Fair enough. Thanks for the response!

Since the author seems to be in the comments, have you ever considered implementing a Typora-style live preview? (Typora, for those who don't know, hides the Markdown formatting as you type, and shows it again when you move the cursor

I've been reading about 5-10 books a year for the last 10 years or so, after having not read anything of substance (outside of school) for some years prior to that. Since my reading time is limited, I want to read books that are really

No, the abstractions are not sufficient. We do care about these details, a lot. Of course, not every application is optimized to the hilt. But if you want to so optimize an application, exactly things you're talking about are what co

Maybe open source means different things to different people? To me, open source isn't a transaction (even one with "nothing owed" as it were), as much as a community. What I get from participating in open source is to be a p

It's more like you always had a disease and just didn't know it. Celiac comes to mind as a common example. I know people who improved a lot once they got diagnosed, and just never realized the symptoms meant anything before that.

I can see this if you go from site X to site Y where you're logged in on both X and Y, and you can correlate (say) the email. But if you're logged into Y (the store) but not X some random referrer, how do you attribute the convers

The early, cheap phase of streaming was funded on the back of overpriced, bundle cable subscriptions. I think it's underappreciated how much streaming gutted this business model. Not that it was justified per se, but streaming went fro

It's worth noting that was a turning point: the "more wood behind fewer arrows" policy adopted by Larry [1] initiated the die-off cycle of Google products. Prior to that, as far as I am aware, they were much more tolerant of

When I was an intern at Google circa 2010, there was a guest lecture from a business professor who described exactly this process. At the end of it, he made a comment like, "Of course none of this will happen to Google. You're too

Ok, serious question. If you think the threat is real, how are we not already screwed? OpenAI is one of half a dozen teams [0] actively working on this problem, all funded by large public companies with lots of money and lots of talent. The

This doesn't make any sense. If it was a disagreement, they could have gone the "quiet" route and just made no substantive comment in the press release. But they made accusations that are specific enough to be legally enforce

How do you know what kind you are? I have zero response to caffeine up to a certain point, and then past that I get shaky and anxious. One cup of tea, no response. Two is too much. Coffee is often on the edge. But no effect on alertness no

It's not totally clear what you're looking for. As you noted, polyhedral compilers work on a pretty restricted subset of programs, but are fairly impressive in what they do. There has been research on distributed code generation [

I feel like it's the exact opposite. We're drowning in data. Consider: the Library of Congress has (literally) a copy of every work that has ever been in print in the U.S. The Internet Archive has archived much of the public inter

Let's not exaggerate here. I've got the M2 Pro Mac Mini, and it is nearly silent, but depending on your workload you still generate nontrivial heat and the fans do need to run to keep it cool. Maybe I notice more because I build a

Legion is a C++ runtime system. It exposes APIs in C++ and C. You can write code directly to it with C++ (and CUDA/HIP/SyCL if you want to use GPUs). But the only requirement is a C++ compiler and standard build system (Make/

Parallelism in CS is a bit like security in CS. People know it matters in the abstract senses but you really only get into it if you look for the training specifically. We're getting better at both over time: just as more languages&#x2

I don't think people object to de-duping true duplicates. The problem is near duplicates, where the original question/answer didn't quite cover what you're asking. In those cases, it can be frustrating getting past the S

We already have townhouses (that share a wall but own their own land) and condos (which share land and the building). There are also well-established legal precedents for things like easements (e.g., for access, water, sewer, see [1]). I&#x

Yes, we're focus mostly on scientific computing. One of our major apps is S3D, which we ported to Regent from Legion C++ [1]. This has been the first time the domain scientists have been able to modify the code themselves; previously t

I should also note that there is Pygion if you want to use Python. Not a lot of great reference material right now, but there's the paper: https://legion.stanford.edu/pdfs/pygion2019.pdf And code samples: https:&

Chapel's killer feature, in my opinion, is being able to take something that looks like a simple loop and turn it into distributed code (via domain maps). To the extent that you can write your program in terms of that feature, you can

It's more like they flood the results so you literally can't find the quality product unless you know the brand name to search for. I can't be an expert in every vertical, so either I go to some sort of trusted review platfor

Again, not a physicist. But my understanding is that on a femptosecond timescale (the duration of the x-ray pulse generated by LCLS-II), effectively no reactions occur. The pulse destroys the sample, so that means you have to pump through a

I don't work on this directly, but I do adjacent stuff in the computer science research group at SLAC. Feel free to ask me questions, I guess? (I will not be able to say much about the physics.)
