GCC compiles C to assembly, and then uses GAS to turn that into actual machine code... So is GCC a transpiler, and GAS the compiler?

Gold plated is useful because gold doesn't rust, and still conducts decently.

Wake word logic is not the hard part, you can do it in software relatively cheaply (cmusphinx/pocketsphinx handles wake word type logic in realtime with relatively low cpu requirements) Microphone quality is an issue, but there's

You'd imagine, but as someone that's tried, voice recognition is just one part of it, and is a rather hard problem in terms of computing power required. Note that the linked DeepSpeech stuff is a tensorflow based solution, and on

which, by spec, only allows breaking the word if the word is too long to fit on a line by itself. You'd need like a 1 inch wide screen to hit that edge case from what I've been testing.

only if the word is too long to fit on a line by itself. If the browser is breaking it at the end of a line instead of flowing it to the start of the next line, then it's in violation of the spec.

That's not an upside. That's a downside that got parlayed into an upside.

I once had a phone with a removable back, and a special case designed to hold a massive battery in place without the back plate. Sucker was almost like a brick in your hand, but I've got huge hands, and I LOVED the fact that my batter

But you have to quantify the max-min, cause it's quite easy for the data to make that way more expensive then "merge then sort". I.e., run your algo on [[0, 1000000000], [1, 2]]

by Vendan 9y ago
Nah, the trick is knowing that merging and then sorting isn't the best way.

That'd be applicable if TCP were a valid alternative. In many cases, TCP is not at all a valid alternative.

Go is multithreaded. Paying a small price to use multiple cores vs. only being able to use a single core? I'll take the multicore. It's not like concurrent lock-free datastructures are without cost...

by Vendan 9y ago
It's a bad comparison, cause the Go version is using a "db" (key/value store) that tends to use quite a bit of memory.

JS is single threaded. Putting a mutex on one data structure is not going to reduce your performance significantly below single threaded.

by Vendan 9y ago
No. There was a lot of effort put into things that make no sense in the go version, including using a concurrent, lockfree, snapshot iterating hash array, where they'd most likely have better performance in this case with a map and a

While I don't support what GP is advocating, JSON based apis are often horrible. Apis that return a list of objects or an object based on having >1 or 1 result are just horrifying, and that's just the start of how badly JSON g

Better pattern is http://eagain.net/articles/go-json-kind/ Then you do one switch to get the correct message type to decode into, and boom, you can just `.Run` or `.Handle` or however you design the interface, and

I did, and wrote some else in here, but a lot of it boils down to poor choices in the Go code. They're using an embedded K/V store designed for high read loads and are writing to it often, there's really complex concurrent l

interface{} is not reflection, and using both reflection and excessive amounts of interface{} are not a good idea in Go, and frankly, I don't see anything in this code that would require using either

by Vendan 9y ago
One thing to note is that they were using boltdb, which is an in process K/V store designed for high read loads, and doing a lot of writes to it. boltdb also tends to use a lot of memory, as it's using a mmap'd file. The sw

Go's crypto libs are pretty well made, and the ssh libs are less crypto and more "here's an interface similar to os/exec that lets you run commands on a remote system"

Go can do almost the exact same thing, in fact, it's baked into the stock http server library.
