It's shorter in Regent :-) https://github.com/StanfordLegion/jupyter-regent/blob/master... But anyway, the reason we don't really push fibonacci is because it (a) doesn't really expose the uniq

I agree we should put more effort into the front page (including a good amount of soul searching to figure out what we even want to be there). Most of our users are in HPC doing simulations of PDEs (e.g. [1]), but we've also got a deep

If you have a tolerance for video, I'd recommend the bootcamp [1]. Otherwise the tutorial [2]. I'm not familiar with all of the systems you mentioned, but I'd think of it more as a Spark or Dask or MPI competitor and less as

It's probably unrelated, but do you have a link/citation to 1990s Legion? We started around 2010-2011. The project immediately prior to this was called Sequoia[1] (published on 2006, probably started a couple years prior). [1]: h

Hi HN, Didn't post this, but am one of the authors of Legion (more on the language side / Regent [1]). Feel free to ask me questions. I do think our front page does an especially bad job of explaining what we do, so I'm sure

Is it though? The adblocker runs locally on your own computer; it certainly prevents the ads from doing what the designer intended, but it doesn't make the designer's computer (or any computer controlled by the ad network) do an

Am I the only one who's terrified of the security implications of such a system? You're talking about running (from the car's perspective) untrusted code on a fleet of cars, dynamically and in real time. Even if it's cry

One thing with cable was that there was never a feasible way to offer separate packages with and without ads. (Yes, there were specific channels that didn't have them, but there was never a technically feasible way to do that across al

Does this page have some sort of camel-case aware word breaking? As I resize the page I notice it always remains broken at a word boundary and never breaks inside a word. Ok, I see it now: there are wbr tags between the words on the page. T

It gives you a limited amount of control of a second app while you have another one one fullscreen. For example: You can use Quicktime to record yourself speaking to a set of PowerPoint slides, and then use the touchbar to end the recording

Pandoc is definitely the way to go in terms of ease of writing and the quality of the output. It's not super difficult to take Jekyll-ish input and generate books from it either, e.g. I built a tool to do this: https://bitbu

A bit late to the party, but just FYI, this research uses Legion, a next-generation runtime system we're developing for distributed task execution [1]. Part of the subtext of this paper is that Legion is just much, much more efficient

Can we at least make the C API more feature complete so that it's a plausible target for more users? As far as I know it's not really a viable target for a heavy-duty user like a language compiler backend.

And in fact one of the ongoing problems with LLVM is that the interface churns so much. As a user it's a huge pain to keep up and to make sure there are no regressions. (And keep in mind this also includes performance, code size, debug

I agree that the settlements themselves would have been relatively dense. However, this is missing two critical elements: they were (a) tiny by modern standards, and (b) surrounded by vast expanses of open, uninhabited space. That meant tha

No, they don't design CPUs. They design ASICs that run inside their network. This is the secret sauce that keeps them competitive in HPC environments where latency/bandwidth matter a lot more. They used to do the whole shebang, ba

I don't consider myself qualified to answer that question, but I do think someone should study it. It would be interesting to try to correlate various empirical outcomes with available living space (though of course it will be tricky t

I don't find this surprising at all. People who lie, first lie to themselves. In many cases I suspect they're being entirely genuine and don't see where they fall short of their own self-assessment.

I think there's an asymmetry that you're not quite capturing here: when you add an item to the checklist, you have a specific concrete failure at hand (the process just failed, you had everyone on hand to do your root cause analys

There are languages where TCO is defined as part of the language spec, specifically to give programmers permission to write this sort of code. Some Lisps (Scheme, I think) and Lua work this way. TCO is a relatively well-understood optimizat
