This is precisely while I'm on instagram: There's no pretense of anything being private. It's like the best parts of Facebook (cool pictures/info from people who interest me) without the bullshit (TDS-fueled ramblings).

I'm using compiled libraries for all my heavy lifting—the Python code is there to glue those libraries together in convenient manner that allows for exploratory programming. GIL-free CPython would let me distribute computations across

You don't trust Zuckerberg to keep your private messages private? Even if that somehow happens, he'll be selling your messaging network info to everyone with two nickels to rub together. No thanks. Delete Messenger/WhatsApp

Python without GIL to provide real shared-memory threading would address 90% of my issues with the language.

Apple wanted a file system that would run on everything from smart watches to multi-core desktops. Because, you know, those use cases are identical.

I was sold a set of counterfeit Powerbeats3 headphones at Best Buy about a year ago. No reason to be suspicious initially, but battery life, range, and pairing were never great. They stopped working after a month, and I brought them back to

The Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10 seems to be eroding the need to install Linux separately. It's missing a few things like GPU access, and file I/O is leisurely, but it's already a super useful tool.

I'm pushing WSL fairly hard doing OpenMP development. I/O is slow, but it's totally credible for numerics.

> I wonder if it's becoming a trend (to move from macOS to Linux)? Anecdotally among my peer group, yes, with Windows 10 becoming a viable option due to Windows Subsystem for Linux. I hear lots of grumbling about Apple having turned

It's funny how Windows 10 is rapidly becoming a better Unix than MacOS since everything that matters runs Linux.

Your Windows drives appear under /mnt/c, /mnt/d, etc. in WSL. So your Windows home directory is /mnt/c/Users/ffoobar. You can easily read/write Windows files from Linux, but I don't think yo

It's a non-starter for CUDA development, which is important to anyone doing serious GPU programming.

As an American who recently did some driving around the UK: things are different there! The level of attention needed to drive safely in the UK is off the charts compared to the US with all the twisty, narrow roads, one-lane bridges, and li

Best I can tell, Epiphany is designed as a co-processor, so it's not booting the OS and relies on a host (like an ARM/x86) to run the show and issue commands. The Epiphany cores have significantly more functionality than GPU cores

This was back in late 2013. My general scripting had to do with automating wireless network simulations to explore parameter spaces and slicing & dicing results stored in MySQL or SQLite databases. I recall several showstoppers in Pytho

Amazing that Python 2 vs. Python 3 has still not yet been sorted out. I dipped my toe into Python a couple years ago when looking for a general-purpose scripting language and quickly gave up in frustration—Python 3 was by far the preferable

I'd overlook 99% of this if Apple gave a shit about the pro market instead of obsessing over phone sales. The software is on life support or dead (Aperture) and the hardware well behind the competition. OS X relies on a file system nea

FPGAs win in latency and I/O performance. Colleagues are running FPGA systems that handle nearly 100 Gbps of data. FPGAs will also get you latencies down in the microsecond range.

This was precisely my conclusion when getting into GPGPU programming two months ago. CUDA maps directly onto Nvidia hardware and its execution pipeline, leading to very tight expression of parallel algorithms. OpenCL, in attempting to map o

Stupid kid confused school with a place that supported learning and curiosity. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't make it through high school today.
