This is pretty cool. The title would be a bit more descriptive if it were “Fast Rolling Quantile Filters for Python”, since the high-pass/low-pass filter functionality seems to be the focus. The README mentions it uses binary heaps - i

There are multiple implementations, but the contents of the .git directory are essentially the API, which tightly constrains how it can be implemented.

If you use it as a full project management tool it can be a bit painful, but is there a better tool you’d recommend for someone who just wants a good bug tracker?

Unless those projects have required copyright assignments (neither does, to my knowledge), then you’d need to get agreement from the copyright holder for every contribution that still has code in the project. If there are any holdouts (or e

One pain point with Prometheus is that is has relatively weak support for quantiles, histograms, and sets[1]: - Histograms require manually specifying the distribution of your data, which is time-consuming, lossy, and can introduce signific

Wow. The previous release was in 2016, so I was sure that XQuartz was dead for good. Nice to be pleasantly surprised! I occasionally use XQuartz to run graphical programs over SSH using X forwarding, although I’ve mostly moved on to other a

That’s just semantics around the word “scheduled”. The FDA insisted on a course of action that makes it unlikely the AZ vaccine will receive an EUA before April. They did this despite the fact that pretty much no one with vaccine expertise

We're limited by supply, so the existence of (limited quantities of) better vaccines isn't a good reason to block people from choosing to get a safe vaccine that still provides a reasonable degree of protection. There are plenty o

Rob Landley was at one point working on an interesting project to combine a fork of the Tiny C Compiler (tcc) with QEMU's Tiny Code Generator (TCG) to create a compact, BSD-licensed drop-in replacement for gcc and binutils that would w

I think you’re likely underestimating how complex a modern microarchitecture like the A78 or X1 is compared to the RISC-V cores that have been open sourced so far. It’s unclear to me what organizations would have the resources to develop s

That might be true, but I wouldn't expect the microarchitectures that achieve this performance to be free (in either the "gratis" or "libre" senses of that word). Designing a superscalar application processor requir

If they're sticking with ARM I would bet on them using an ARM Mali GPU, since they would almost certainly be licensing the microarchitecture from ARM anyway.
