In this post I describe how I use Julia to automatically synchronize my Capture One raw photo catalog to my iCloud via Apple Photos, so that I can view and share the jpegs from my iPhone at any time with the same interface as my iPhone photos. The official AppleScript interfaces are not powerful enough to do what I need. My solution is accessing the SQLite databases of Capture One and Apple Photos directly and doing some simple data wrangling which Julia is perfectly suited for.

In this blog post, I’ll show how I used Julia and a GPT-3 model (via an online API) in an attempt to analyze the monetary value of items in the Harry Potter novels, and what I learned in the process.

When you start using Julia, you will quickly come in contact with Pkg.jl, its package manager. It’s reasonably easy to install a few packages and start using Julia. But from reading questions on Slack and Discourse, many users only start understanding relatively late what commands like instantiate are doing. This post should teach you how you can step beyond a messy global environment and towards neatly packaged local versions that allow you to collaborate more effectively and make your results reproducible.
