> What do you mean by "hold u"? Holding u just repeats the key, right? No, it does not. Holding u briefly overlays a keyboard of "compositions" for u, and you can just press whatever key you want afterwards to pick on

What do you precisely mean by "back in the day" ? I've been "holding the letter" for 5 years at least.

People don't want to live in industrial areas, or fully commercial areas either. That's what "zoning" is for. Maybe the city should just designate a zone / neighborhood for short term rentals and call it a day.

? On MacOS to get accents you just "hold <vowel>, and press <number in pop up for the accent you want>". For ü, "hold u, press 2". You don't need to use "Option" for anything.

When on Linux or Windows, one of the most annoying things for me is that they use a Compose key, that requires me to 'AltGr+"' to write ü. On MacOSX, I just hold u, and a menu appears, that allows me to select ü by just press

I don't even know what PartialOrd and PartialEq even are, mathematically speaking... The docs about these feel written by someone who knew that "some API like this" would be a good idea, but that somehow never managed to fles

Do the resnet results use the new sparsity feature ? I'd be interested to know what impact does that have.

I didn't measure any significant difference on memory consumption with async vs sync. I didn't even need to measure perf to notice a difference.

Yeah, Rust is not certified, and probably can't be certified without a spec.

by fluffything 6y ago
Where do they mention that they decided against Rust ? Ada is certified by ISO for being used in automotive control systems. Rust isn't. So I'm not sure how Rust could have even been an option. AFAIK, the options are Ada, MISRA C,

So what's the marging of ARM per chip bought? ARM's IP isn't free. It is created by engineers that cost money. Those chip sell for 0.10$, so ARM's margin's can't be more than 0.10$ per chip, otherwise seller wo

> Nvidia has made no agreement to continue those guarantees. Hasn't Nvidia has actually increased those guarantees with everything they have agreed on for buying ARM?

Of course it can? Just buy it from Softbank at over 40bn$. "It's as simple as that". What the choosing beggars want, however, is getting ARM back from Softbank for free. After Softbank paid 32bn$ for it. And there you are rig

You mention this as if the alternative was obvious. AFAICT the two main alternatives are a Windows Laptop and a Linux Laptop. Each of them with their own _ton_ of problems.

A nintendo switch has ~2 hours of battery... There is a big difference between having interest in a market, and being able to compete in it. There are also many trade-offs. Nobody has designed yet a GPU architecture that works at all from 5

That's not what everyone thinks. NVIDIA already has an CPU architect team building their own ARM CPUs with an unlimited ARM license. ARM doesn't give NVIDIA a world-class CPU team like apple's, amazon's or fujitsu. ARM o

Nvidia could have bought a world-class CPU architects team, and build their own ARM or RISC-V chips (NVIDIA has an infinite ARM license already).

What have confidence when we can just look at ARM financials? There are more ARM chips sold each year than those of all its competitors together. Yet ARM's revenue is 300 million $. Why? Because ARM lives from the ISA royalties, and th

All our linux kernel module and driver development have been using Rust for a while. I've written a Linux kernel module in Rust that we use in production, and so have many others. What the Linux kernel is discussing is how to integrate

Damn. Helm is the most important emacs package I use. It's what makes emacs "emacs" for me, and the main reason I find every other editor "from the past". Is there a way to help Thierry financially?

Ivy is at best an alternative to ido. It requires using return/tab to complete things, which is precisely what helm does not do.
