Yeah, Gardener looks like it's meant to address one tenant on multiple k8s clusters, and k3v looks like it's meant to address multitenancy in a single k8s cluster.

For people who have more Julia experience -- is this (thinking mainly of chapter 4) representative of how most Julia users do plotting? It looks like a lot of calling out to matplotlib via PyPlot. I know Julia has a ggplot-inspired library

In R, most of the high performance code isn't written in R, it's written in Fortran or C or C++ (R has really good C++ integration via Rcpp). Python has something similar. The value prop of Julia is supposed to be that you have a

If they wanted it to be considered a separate language, they should have changed the name. Perl 5 is not a different language than Perl 4 or Perl 3. Changing the meaning of the version number at that point is just hostile to being understoo

Yeah, this is an Azure play. The reseller model worked when Microsoft didn't want to deal with the sales channel and so if you're in Austin you find a local Microsoft vendor to deal with everything. Now Microsoft wants to bring it

I mean, the article includes a YouTube video of a presentation where the screengrab is a picture of Ron Rivest with his eyes glowing red, I'm not quite as sure as you that's clear.

Given that the blog post in question quotes from "On the Road to Fedora Workstation 31," I think Red Hat's adoption of Wayland is germane here.

Nvidia's drive doesn't support the GBM API on Linux, and the maintainer of Sway doesn't want to support Nvidia's preferred EGLStreams API.

I can't help but notice that Xweston and wwlnest are both projects that seem to have gone years without an active contribution. Sometimes projects become mature and don't need additional work, but I would be stunned if anything to

map() in purrr is functionally equivalent to lapply(). If you can do something in lapply, you can do it with map.

Because the pipes are at the end of the line, you can comment out a line and it will still work fine unless you're removing the last line of the chain.

I honestly find that less readable than Hadley's version, especially turning "by = cut" into "cut." This is where terseness really cuts into readability (and positional arguments is one of my least favorite features

I have really, really soured on Wikipedia over time. I find the site has gotten worse and less compelling, and contributing to it is a massive slough that nobody sane would undertake at this point. This is a decent writeup of some of the is

A friend pointed out to me that the author a few weeks ago put out a Python versus R comparison where he makes the rather incredible claim that the addition of some opinionated packages in the R ecosystem is more disunifying than the 2.7 to

I think the article sort of punts on providing examples of a complicated set of operations on a data frame. dplyr's author provides what I think is a good example of the differences between data.table and dplyr on a reasonably complex

People who were big into R pre-Tidyverse have this tendency to view the way they manipulated data frames pre-Tidyverse as the "basics," and Tidyverse as the "advanced" method. I think it does anyone learning R for the fi

Depending on the size of your data, you might not care that dplyr is slower than data.table. If you're better at writing/composing dplyr, you can often make up the speed difference between the two in terms of the savings in time s

To be clear, I think you and I are mostly in agreement. The OpenGL/Vulkan advocates are consistently pushing things that really only benefit people who have decided to adopt OpenGL/Vulkan without a lot of real-world support for th

It's such a weird narrative. OpenGL is outdated anymore; the Khronos Group sponsored alternative to things like Metal is Vulkan, which wasn't even announced until after Metal was already shipping, much less finalized. Mantle came

Flip it around: it's really hard to budget, plan for staffing, make commitments, etc. without the ability to give estimates of this sort. The best thing to give yourself when giving estimates of a dificult sort is the freedom to be wro

I think you underestimate how slowly things move in some places. There are still shops running COBOL on mainframes. Windows is going to have a place on servers for decades to come.

And "Android's adoption shows that Linux doesn't need a stable driver ABI" is a funny position to take, given how many problems that's caused Android, to the point where Google is adding a way for vendor drivers to
