We use Colaboratory internally and it’s wonderful. It especially makes teaching and learning ML quite a bit easier. :) I’m excited to see others getting access to this tool.

Even if it isn't nefarious, it's often unwanted. I usually turn around if I have to provide my email to see some sort of whitepaper or sample because it means I will have to later unsubscribe from whatever email list I was put on

Speaking on his pricing, $90/month is more expensive by far than IntelliJ Ultimate/PHPStorm/RubyMine by far with a lot less value. Having worked at an org with $xxMM in revenue, we still wouldn’t have paid for it. We would ha

Not to mention the folks on this app aren't exactly drawn from a random distribution. I wouldn't be surprised if there are extreme biases at play.

I mean, they're kind of apples and oranges. nsq is a primarily in-memory (minus the fallback to disk if too many messages are in flight) pubsub service fundamentally designed for spreading load and availability. There's no deliver

Short unavailability (10-20s) of the partitions whose leadership were assigned to that broker, followed by otherwise uninterrupted service. If it was a clean failure, no big deal. If the disk started having issues and taking a long time for

We "only" had 20K messages/s at my last job, and Kafka worked incredibly well for us. We ran 3 brokers and always had headroom for jobs which read the last N days of the log. We had a mix of realtime (continuous) consumers an

Jars are also just zip files, so you can prepend a shell script without impacting the ability for Java/zip to decompress. Add a shell script to run Java on its self and you have a executable (though not a true native elf/mach bina

The JVM is a fairly nice platform overall if somewhat heavy (though with modules in JDK9 you can ship an executable package competitive in size to a Go binary). All that aside, performance is great and has a massive ecosystem of mature libr

Drive isn't shutting down. The older desktop app is deprecated, replaced by Drive Backup and Sync and adding a new product which is effectively a network filesystem built on top of Drive.

If you want true offline copies, you can use Drive Backup and Sync which does effectively what it did before.

This. The padding changes as well. You have to work hard to produce the same ciphertext from a given plaintext. The claim is bogus.

Different CPUs perform subtly different. Not to mention that server-class workloads tend to expose bugs and architectural shortfalls. Ryzen hasn't had great press in this regard, so decision makers are going to regard AMD with some ske

Those that don't study algorithms are doomed to reinvent them, often poorly. Totally agreed. A knowledge of "conventional" algorithms influences how you write code. Sometimes it manifests as knowing which algorithm to choose,

It's a blog, the content doesn't have to be novel. That said, the author would improve the post by replicating your context links.

It's just a data feed error. The markets have not actually moved.

Can't agree more. I balked at the cost (still sort of do as a GCP user) until I joined Google and was able to peek behind the curtain. The network quality is absurd. GCP customers pay a premium for having the same network reach as Goog
