I like very much how humble and how easy and crystal clear are his responses.

GitLab plan is "embrace, extend, and extinguish". And I hope they will fail on that, and then, they'll start providing standard integration APIs for third party.

Just use 24 of them interleaved/stripped and it will take just one hour for loading the data.

Both disk and CPU failures are recoverable on expensive hardware.

Also interesting is the relation between Solomonoff induction and Kolmogorov Complexity.

Neural networks are trained with information from the Universe. So, in my opinion, it should not be shocking at all that neural networks store some projection/model/echo of the universe (e.g. physical laws, maths, etc.).

The end for this could come with voluntary incorporation of North Korea as a Chinese new province.

£99+VAT is overpriced. Similar items can be bought for 60 USD (or even less), shipping included (buying at Amazon and/or eBay).

It reminds me the "no synthesizers" used in the 80's by some musicians :-)

The CPUs architecture is Harvard, like in its prececessor. However, that seem to apply just to RAM, separated in the memory map in areas for instructions and data. For the ROM access, flash ROM accessed via SPI, looks like can be accessed f

Why are not already free? Most EU scientific institutions take tons of public money (even private scientific institutions).

Why? Except because of memory allocation serialization impact, there is no reason for a multithreaded process being slower than multiprocess. And if that's the cause, it could be solved using multiple heaps.

Sure, it was irony ;-)

Wow, so ESP32 has much more ROM/Flash and RAM memory than previous ESP8266 chip: "Embedded Memory – 448 KB Internal ROM – 520 KB Internal SRAM – 8 KB RTC FAST Memory – 8 KB RTC SLOW Memory"

"As part of .NET Core, Microsoft (and the community) has created a whole new web server called Kestrel. The goal behind it has been to make it as lean, mean, and fast as possible. IIS is awesome but comes with a very dated pipeline mod

How much will cost to manufacture chips with that technology? Current silicon lithography is a photograph superposition process. Will be "drawing" with carbon nanotubes as cheap, or will require per-transistor "drawing"

I meant Allwinner A64, not A20 (the A20 is Cortex A7 based). Also, in some places A64 chip is told to cost 5$ in volume: http://www.phonedroid.net/blog/allwinner-a64-incredible-5-ta...

I meant Allwinner A64 (4 core ARMv8 Cortex A53, 512KB L2 cache, 128KB L1 cache, 2 core Mali 400, video interface, etc.), and not A20 (4 core Cortex A7).

Because English is world's lingua franca. That's the reason e.g. most open source code is in English: not because of English colonialism, but because practical reasons, so everyone can read it (English is teached as second languag

In my opinion, asking for "removing unused features" is one of the consequences of full rewrites. Also, a reason for having to maintain "dual systems" for years. It is not infrequent having "dual systems" and h

Yes, thank you. Mediatek acquired Ralink.

"You could conceivably share an entire C++ class between two processes using these primitives." Not really. May be just memory mapping a plain class/struct, without virtual function tables, etc. (pointers are not necessarily

Well, I just would like a 64 ARMv8 core cheap board for less than 100$, in few years :-D

"That said a 50$ 64 core ARMv8 SoC is pretty much impossible to make even in China, by China, for China." Allwinner A20 (4 core ARMv8 Cortex A53, 512KB L2 cache, 128KB L1 cache, 2 core Mali 400, video interface, etc.) costs 6$ in

That's direct competition for Cavium (american multicore MIPS -max 48 cores/chip on Octeon III SoCs- and ARM -max 48 cores/chip on ThunderX SoCs- chip maker). If they manage to sell 64-core ARM chips for 50$, even using just

TL;DR: If I understood it correctly, it describes performance differences on how using one thread for doing JNI to LevelDB request serialization and IPC communication between other threads, using different IPC mechanisms. I would like to se

They already do: DLNA. Which is pretty much like what Chromecast, and its clones, do.
