In my experience I have encountered 3 different types of outages: 1. Multiple availability zones in a single region are experiencing reduced performance/outage. 2. A single availability zone is experience reduced performance/out

Why does this standard not fall under the purview of N.I.S.T.?

Yeah, this looks like an optimizer wrote the program. I presume the code was tested against natural images... so it might not be appropriate for all image types.

Because it's not a solved problem.

Does your "reminified" CSS actually compress better under GZIP than any of the independent minifiers? The variance you were seeing looks to be irrelevant in comparison.

I am far from an expert on this... but. For most software, can ARM realistically replace Intel? If we ignore the obvious advantages of the intrinsic instructions found in most Intel chips... Intel has a really solid and reliable clock spe

A 'primitive type' is one which can be directly operated on by intrinsic CPU instructions. My understanding of Scala was that all objects (such as Long, Int...) are encapsulated inside of an object. Therefore an array of boxed ty

by cjhanks 10y ago
Functional programming for a lot of numerical computing maps easier to mathematical notation. However, Scala is usually a worse choice than Java for numerical computing since everything is a boxed type.

Any feature extractor worth using will be robust against some amount of Gaussian noise. The neural nets will probably never even see the bad readings. It would surprise me if even unfiltered analog noise in the sensors significantly change

A significant portion of any real-world AI system is dedicated to extracting relevant features from raw sensor information. Doing that digitally has proven to have a very high cost rated in both watts and operating temperature. Most machin

I mean to say, device mapper was the only solution which worked in a production setting for me. I no longer work with that company and so I can't tell how those improvements would change the reliability. Presently I am using docker wi

I have tried to use Docker on very busy processing systems with short to medium running tasks. My efforts were on Ubuntu 16.04... because any non-LTS is almost a non-starter. There were two major obstacles; the file system driver and the Do

When you find that C++ templates are taking unacceptably long compile times, you often benefit from declaring an `extern template`. Some times I have CPP files which do nothing but declare `extern template` instantiations for types I infre

As a user who primarily uses SCons, I feel like my opinion of Waf is reasonably fair. 1. Developers trying to use Waf never realized that they were supposed to check-in the python BLOB into the repository rather than using a system package.

I hope so. I would love to have strict type annotation in development.

That scope logic is normal in many interpreted languages. I love it in Python.

Have any of Terrile's friends and family taken him to a therapist? For him to be so certain of such an improvable (and largely irrelevant) fact seems like a sign of mental illness to me.

I am the opposite way. In my experience usage of signed where the underlying type is conceptually unsigned introduces subtle bugs. Whereas the defined behavior of unsigned wrap usually causes very obvious stalls and overflows. I have see

GCC 4.9 was a pretty big step forward.. well, atleast `g++` was.
