yeah, i feel like they messed up the api. easy integration into ratpack[1] non-blocking system. Propagation of the async-functionality through various classes without hardcoding an custom library-solution. [1] https://ratpack.io

does anybody know some http client libraries that have scalable, performant asynchronous support (including transparent handling of various issues, like too many requests pending etc.). A big plus would be if it would implement the Completa

Of course, getting a fast JIT-Compiler for Python would be awesome! I have been doing some python lately and it's a nice language. I would guess there is such a broad usage in the industry that a committee funded by various companies c

thank you. What's the status of truffle? I often hear news from the project, but i never read anything about the scope of the project. Is is highly experimental? Are people using it in production? Is it intended to be used in productio

It's hard for me to believe that it's easier (and not only more comfortable for the engineers) to start pyston rather then rewrite their backend in go or whatever. Is dropbox really so big (not in sales, in the size of their backe

i edited my original comment because it didn't come out right. I already read the article before, but for me the solution would be an dynamic system that only serves whats possible. For simple static sites this should be not too compli

i think it seemed more provocative than it was meant to be ;) But i don't agree :) I like things that look nice, not fancy, over the top animated. But a good picture paired with a nice font, maybe combined with a tasteful color scheme

it wasn't meant to be presumptuous. I have an older smartphone that's limited to 3g (and way to often Edge). What i wanted to say: instead of manually selecting and limiting yourself we should invest in simple, transparent tools t

i don't understand this holy crusade against bloat. Yes, many if not most of websites i visit are bloated, but i think reasonable steps are the right answer (like an automatic, idiot-proof system that serves 4k pictures to 4k-displays

i don't like centralising development on github, but i welcome the competition for more user-friendly systems. I think the pressure is increasing for other service to provide an equal experience both for exploring an contributing to a

i was also told that Markov-chains are not used for NN anymore, but i learn them because often they get combined with NNs and used for other aspects of the problem (if i remember right AlphaGo used them beside NNs). the blog article was use

ah ok. I am also starting with ML, so take this with a grain of salt. While the courses i listed are required for most CS majors, i think they are more important for ML than many other fields of CS (of course there are exceptions). I think

I remember reading a proposed acquisition of T-Mobile US by Sprint. At least looking at the speed-data, revenue and profit T-Mobile looks to be better positioned than Sprint, so why should the Deutsche Telekom sell it's subsidiary?

i am a bit confused. What do you mean with "school"? If you really want to become an "ML/AI master" this is more complicated then you seem to think. If you mean university it will take some time (and rightly so) unt

to be fair, wayland improves upon X in many other areas other than performance and while this might be true for the machine/workloads i did not notice any slowdown running it in a vm (i also don't use that much ram, while an edito

Since diogomonicapt didn't answer i'll try to give an ELI5 answer ;) Docker-containers have many advantages, but one of the big drawbacks until now was that it was really hard to pass secrets into them. Imagine you are a simple, s

Easy, personal access to cloud computing. I have a macbook and am pretty satisfied with it. But a problem is, that in order to learn data-science/deep learning i need a beefy GPU/CPU and everything else. I could buy a desktop, but

i run a lot of small projects with docker-compose on a single host and it makes deploying my changes very easy. Maybe there is a low cost setting it up, but i think eve with a small project it pays it divides pretty fast.

why does the squash flag squash everything? Wouldn't it possible to only squash the layers introduces in the localhost build? The you could share the other layers again.

i think he is exaggerating a bit. Many languages have a model where most of the functionality lies in packages and not in the standard library. And it's working. You just have to get used to it and try to develop a taste in choosing th

i agree, but i don't think google is 100% to blame. The web-designers etc. have failed to provide fast, mobile optimised pages that perform the same optimisation that google now produces. Google is just taking advantage of the neglect

too bad GTA V is not open-source for researchers. I don't know how customisable it is, but e.g. experiencing snow/ice or a failure like spontaneous pressure loss in one of the tires would be interesting to simulate.

Disclaimer: Interested in NN, but no real knowledge yet. A ML-learning group at my university recently discussed Learning to learn by gradient descent by gradient descent [1], the topic seems related. This indicates to me that at least some

i don't know much about image libraries, but this is kinda the point. This is just a blog post that announces the replacement of a c-implementation with a rust one and i don't know why. There might be a good reason, but not in thi

we are chasing more after trends than the fashion industry. The post contains no more info than that the image library is now pure rust. I want to like rust and understand that there are benefits to it, but why is this on the frontpage? Wha

But just because a minority does it, doesn't make it right (correct english?). I don't share his definition of freedom applied to software, simple as that. I also don't think most of the society shares his values, i often get

i don't even believe a free-software world is desirable without a new way to structure our society. I don't know if i want that. I am also very critical of RMS and his "propaganda"-style of writing. But this doesn't
