I am not sure what your argument is supposed to be. That I am wrong because I haven’t gotten the hang of it after all these years? I do understand generators. For a long time. I still believe they are usually an anti-pattern, same like mass

by fp64 1y ago
That’s maybe my point, maybe not. Generators can be useful, but somewhat niche as you said. I still prefer explicit code and try to avoid generators, I can’t remember the last time I wrote a yield. I disagree on their elegance. From my earl

I’m using python since version 1 my friend, no need to get personal and insulting. I gave an example of something that is not defined properly in a PEP as well. I really do not like python, and one of the reasons is that is encourages wri

Fair point, they have a proper PEP. I’ve been burnt by `lst[::-1]` and the likes which TorchScript does not (did not?) support and to my surprise learned that the standard is not clear on this behaviour. Generators are fine but I somewhat f

This is one of the reasons I hate python, it allows for so many weird things that are only borderline standardised, if at all. When I started with python decades ago, I was also all hype, list comprehensions and functional patterns everywhe

I have filled plenty of paperwork for customs, my employer explained me what I had to do, because I imported stuff on behalf of my employer. I could have also just tried to hide it in my luggage, but then it wouldn’t surprise me if my visa

Somewhat related, there is NVIDIA CUDA Direct Storage[0] which provides an API for efficient “file transfer” between GPU and local filesystem. Always wanted to give it a try but haven’t yet [0]: https://docs.nvidia.com/gpudi

Blind Deconvolution is around for a while and from the estimated PSF you can gather the shake pattern (or tell whether it’s just overall out of focus). It just never worked good enough in practice but I remember some impressive results alre

Anything procedural works so much better in Houdini I find. I was excited about the geometry nodes in Blender and had some fun with them, but always hit a wall where things in Houdini are much better designed and much more powerful and flex

You can’t take the GDP in US$ for comparison, given the sanctions and all. PPP is a better means. I do not know about entrepreneurship, but I do know that a Russian’s average purchase power is significantly higher than what you might expect

What’s wrong with V8? Had only pleasant interactions with it so far (maybe compiling takes long, can’t tell, whole webkit is a nightmare in that regard)

Just started using it and I really appreciate the simplicity and design! I would, however, appreciate if I could track more than 3 "habbits" (not much more, I actually want to add just one more) even if that might be a bit more tr

Oh that’s super interesting, where in the VFX industry is Lua common? I typically deal with Python and maybe Tcl (I do mostly Nuke and pipeline integrations), and I can’t think of a tool that is scripted in Lua. But I’ve never worked with V

Not for me, I hardly use anything GUI apart from my browser. Can’t actually think of anything right now apart from some niche tools. Either way, the fact that I can customise it that easily in Chrome but not in Firefox is a huge factor why

^w is delete word in vim/bash/everywhere else. It’s terrible whenever I accidentally type this in the browser and the window closes. I typically close terminal windows with ctrl-d so I have this mapped in my browser as well. It’s

How can I swap ^W and ^D in Firefox? For Chrome I found an extension that works (…worked?) fine, the only thing for Firefox I found would be compiling it myself, which I find a much worse experience than compiling Chromium myself (neither o

I think the term “system programming” is not sharply defined. I consider e.g. torch and CUDA more towards it as it requires knowledge and understanding of hardware and resources and they are rather providing an interface for the next layer

I haven’t checked the website or who is behind it, I came to the same conclusion that donations to WMF do not actually benefit the operation of that website a couple years ago and stopped all my donations. I feel it is dishonest to request

Check out this deep learning stuff people talk about. Torch is written in C++ using plenty CUDA (which is arguably a dialect of C++), and deals with all the resource management and hardware interfacing. People use python then interfacing wi

does this include vectorized code? I stopped using LUTs for anything “trivial” probably 20 years ago because I rarely see any improvements (in particular where it would benefit the overall runtime noticeably).

That’s why I was asking. I’ve got this number from a German article on the court ruling. I do not know if this is in fact the number specified in the ruling, or whether this was a “leak”, or “misinformation”. So I was hoping somebody could
