@bthalpin Glad you’re enjoying it! And yeah, that’s a fair point.

@bthalpin I found this example to be very interesting and wanted to see if I could golf it down a little with Distances.jl - I think it came out quite clean.

@bthalpin I love this. It is a long-term goal to translate all the models from the book into Julia (and other languages, but Julia is top priority). As you surmised, I chose NetLogo for practical reasons, but I think that serious modelers should be competent in more general languages.

I've been looking at @psmaldino's book on social simulation press.princeton.edu/books/pape for a potential new course.

I like it a lot but it uses NetLogo. I'd prefer to use Julia, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon translating his first example.

Result: likely quite straightforward to teach from this book using Julia. Blog summary:

fuck-customers The next person who tries to correct me when I say "Happy Holidays" is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, "No, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS." I'm pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar's boycotting butt, Karen. batzendrick My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the "War on Christmas" bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it: "Merry Christmas." "Happy holidays." "No. I said Merry Christmas." "Do you know what Hanukkah is about?" "No, what?" "Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up and killed them. Happy Hanukkah."
