I would not recommend Dask. We use it just for simple job scheduling (that is, none of its fancy data structures) and run into issues just getting the work done efficiently. This issue, for instance, keeps the cluster from actually being ut

Because the proportions change. OP used exadollars in his/her example to show that giving money equally to everyone evens things out.

I feel like all of the problems in the blogpost are solvable without moving everyone to this crazy web development environment. To quote one of the proponents: > I do solemnly swear that never again will my CPU have to compile ruby from

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but it's a little bit odd to me that a non-religious person would necessarily have an irrational fear of anything you mentioned. Where, in your world view, is there room for someone w

Apple/Google and friends have just as much power. Seeing where people are shopping is the same thing -- I bet they had evidence of the decline of malls before anyone else, for instance.

I think we all appreciate the links but unless I'm missing something, no, it doesn't help -- what's the plan to make money? That blog post doesn't mention anything along those lines at all.

Just want to pile-on to the other replies and say yes, absolutely. When you need them as glue they're a great option with basically no alternatives -- also means your lambda functions will be just a handful of lines of code, and then y

Except the same-damn-product ads also come up for things that make very little sense for re-purchase: artwork, DVDs, books, and so on.

This is a pretty maddening bug that I ran into: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/30215 To summarize, you basically can't use the built-in viewport scaling at all because it breaks mouse input.

Not to pile-on, but I've used envkey in the past and would definitely recommend it to anyone: https://www.envkey.com/

The readme has a link to the blog post describing MIR -- it's a great read and is probably where you actually want to go: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/01/20/mir-a-lightwei...

I still hate how I'll buy something that is clearly an expensive one time purchase from amazon (such as a lawnmower or an audio receiver) and the best its dumb algorithm can come up with is, "Hey, wanna buy another lawnmower?&quot

But how do I implement backpressure in zeromq? I've used it in production and it was great when it worked, but it was scary because its queue of messages could get arbitrarily large. I think I even saw an OoM when a service went down a

Whatever happened to psyco? I remember it pretty much just working without any hassle and actually providing a noticeable speedup. All the mindshare is now on PyPy -- it's received enormous amounts of engineering and still seems very r

There are a lot of gotchas with the new GC that make me nervous about this release: > As far as we know, ARC works with the complete standard library except for the current implementation of async... That's not a great endorsement..

Without the behavioral data you'll just plain miss out on correlations that simply can't be described by product metadata alone. Is this a big deal? It seems like that would be one of the big advantages of collaborative filtering.

There's very little in the way of media or other assets -- it's all just code.

It's basically federated SQL. Nothing to do with map/reduce, really.

When you say things like, "Veganism is unhealthy," the issue is that it simply leaves no room in the conversation for the other person. Even just a slight change ("I understand that veganism is unhealthy") will almost ce

I think syntax is the big whiff in regular expressions. I bet it would feel much more natural to represent them not as a string but as a tree (which they kind of are). Maybe with s-expressions? Would probably be more verbose but I imagine w

100% agreed -- it's crazy to me how much stuff you can just sweep under the rug when you have fast compilation, a decent debugger, static binaries, and so on. I always tell people, "I love everything about Go except for the langua

Do you know any other systems languages, like C or C++? This kind of thing makes a lot more sense when you have some surrounding context.
