catch keyboard interrupts during Python execution

4

Currently, keyboard interrupts are deferred during execution of Python code, since CPython is not interrupt-safe. It would be nice to catch these interrupts and set a `KeyboardInterrupt` Python exception so...

Your code uses `x .-= y`, so you should know that in Julia 0.5 this has changed meaning to be equivalent to `broadcast!(identity, x, x .- y)`, so that it...

fft benchmark problems

You wrote:  However, for such a small transform, you're seeing a lot of overhead in `fft(a)` from setting up the FFT plan, setting up the trig tables, etcetera. To...

add hascodepoint(c::AbstractChar) and use it

16

This PR adds and exports a new function `hascodepoint(c::AbstractChar)` which returns whether or not `codepoint(c)` will succeed. It then uses this function before several calls to `codepoint(c)` or `UInt32(c)` instead...

Meta.parse(repr(Char(0x110000))) fails

3

`Meta.parse(repr(Char(0x110000)))` fails because ```jl julia> show(Char(0x110000)) '\U110000' ``` but `'\U110000'` is not parseable: ```jl julia> '\U110000' ERROR: ParseError: # Error @ REPL[17]:1:2 '\U110000' #└──────┘ ── invalid unicode escape sequence ```...

superseded by HCubature.jl?

21

https://github.com/stevengj/HCubature.jl implements the Genz-Malik algorithm in pure Julia for arbitrary dimensionalities.

sometimes returns bogus duplicate roots

2

As noted [on discourse](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/in-numerical-computation-how-could-increasing-the-number-of-bits-of-precision-decrease-accuracy/91600/5?u=stevengj), the `roots` function seems to return bogus roots, which are all nearly identical, for some polynomials. It happens pretty often for me if you just randomly...

only use tkagg or agg backends?

1

Nowadays the Tk backend works pretty well and is available everywhere. Maybe we should just use it (or the Agg backend for non-interactive code) and drop support for all of...

I notice that you are still using `findn`, which was deprecated in Julia 0.7 and removed in Julia 1.0 (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/25532) here: https://github.com/seung-lab/RealNeuralNetworks.jl/blob/3d66e68897fe52b1526d1983fd1252cd4563f6be/src/NodeNets.jl#L670 https://github.com/seung-lab/RealNeuralNetworks.jl/blob/3d66e68897fe52b1526d1983fd1252cd4563f6be/src/NodeNets.jl#L725 You probably want to replace this with...

Would be nice to add `Base.writemime` methods (see the new [multimedia I/O](http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/stdlib/base/#multimedia-i-o) mechanism) to export standard image types (e.g. `image/png`), not to mention `application/dicom`.
