It’s been a while but isn’t GCD an OS global queue rather than local to the process?

They do and have made relatively small ones, e.g. promoting __future__ features to default, etc.

Google used the search monopoly to grow chrome into another monopoly, placing it on their front page, a place where absolutely no one else can ever get advertising.

I think the main competitor is gitlab and GitHub, it’s very hard to compete with them. It’s not competing with earthly OSS. Personally the reason we haven’t used earthly satellites or CI is because we can’t use them inside the corporate fir

It’s not because of data science, it’s popular for the same reason Java is popular, it’s what they teach in schools. It’s a virtuous cycle, industry adoption grows school adoption which grows industry adoption…

Python is also going to get a JIT eventually, so they’re fixing that too! One of the concerns with no gil was that it would make certain optimisations harder for the JIT, but it’s very cool to see both being worked on.

Python already has threads, they just have huge downsides in their current form, so this ship has long since sailed.

Forking had a ton of its own downsides, it’s not a free lunch either, from poor ergonomics to communications overhead it works well for somethings and very poorly for others.

There are a lot of performance sensitive codebases where something like this would destroy performance, it works well for shared nothing parallelism, but the moment you have shared state it kinda falls over.

Python is also getting a JIT, they’re pursuing performance on all axis.

by AlphaSite 3y ago
There is a JIT being built for Python, so performance is being attacked from 2 avenues, single threaded and multithreaded.

JWTS (and related token type approaches) are a solution to the whole: how do I avoid spending time doing authn on every request?

I think there’s a strong assumption in this pattern that can and should be handled immediately and that there is a recovery path from the failure, if there is no recovery path and you’re just propagating the error this pattern becomes an aw

Are you asking for what is roughly Python generator expressions but in a compiled language?
75.
by AlphaSite 3y ago
It’s not the only time, the way string slicing worked also broke a lot of performance grantees.

It will probably be something like: brew install python@3.12-mp apt install python3.12-mp Etc. I don’t think anyone actually needs to compile it themselves, unless they really want to.

They use Python as the basis for instagram, which is a large growing service.

Does the token identify every resource you have access to? I think is for multi tenant applications with fine grained access control.

Depends on the specific plastic you choose, some are more sensitive to UV than others and you can choose the one with the appropriate properties for your usecase. That said, I don’t imagine the switches them selves have much UV exposure as

I think from a threading perspective that’s a reasonable statement. But it’s also about creating manageable abstractions, very limited singleton usage ok, but it can easily get out of hand and lead to hard to reason about code.

Is single threaded perf is important, you’ve already lost by using python. You’re only ever going to get, ok-ish performance or slightly more ok-ish

Nogil would give far larger returns and I wish they’d focus on that. That’s the best way to a faster python.

Who’s the one offering them the debt in the first place? You’d think if it were so easy people would wise up to it and stop offering debt to PE owned firms.

How much if that is because of the tech bubble bursting? Tech and ESG are strongly correlated. I don’t think it helps grow a company, but equally I don’t think on a macro scale it actually hinders either. So if it’s a net 0 why not do good

Arguably it’s a structured vs unstructured data issue

I think once you have fiber to peoples homes, you don’t really need to dig it all up again for probably another 50 years. Replacing every copper cable with fiber in the country is a gargantuan effort.

The prior course involves implementing a code generating compiler with optimisation passes etc for a language.

I suspect there are some great solutions to power storage on the moon, eg why not store power in molten metals/substances? The lack of an atmosphere would help massively reduce thermal loss, and as you already have a refinery much of t
