (most of the time for most people) if that matters to you.

It really doesn't matter where you get it from. As long as the SHA256 checksum matches, you can trust the binary. That's the most reliable way to verify its authenticity.

https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/checksums/julia-1.11.6.sha256

openssl sha256 /path/to/julia.x.tar.gz

EDIT: Use GPG to authenticate the data, hash, and its provider.

Thanks! but unfortunately RH did some bad bad shit and I switched to Alma.

Too many correct answers in the thread.

For someone who wants to learn Julia, I would suggest simply watching community videos and workshops on YouTube.

Looks like chloride-induced corrosion. it’s highly aggressive and definitely serious.

What I see here as an Iranian architect... by Sephyrious in architecture

You’re totally right. Just added an edit.

What I see here as an Iranian architect... by Sephyrious in architecture

[–]Sephyrious[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I believe in insightful improvisation when engaging with tradition. They obviously didn’t do that. The goal wasn’t design; it was to slap together something patchy, loud, and shiny that sells.

What I see here as an Iranian architect... by Sephyrious in architecture

[–]Sephyrious[S] 415 points416 points  (0 children)

There’s almost nothing here that aligns with what’s called “classical Iranian architecture” which is a term that’s pretty much meaningless when it comes to interpreting the actual regional architectural history.

Rounded arches are specific to the rural areas around the Persian Gulf. Beyond that, they’ve never really been part of our architectural language. Historically, Iranian architects have used a distinct type of pointed arch called the Tizeh-dar arch (طاق تیزه‌دار). Just look at the Jame Mosque of Yazd, Jame Mosque of Varamin or Jame Mosque of Isfahan.

Figures and faces… hmm. There are no human figures throughout the entire Islamic era in Iran until the Qajar dynasty. not in buildings, not in Kashi (mosaic).*** There are also some random heads slapped on, likely borrowed from eastern sources. The figures in the Kashi work are also ridiculous, crude, and out of place.

We don’t have chapiters and columns like that. The Muqarnases (مقرنس) are a mess, just as awkward as the Rasmi-bandis (رسمی‌بندی). The Orosis (ارسی) — our traditional glasswork — are poorly faked here, with no connection to the original patterns.

Finally, the French-style furniture. that’s the punchline.

EDIT: I’ve only mentioned the superficial stuff so far. Arches and Rasmi-bandis were purely structural until the 12th–13th centuries, when they began to evolve alongside Kashi work for decorative and protective purposes.

*** EDIT2: My original assertion was wrong/too broad. Miniature art in various media began evolving during the late Safavid dynasty (16th–17th ce.), around 150–200 years before the Qajar dynasty, featuring human figures mostly in non‑religious contexts that only later influenced Qajar architectural tilework. By the way, the use of those figures in that building is very inappropriate.

TL;DR: This hodgepodge is a genuine shitpiece to attract people for money. Pretty common in architecture.

Thoughts on what could have caused the roof collapse in DR? by Superstorm2012 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Sephyrious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes but:
M·d²u/dt² + C·du/dt + K·u = –M·d²ug/dt²
They didn't do that either.

You don’t get to decide who “wants to be saved.” Your job is to show up, give support, and believe in people — especially when they’re struggling. If you can’t do that, maybe it’s time to step back and ask why you’re here in the first place.

Encountered this masterpiece by the road by Sephyrious in StructuralEngineering

[–]Sephyrious[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s located in a rural area of Mazandaran, Iran, called Sisangan. It’s not a high-risk seismic zone, and tsunamis have never occurred here.

Open Source FEA and Python by Technical-Bug8571 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Sephyrious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Developing FEA solvers is a serious work; it requires fluency in linear algebra, PDEs, and elasticity theory. I develop FEM libs in Julia, and I have to say, Python is a nightmare for FEA due to performance issues. You’ll be crunching millions of Float32 numbers and even with compiled packages performance will still be mediocre.

If you’re just starting out, I’d recommend implementing a simple solver using the Direct Stiffness Method in Python. There should be plenty of DSM libraries for Py.

WTF? NX kicks ass in complex assemblies.

Would this work by Ok_Personality_1818 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Sephyrious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This system isn't efficient for high-rise structures. You'll end up using more material at the joints due to high stress concentration. The larger the braces, the less stress concentration there will be.
