Simpler answer that doesn’t require weird psychoanalysis: bro is used because of the perception (possibly reality?) of the ratio of men to women in tech.
I use pods because, of the options available at my grocery store, the only ones available that I know won't etch glass are sold as pods.
If your boss sucks you can't fire them, but if the union sucks you CAN vote out the officers.
Stopping celebration of a thing is not the same thing as erasing it.
You can use numba to define functions that do not need to hold the GIL to run.
If you use numba (or cython, c extensions, etc) you can make them run without requiring that they hold the GIL, and they can run in parallel. Here's an example that should keep a CPU pegged at 100% utilization for a…
Why should me playing a game be more restricted than me watching someone else (and anything else their commentary/antics might entail) play the very same game on twitch?
You can just do 'pip install the-package' in python if you aren't using a virtual environment. Ruby does have the equivalent of virtual environments, using RVM or rbenv (similar but different tools), to solve the same…
Natively parallel? From https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/multi-threading/ : "Julia is not yet fully thread-safe. In particular segfaults seem to occur during I/O operations and task switching." One solution for…
Some thinkpads have them.
Exploiting people is exploiting people, no matter how you spin it.
Using the 'cuda.jit' method as linked does require you to do things like manually setting threads and blocks, though one could argue it makes it easier than doing it in CUDA C. However numba's 'vectorize' and…
