Yes, ignoring that most people need a loop now and then, even pure NumPy-using code has a lot of potential. Consider "a + b + c + d". For large arrays, the problem is that it creates many temporary results of same size as original

But I think a strong trend will be that less experienced and less skilled (and over-confident) developers will be more easily lured. How do you counter this trend when recruiting, and filter for the one that is skilled enough but still can

To me it seems like recruiting of a developer worth anything, from scratch and without an existing team to help you to recruit or lure, must be much more difficult than getting an amazing idea or selling said amazing idea. Is that just beca

What this doesn't include is the efficiency of motors. Gasoline engines has an efficiency of 25-30%. Electrical cars are much more efficient (Tesla seems to quote 88% for Tesla Roadster). So while your calculation shows that you about

As a Norwegian this keep coming up in lunch conversations. I just bought an old used car from somebody buying a Tesla. What we come back to is the very high sale taxes on new cars in Norway (our "rule of thumb" is that cars are cl

This seems to be very of date? My understanding was that when SipHash arrived it knocked out all of these? (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) This may be an interesting weakness with the StackOverflow system; if there's an answer t

If you do that a lot, Adaptive Rejection Sampling (or some variant if it's not log-concave) may be useful; it builds up the rejection envelope while trying to sample and often succeed in 5-10 evaluations.

I would expect it is already a reality in some or all of those countries? I know it is in Norway and has been like that for a long time. When the government/taxes pay the health care bills anyway, frequent home visits to reduce expenses are

Note that for for-loop-style number crunching code, the speedup you are aiming for over CPython is on the order of 50x-750x depending on cache locality. I'm definitely not saying that PyPy won't do better than 15x speedup on number crunchin
