Documentation is a moving target. Depending on your project, you often have to mix background explanations with code samples. Fields evolve. New people show up. Documentation can never really be good enough. Books provide a way of filling i

Oreilly author and project lead for an open source eclipse foundation (apache style project though!) project that runs a company. Happy to answer questions here about the how/what/why this happens.

You can generally persist the results your self to disk though. Especially since a lot of things end up being numpy arrays. So you run 1 script that saves all the results, and another that loads it and runs just the part of your workflow yo

Java's tooling for this is among the top. We're spoiled compared to the dynamically typed languages :)

Yeah I agree. We do something similar if we're using zeppelin or beaker. I organize it, put an uber jar in there and then run everything from there. That's a ton easier.

Yeah but the whole point is "interactive coding". It doesn't feel very interactive when I have to context switch all the time :). I'd prefer something closer to what the lisp folks get to do with the repl where you can s

Data frame rendering in the various notebooks (beaker,jupyter,zeppelin,..) is wonderful. Your workflow sounds closest to what I do. If I want to visualize something I tend to compile my thoughts/imports and organize things in an edito

Already a customer, you have nothing you can sell me :).

Oh I won't argue you with you there. I just find myself rotating quite a bit because I have to do both deployment as well as writing code for experimentations. What I'm specifically talking about is even that kinda hacky experimen

The only thing that stops me from being able to use notebooks full time is their intellisense compared to IDEs is horrible. I like being able to use them for demos/presentations, but I can't imagine trying to code within one prima

Exactly!

I don't think I changed my angle here? I'm still addressing the same point. Tech doesn't matter. Simplicity does. Even in our own product line, we only do a small subset of this. We don't even require a cluster to run. W

You bundle way more than they do and on top of that have your own file system just like mapr does. Your pitch is still about differentiated tech, not a large install base, a differentiated business model and something related to people li

According to my customers and users yes? Granted, we do a lot more than just that though. Dl4j itself has a decent sized user base. Ranging likely from your phone maker to your bank and retail store. We have our own software distro too whi

Both Horton and Cloudera require a huge number of partner resellers and consultants. What horton and cloudera have isn't just software, but brand, an install base, and the ability to back it up. They merged partially because they were

Yes not all of it - there are still android specific bits yet. Enough of it is openjdk though.

by agibsonccc 8y ago
They are the exact same. Oracle moved the core bits to openjdk long ago. See: https://jaxenter.com/green-interview-jdk-binaries-137078.htm...

Not sure that's relevant either. Within the target environments you're still looking at 5 to 10 years just for red hat: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013 Azul publishes this as well: https:/&#x

by agibsonccc 8y ago
What's being missed here is there is a whole slew of vendors that support openjdk. Those patches will come from red hat, ibm, azul,.. as well.

Use openjdk instead. By default on linux, that's what will continue to happen. You won't really be impacted by this.

by agibsonccc 8y ago
You're a long time out of date at this point. Google merged openjdk a long time ago for their base JVM. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/30/android_openjdk/

To answer some of your questions (I use vertx and mainly focus on the JVM world) - reactive is actually a widely used term in the java world to mean "event loop with async programming. Origin of the term here: https://www.re

Yeah we definitely need to spend some more time on benchmarks after all it's said and done. That being said, while gemm is one op, it's a lot more than just jni back and forth that use other libraries. What matters here are also

Softbank actually has numerous business units ranging from reselling/distribution of various products to monetizing telco data. I would be careful to even call them just a telco. I can say for a fact they have other robotics efforts as
