The first thing you should do is profile the code (py-spy is my preferred option) and see if there are any obvious hotspots. Then I'd actually look at the code, and understand what the structure is. For example, are you making lots of

One could flip that question around: given there's all these fast C/C++/Fortran libraries, why do we have all these scripting languages? The answer usually is there's a bunch of IO/parsing/configuration that we

And you don't think there might be a reason for all that (and that reason might correlate with people being happy to get one over them)?

Some platforms seem to require a large amount of effort to ship on by design (iOS being an obvious example), but if by the "web" you mean client side (server-side I agree is easier, but at some level any system where most of the w

But do you have users running their code on your system? I also run a few ARM SOCs, but I don't let random people run code on them.

I doubt this is related to the OS, more likely user home directories (e.g. people installing conda for x86 would run into issues running on arm), or shared software outside the standard OS setup.

You can use QEMU to do automatic emulation, but I suspect that's not common. Likely, the binaries are not from the OS, but from users/for users which run on different machines (and more likely than not NFS mounted across the syste

It's not on my desktop (not installable via my distro), not on my laptop (same), not on my router (same, and it's a completely different one!), not on my phone, not on any of the servers I interact with (and again, not installable

Most home routers have < 16MB of space.

But is micropython installed on my router (POSIX shell is)?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Spark right? My understanding was it was built on Hadoop ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Hadoop ) infrastructure.

by aragilar 3y ago
That seems to be the status of the whole hadoop ecosystem unfortunately (we're switching away from it at work).

Which pickle version did you use (usually the default is relatively old)?

That difference (at least in the math->numpy case) is entirely down to conversions (or at least it was when I profiled it ~7 years ago). If you're careful with types (i.e. avoiding converting from float to numpy scalar values), then

Those will likely cause more problems (as per https://xkcd.com/927/ ). While bootstrapping Python is a problem, it's a symptom, not a cause. The underlying cause is there is a substantial part of the ecosystem (of

It's probably Python 2, which won't have venv.

I'm curious what input method you've found for unicode maths, most of it seems to be input via various TeX-like DSLs (e.g. mathjax), or people just take photos (or screenshots of the TeX and paste into powerpoint...)? Also, (La)Te

0.79AU and 0.46AU would be the normal way to write it.

Is TeX that widely used for traditional publishing? The areas that TeX is good at (e.g. academic STEM) don't seem to have reduced in output, and there hasn't been a reasonable replacement in the 45(!) years since it came out, so a

I suspect the issue rarely is the language itself changing, but the tooling around it (in the JS case: bundlers, minifiers, polyfills etc.). I think JS/TS the language is good enough, it's really taking the code that's been w

Not here, and the majority of ISPs have no real interest in IPv6 unfortunately.

They're probably running lxd (which is only packaged for snap as far as I know), lxd is controlled by the "lxc" command (which isn't part of lxc...).
684.
by aragilar 3y ago
The "lxc" command runs lxd, you need to run "lxc-'command'" for actual lxc.

Is this a desktop/laptop? You can always run unstable if you think stable is too old (I run unstable on my dev systems, and stable on servers/anything I want to setup and let run). FYI, if you use a Ubuntu LTS release, then unless

But that wouldn't change needing to support an older gcc, nor change the "no breaking userspace" rule. CI won't run on every platform (nor all the different hardware that's out there). Random PRs will be just as ign

You assume there's code, and not an Excel sheet. More generally, who's doing the reviewing, and do they have the skillset needed (and how are they being compensated)? Additionally, are they limited to just the code provided, or ar

For things of sufficient complexity (e.g. maths), fixing the layout beforehand gives benefits to readers and writers of such documents. Also, receiving PDFs (over HTML) is much better for any processes which involve printing/sharing ou

I've played AOE4 (during the free load balance trial), and sure, it's not Age of Empires Online, that doesn't mean it's an AOE game (another example: Halo 4 and 5 may be called Halo games, it doesn't mean they are o

The new AOM is really buggy (c.f. the original), so "alive" probably only applies to AOE2. I'm not sure I'd call AOE4 "AOE" (yeah, it's branded as it, but so was "Age of Empires Online"), so the
