Really, you call this "reasonable SIMD" access: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.numerics(v=v... ? For comparison get a load of Apple Accelerate: https://developer.apple.com&#x2

C# maybe. But C# is not suitable for what I do (fast deep learning on video, images, and audio). Any kind of managed language is hostile to those kinds of things and just plain not designed for them. I want to drop down to SIMD intrinsics a

Having actually used UWP SDK for C++ fairly recently, I was left with the impression that it's a complete non-starter for most folks. It assumes too much skill on the part of the developer (i.e. "everything is asynchronous"),

I'm not even talking about the article per se. I'm more taken aback by people here saying that if after 10 years of marriage, with career and kids to contend with, you're not having sex every day you're somehow a failure

As someone in late 30's, I look at this thread and shake my head. Folks, you can't apply your own stereotypes to everyone's situation. What's a "healthy" relationship to some is completely unsustainable for oth

And the beauty of this is, launching these Iridium satellites is just a beta test for what they're going to do next: launch _four thousand_ of their own satellites which will blanket the planet with gigabit broadband.

250k is way too low a threshold. I'd put it at at least a million, if not more. But hey, it'll all be repealed shortly anyway, so who cares.

The game has moved from devices to services those devices provide. Having those services costs billions of dollars per year, to both keep up on the data side and to pay a small army of extremely in-demand engineers. And then, unless you&#x2

Nope. There's just no way it can compete against Apple, Google _and_ Samsung, also known as the only three companies that make money on mobile. Andy or no Andy, you just can't enter this market anymore.

A fine example of confirmation bias: ACA aligns with Sam's ideological position, so he hand picks some examples to support it. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that people with preexisting conditions can't be denie

No, those it'll probably still report (although I don't know, Jeff could forbid it: it's his personal blog, he will print what he wants). It'll just stop taking things out of context and manufacturing outrage to generate

If your quality of life is determined solely by walkability, then sure, you'd consider it "high". In the USSR things were walkable out of necessity: not everyone had cars. And besides, if you're building a block of high

Even at Google most people knew this project was stillborn. It's a combination of two factors: no one but a few geeks actually has any need for this, and the overwhelming majority of profits in the industry is taken by a company that b

For anything above Haswell the only things that matter are core count, frequency and whether it has hyperthreading. There haven't been any notable improvements to per-core perf since Haswell.

The only example that I know of in support of vostok's statement are a couple of HFT trading firms in Chicago. If you have the right chops, your comp _starts_ at 500K there, and then quickly goes up to about $1M/yr. But you do nee

Could be. I just couldn't find any such jobs, even after 8 years at Google, which tends to improve one's chances of finding a top paying job.

Outside of a small handful of areas (SV, Seattle, NY, a few others), it's very difficult to find anything in the $300K+ "total package" range. In SV all you have to do is get yourself hired by one of the top firms and then st

Serves me right for not reading the article more carefully. Their proposal is, nevertheless, wrong in its approach to the problem. This can only be solved by putting constraints on the influx and removing constraints on mobility of the peop

The equilibrium will be reached at a much lower price point than in the case of restricted supply of talent. Whole industries restrict the supply of workers for that reason: CPA, lawyers, and dentists being three prime examples. People like

Long time reader, first time poster. Both lawmakers being Califoria democrats, I don't trust this one bit. Hear me out on this one. I have actually experienced the H1B system on my own hide. As others have mentioned in the comments, to
