Define successful. I think you two had an opposite meaning of what successful is.

To be a bit pedantic, I guess may be it is fairer to say python is the main glue language for scientific computing where DS and ML are part of. The “big bang” seems to have started from Numpy/Scipy and friends and cascading from there.

I concur, a few problems leading me to migrate from kitty to wezterm are related to tmux, color, and ssh.

Oh, wow. Glad I asked. I thought you mean port but while they are related it is something I’ve never heard of. Brew has transitioned into primarily bottled (pre-compiled binary). Compiling with the local march sounds great and it is quite d

My favorite feature is the ability to search collections (ie type collection name on the left and filter collections matching that). I installed the beta just for this (because I have too many nested collections after decades of building up

First, no sane mind will think one single example will be representative to anything. Second, if you want to focus on 3rd party or not, sure. But you could also think Numba jit vs C++ and in this case it puts them on a more equal footing to

by KolenCh 2y ago
Technically right, but the original code only optionally depends on Numba, and Numpy is ubiquitous in scientific Python. The problem I was trying to solve in all those boilerplates is basically that Numpy still has overhead and dropping it

I wonder why you stops there midway in a sentence and only after reading the other comments I get what you mean … What problems you are referring to exactly, and how would they be fixed as an implementation but not at the language level?

Regarding import cost, as it’s doing heavy IO traversing the file system, the cost heavily depends on how fast you can do IO in the hardware, and also the file system (and the OS). So a fast SSD will help, and somewhat surprisingly putting

This a not a unique problem to homebrew. Any pre-built binaries potentially shares this problem unless the build system the software use is intentionally written to avoid this problems. Any package managers that is designed to not hard code

You might say devbox gives nix a brew-like interface and ergonomic. More accurately, when you use a package manager, you use the “ecosystem” including the package index and pre-built binaries, and the cli. There aren’t many alternatives to

Try interacting with them and you’ll know. If you just use it, (and your OS isn’t too old) then you wouldn’t feel it. And also good luck if they make some changes that affect you. A better way to describe it might be contributor-hostile tha

Thanks. Interesting to know! The thing I worried most is not the kind of problems fixable by rolling back, but (potentially silent) data corruption. Do you know how exactly is OpenZFS on nixOS supported? For example, currently both the Arch

by KolenCh 2y ago
Right. I'd like to hear your experience with running OpenZFS on nixOS. E.g. how long have you tried it and your update cadence and robustness etc. I'm in my quest to find the "best supported" way to run ZFS on Linux and

by KolenCh 2y ago
Depends on what support means. If support means root on ZFS can be installed effortlessly, then yes. But if support means if things failed and you can get support to fix it, then no.

It is not about counting harmonics or not, but what should be counted "the same". We could have gone all formal here, musical theory and physics and all that. But I claimed that you can just tell by ears and use common sense. What

by KolenCh 2y ago
If you have an ear then a harmonics should not be counted as the same note. To a layman, they probably can’t tell the difference between the same note from a different string. But it will be very obvious to even a layman a harmonics has a d
