Joke I assume? Unless there's a Philip Glass the adult-films actor.

By 'lame' I meant in terms of I couldn't see what it was supposed to do or how it was supposed to bring value. Certainly not criticising the superficial aspect of it, I couldn't care less about appearance. What I'm

Appreciated, but 16+ MB of images - there was no need given ~4K of text. That's a 4,000 times bloat. Please, professional devs don't need this. Just give us the info.

> Do you have a reference on that? Yeah, my totally infallible memory. Thanks for the PDF, nice when somebody provides more than the minimum information. Okay, from the same doc: The integer load and store quadword unaligned (LDQ_U

The alpha only accessed 8-byte aligned mem addresses (originally anyway). The bottom 3 bits were ignored (masked out) on lookups, per the spec, to allow users to stuff juicy extra info into these.

Agreed, then!

With respect, I think you're clouding things by trying to defend what is really defensible. Okay then. > Where do you draw the line? Drawing the line at native python, not pulling in packages that are written in another language. Pa

by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
I don't accept that. In the referenced article you're pulling in stuff which I believe is written in a different language (probably C). If you use native python, I'm sure you would accept it would be much slower and take up m

Agreed, it's a bugger and it's caused me more learning, effort & timewaste than any other piece of software that basically does so little, comparatively speaking, with anything else I use. And I still don't fucking unders

A better description (or indeed any at all) I've not come across before, at least it makes sense thanks

Just what is the holy spirit? I get the father/son, nobody ever bothered to let us know what that 3rd bit was supposed to be. Or why.

by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
I've never even heard of a minimum bend radius, and I care about my kit so I do tend to read the docs that come with it. Where are such details given, because I'm now curious, thanks.

Something I've never understood about combinators, perhaps you can help. Are they of any practical use, or really of mathematical interest only? I realise there are probably different kinds of combinatorsand the above are, I assume the

Yeah. It would make sense if he was running them serially and he sort of says that - "...show a near-perfect linear relationship, with each thread fully occupying one core for a period of 1.3 seconds". But that's not what he

I wouldn't disagree at all.

I think I get the idea, thanks. I am a bit ratty these days so it comes out a bit harsh.

I'm a back-end dev (inc. FP) and RDBMS guy and even I'd know not to do this; instead to pre-shrink images presented as decorative thumbnails. But let's be constructive, what form should my critical thinking have taken, how sh

In some ways I can only agree, having criticised others for apparently doing the same thing. I guess the difference is that it was completely bloody unnecessary to waste enormous amounts of bandwidth for the cost of just a little bit of bas

I'm surprised hemocyanin isn't poisonous to us, or at least bad. Ingesting copper just doesn't sound healthy. AFAIC it isn't something we usually do either, so no pressure to evolve a way to metabolise it either.
