Oh, it's not just a performance optimization. But you've said it yourself: "a new python interpreter and compiler". A lot of Python code out there lives with assumptions of CPython interpreter built into it. Pretty sure…
After working as a programmer for about a decade, I went back to college to try to complete my education. This was when I first encountered code printed in a textbook. And it was just black monospace font on white…
It will just take longer. People inhabiting the Russian empire weren't all that bad. But there were multiple stages of descent into the atrocious society I remember from the late 90s. It also didn't go in a straight…
Yeah. In general, I feel like programming is missing a glossary. Having this much freedom has its perks, but being unable to agree on basic terminology used in the industry seems like a price too steep to pay for the…
I was thinking about addressing the issues mentioned (multiple times before, but most recently) a couple days ago by a Facebook employee who was scared of releasing code that nobody understands. I see two possible ways…
> The Linux kernel—one of the most well-tested pieces of software today, I feel like these people aren't really experts in the field of testing... Linux is not known for its testing... there's plenty of good things one…
There's, unfortunately, another meaning for "validation" that's used in the adjacent context. All those form fields are validated, the tool that validates them is called, unsurprisingly, "validator"... To generalize…
It really depends on the place... When I was a student, I lived in the dorms. Three colleges shared the compound: there was an art students' building, the printing academy's building and the sports college building. We…

I'm sorry to say that you misunderstood the question. There's a huge, insurmountable void between "I don't understand all the code" and "nobody understands all the code", but you seem to think they are the same thing.…
Not going to work. 1. The reason OOP complained about AI code being shipped without comprehension is because they want to ship of it more and faster. If they had time, they'd review the code. Writing tests requires a…

I only have a second-hand experience with PhDs looking for jobs. It seems very similar to programming jobs market: it's saturated with worthless applications and the filtering on the receiving end is completely broken.…

You pretend not to understand what "packaging" means. No, it's not just the format description, even though the format description incorporates useless fields that are designed specifically to help setuptools to…
Nobody cares about PEP-517 or any PEP for that matter since PyPA decided they are above it. PyPA decides how things are done, PEPs are just "historical documents". Nobody cares if package metadata is standardized. The…
You pretty much opened with a... I'm sorry for a strong word, but it is what it is... a lie. No. Python packaging isn't standardized. Tools aren't interchangeable. And they are all bad, uv including. I wish it didn't…
My understanding is that FPGAs are targeted not because they are ideal for the task, but because they are commercially available. As in: the customers may rent a VM from a major cloud vendor with FPGAs attached. Trying…
Was my question too. Now, I have not tested the technology, so, I can't vouch for the veracity of the claim, but the answer I was given made sense. This is what it was: in the same way how a dedicated switch is a lot…
I recently interviewed for a company (for the purpose of not making this an advertisement, I will not name it) that uses FPGAs to speed up SQL queries. They claimed at least two orders of magnitude speedups for joins!…
How can I do that? What's missing for me here is how the data-centers can be connected to generating comments on social media. They are simply not good for doing that. For example, the IP ranges of data-centers are well…
Data-centers? From what I've seen so far, it's typically racks staffed with phones. Not something you would normally find in a data-center. You could, of course, repurpose a data-center to run a bunch of emulators and…
This is a... mischaracterization. The reason why Ukraine, Russia and Iran are targeting data-centers is because they are easy targets with a lot of expensive equipment, but they don't really impact the military…
The highest, by far, death numbers come from Mariupol. It's a city close to the Russian border that was attacked very early in the war, but didn't surrender quickly like most other cities in the South. The estimates are…
This is a bit exaggerated... It's not really painful. I worked in a newspaper. The whole designers department moved to PCs when OS10 (a.k.a. OSX) came out. This also coincided with moving from QuarkXPress to InDesign.…
