If I understand correctly, this is similar to Google's CitC (clients in the cloud) [1]. According to the article, Codespaces supports non-IDE users by allowing ssh. CitC supports non-IDE users with a network file system. This seems pre

That was the marketing message. They became for-profit in 2019 and took investment from Microsoft. Many people were skeptical before that because the main investors were mostly known for for-profit ventures.

The comment you are replying to does not look like it was written by someone from the USA.

This article does a good job explaining how PyTorch gained an advantage over TensorFlow. The 1.0 release of TensorFlow with graphs and feed_dicts was a little clunky but made sense. After 1.0 the second-system effect took hold quickly. Eage

Forgive my ignorance of legal matters, but could AMD write a CUDA compiler now or in the future? After some patent expires?

This is kind of the opposite of glue code.

I can't imagine working on a big project without `git bisect run` or an equivalent. Especially on projects with a big user surface and a QA department, there will be a constant stream of bugs that have nothing to do with the most recen

Did they try rotating the camera 180 degrees? I can understand how this might be confusing. Like a mirror track in Mario Kart, it would make the map feel totally different.

Probably the author wanted to use some C++20 feature.

Thanks. I'm kind of surprised that Firefox doesn't have the ability to compile with a pure C/C++ platform-independent javascript interpreter for odd architectures.

Tangentially, had anyone tried the HiFive Unmatched for numpy/matplotlib/browser type workloads on Linux?

Still waiting for the day when USA brewers master Pilsner. It's my favorite beer for hot weather. The European versions are light and crisp without being bland. All the American ones I've tried have too thick of a body, not enough

This article uses the word "psychotic" to describe Facebook's user tracking, but they probably meant "psychopathic".

Unless I missed something, the article does not concretely state what the VAX is.

Intuitively, we feel that larger solution spaces should make a problem harder because there are more possible solutions to consider. And of course this is true if exhaustive search is the only algorithm. But CS is full of problems where the

Is there any decision on tracking upstream vs. diverging?

I agree with everything you said. Global variables also make it much harder to use multithreading. The mega-class is only bad if many parts of the code require references to it. In a well-structured program most subsystems will only need re

I interpret the author's proposed model as: "story mode" is git log --grouped and "commit-by-commit" mode is git log Are you proposing something different?

I don't think every single regularization method in the cocktail can be applied to non-neural-network methods, but I'm pretty sure some of them can, like data augmentation. The authors could have figured out which methods can be a

"Commercial equivalent" might be more clear than "commercial version" - at first I thought the program was dual-licensed.

Handbrake is great for transcoding! Not sure if it can do the more esoteric tasks.

GH Discussions is great when the question is closely tied to a particular repo. I don't see how it competes with SO for things like design patterns, algorithms, programming language usage, etc. I wonder how much of SO fits in the &quot

Unfortunately this style can be a hard sell for the people you live with. Some people don't want their home to look like a restaurant / workshop / office / warehouse / etc.

Do you have any insight on why PID controllers are used for this application? PID assumes a system with a continuous control input, but water boilers usually have an on/off switch. Is the input something like a PWM value? My temperatur

Abstracting a bit, this is an application of the principle "represent important intermediate results as explicit data structures". It shows up in many places: testing, extensibility, logging, and parallelization are all easier to

What are you "getting at" by adding two vectors of different dimensions? It's not obvious to me. Off-by-one dimensionality errors are so common in programming. If the language does something like zero-extending instead of rai

A lot of native English speakers think English is a difficult language to learn. It's true that English has a lot of spelling and pronunciation inconsistencies caused by mixing German, Latin, Greek, etc. But English is structurally ver
