[Beowulf] [External] Re: Julia on POWER9?

[Prentice Bisbal]

Ugh. Another login name and password to remember, and another site to 
check. What's wrong with good old-fashioned mailing lists?

Slack, Discourse, Github... I just don't understand what makes them 
superior to mailing lists. I get using GitHub for bug-tracking, but I 
see people using it more and more as a discussion forum.
