Can you elaborate on what you find disturbing? The implication of high failure rate, or the shift of focus to reliability?
Why is doing one thing a qualification for a good piece of software? I could see that some users may prefer this model of tools, but I use plenty of good software that provides a more complete solution than just doing…
And then skip ahead and read chapter 10: git internals. This was really helpful for me to understand the fundamental concepts of git and why it is designed the way it is.
This has no been the case historically, I'm not sure why it would be now. Why would ms invest in languages like vb.net and f# if so? Choice of languages that target the CLR has always been a selling point even though c#…
I don't think the fps calculation is quite accurate, I was getting close to 60 fps and seeing lots of jerks.
$100 more for 2x RAM and storage, that doesn't seem like a "ridiculous premium". Unless you mean ridiculous in some other way than the actual dollar amount.
The point was probably that this is not scientific. Whatever model you come up with won't really have any predictive power. See arguments against pseudo-science, e.g. Freud and Marxist theories.
"Writing cached data back to persistent storage is bad", what is the "right" way to write data? I'm not terribly familiar with distributed systems, just curious. Is this referring to write-back vs. write-through?
Top result in Bing/Google is a pdf. Not sure if it's a pre-print edition, looks like a PhD thesis.
I was wondering how this relates to Datomic... I'm not really familiar enough to say much about similarities and differences, but would be interested if someone who is could comment.
I find it somewhat funny that the term "machine intelligence" seems like it was coined in part to distinguish it from "machine learning", but, while this project is clearly part of the latter, they have chosen a moniker…
I don't think it would require a quantum leap forward in tech to take traffic into account...
I wonder if this is actually true at all? I mean, yes, everyone around here absolutely abhors software like this, but there is a class of people who love hunting for bargains and accumulating coupons etc. Is there…
And in particular prismjs lets you select lines of code without selecting the line numbers, which you probably do not want.
This also applies to comments within the presentation, not just the verbal part of the presentation.
Very cool! (As a side note, do people actually use the phrase "there has to be a better way!" unsarcastically?)
Isn't this essentially the model for wearables already? Except with the opposite relationship: the phone is the smart device and the watch is relatively "dumb". This makes sense since it is easier for my phone to be…
I'm not sure this blog post could have been any less dramatic. He could have not written it I suppose, but he brings up valid points that are probably useful for everyone who might be using or interested in Nim. I don't…
Yeah this article really says nothing interesting about the languages. The BASIC timings are from 48K Atari 800 system and the Python timing are from some unknown modern system. Not sure what the point is...
Can you suggest any good reads which incorporate the history & motivation of linear algebra? I have had some experience with the common text books, but never put much effort into incorporating it into the way I think,…
The problem I have with this type of lesson, and similarly kata, is that they are always implementing some rather trivial toy example so they they can fit the whole process into some digestible time span. This is…
> And here's the problem - some people just cannot be respectful of other people's time or flow and also you can find a lot of variation between communication styles (e.g. synchronous vs asynchronous) or noise tolerance…
