If the C++ code in comparison uses boost.coroutine2 library, then it's not surprising it performs poorly. Boost.coroutine2 library has an architectural flaw which causes it to throw (and then catch) an exception on coroutine completio

How does Clojerl compare to Lisp Flavored Erlang ( http://lfe.io/ )? LFE looks like a quite mature project and it maps Lisp directly to BEAM. Interestingly, LFE has a collection of Clojure-like macros ( https://gi

This is silly. One of my personal stupid mistakes in Python is forgetting to delete a trailing comma. The resulting code is still valid, because a trailing comma produces a tuple. a = b,

I needed something like this that allows access to and manual manipulation of the cache, and I ended up forking functools.lru_cache code. This library definitely fits the bill.

I'm yet to see any concrete details of those "backdoors" they found in the Huawei equipment. I'm not saying there aren't any. But no concrete evidence of them surfaced yet. So far it's just some bullshit fro

The "problem" is, in a big corp nobody gives a damn how much things cost. But you see, it's only a problem from a certain point of view (you want to get things done quick and cheaply). Otherwise, it's not a problem at

The expertise scale level question is bogus. You'll get people with low expertise who believe their level is high because they think that's all there is to know about a technology (advanced beginners), while experienced people wo

I'm shocked, shock to find all the hacking going on here! Seriously, I'm not even surprised. Whether it's intentional or not doesn't matter. Huawei pays a lot for advertising to all popular laptop reviewers on Youtube.

Did Marissa Mayer have any accomplishments at either Google or Yahoo? It looks like she just /was/ there, but she didn't make any significant decisions which can be undoubtedly attributed to her.

I don't know about J, but on occasion I have to deal with q/kdb+ and I hate it with passion. That system is pure crap. I'm convinced that the primary purpose of q/kdb+ is to extract as much money as possible on support

Depending on Python is actually much better than dependencies on other runtimes, just as Java. Firstly, Python is everywhere now. And secondly, you can just 'pip install --user' and use it even without root privileges (which is

It's not dead, but the hype is long gone. Since my free gigabytes promotion ended, I never felt the need to use it. Dropbox still periodically spams me with upgrade offers, which I just ignore.
