- First, bookmarks - if you bookmark something and close the tab, the bookmark stays there forver. If you bookmark something that you know you won't need later (e.g. after you finish researching something), then it adds a mental burden

There's also systems like Loxone where you have to wire everything but it avoids a star-like system as you can connect switches and lights in a tree-like fashion (ie, to connect another node, find the nearest node already connected and

The only reason I'm using FF is TreeStyleTab. I seriously don't understand how people live without it. Right now I have 993 open tabs, sometimes I have 100, sometimes 2k - don't really care, but they are easily navigatable as

> That said, you CAN still have Ableton's plugins displayed in the manner you prefer. It's a hidden feature that's not documented. Pretty easy to setup, but not discoverable. It's an option that they developed but dec

That's all understandable and I agree that they had the courage to go the 'other direction' and succeeded in doing so. And that's part of what makes Live special and what makes it fun to use, which I do on daily basis. B

Now if ONLY they added things all other DAWs have - say, a mixer where you could see all your attached plugins at once? Try mixing a 100-channel project with a few plugins on most tracks where you have to click on the track first to see whi

That would have been a fair comparison 10 years ago. These days FL Studio is no less advanced than Ableton in some regards (e.g. the mixer, etc).

Yes, thanks a million for doing that! I've read the 'despecialization' of arrow-rust PR which actually seemed to end up being quite simple (but it's a breaking change, so a 3.0 candidate?) Hope that something similar can

It almost feels like they've intentionally limited this batch to 16G so that next year they can say "We've Quadrupled the RAM!"

To each his own, I'm close to saturating 2013 32G iMac almost every day. To me personally, anything less than 64-128G these days is a joke, especially given how cheap the ram is (non-integrated, of course).

Parquet is awesome, but it's sad their Rust parquet crate only works on nightly rustc, which is a no-no in many cases. Not sure why they chose to go that way (well, because of trait specialization, technically speaking - which is not l

iMac as well. Also, the previous Mac Mini has 64G max memory and not the laughable 16G.

I know. Been there, done that. To each his own, I guess. An open tab is an open tab, if I close it, it's gone forever unless I bookmark it which I would very rarely do. A bookmark is an inverse, it's going to stay there forever un

Stuff that’s easier to keep as open tabs (in a tree format via TreeStyleTab) and eventually close those trees when they are no longer needed, as opposed to bookmarking everything and eventually accumulating a bajillion of irrelevant bookmar

I have 1500 tabs open in Firefox, plus CLion, PyCharm, a few Jupyter kernels eating 5-15G, a few apps running in background - it’s often nearing 32G on a 32G 7-year old Mac and sometimes goes into swap space. I personally won’t consider any

You can choose 16Gb for +$200.

And no way to buy a previous Mini with 10Gbe/64GB now either?... (from Apple)

Holy cow, that's true. New 2020 Mini with a 16GB RAM, seriously?

In many cases, Pluto's execution model would be prohibitively obscure (despite being 'pure'). E.g., at work I quite often have 100gb-ram Jupyter notebook kernels, where running one extra command or running commands in a wrong

Well that's sort of what youtube-dl does, no? Except for you don't have to inspect network tab or merge anything manually, and you can choose quality and download playlists etc.

What about e.g., being able to run guis like pycharm/clion that run on Linux in corporate environments where you only have direct access to a windows box?

You can also export them from LightGBM and XGBoost (see sklearn-onnx) for forests and tract will handle them! // well, almost... I need to finally find some time and finish my tract PR :)

You can create your base of knowledge by watching courses and reading articles and books instead of hanging on tiktok all day long, I guess.

You don't "fight the borrow checker" after a while; rather, you enjoy the fact that it exists. "Difficult syntax" becomes enjoyable as well, and it's all subjective. > I think this profession is hard enough

Bad window management and keyboard shortcuts compared to Windows, seriously. What does that consist of, to be exact?

Just noticed - undo is pretty flaky, e.g. if you draw a few shapes that get shape-detected like squares and circles, pressing undo will not only erase the last shape but also remove shape-detection on the second-last shape.

The difference here is that, C++ templates are closer to just "string replacement", as they're not validated (basic syntax aside) until you instantiate them. As such, in C++, your generic type T can be whatever the user decid
