It doesn't require any Java but the docs do at times sort of assume you understand the JVM to some extent - which was a bit frustrating when first learning the language. It'll use terms like "classpath" without explainin

If you have a program that looks at CCTV footage and IDs animals that go by.. is a human supposed to validate every single output? How about if it's thousands of hours of footage? I think parent comment is right. It's just a plati

maybe the issue boils down to overloading the term "multiplication". If mathematicians instead invented a new word here, people would get tripped up less (similarly for 'dot' and 'cross' "products") i

sure, google is trying to cash in. not saying theyre nice people. but the handwringing over semantics and suggesting Google has a master plan to abuse vocabular just sounds ridiculous

Doesn't feel like any conspiracy.. Isn't sideloading installing through adb instead of from the system itself? (by clicking on an APK or using an app Store like Xiaomi/Googled/Huawei/Fdroid) "Side" being..

that only works if you have a simple app that displays some stuff from a server. if you want to do something actually requires some compute, then suddenly this doesnt work so great ex: youre prolly not going to want to edit images in JS

Yeah the complexity of NetCDF was the ick factor that made me use GeoTIFF. It's just not the level of complexity I wanted to deal with in-program. I didn't want to wade through the details to understand the format, and I didn&#x27

I'm not super knowledgeable about this stuff.. but out of curiosity, what advantage does it have over NetCDF? I wrote a program processing GeoTIFF data. When I had started this project I chose GeoTIFF mostly b/c i wanted something

Big picture, why does everyone scrape the web? Why doesn't one company do it and then resell the data? Is it a legal/liability issue? If you scrape it's a legal grey area, but if you sell what you scrap it's clearly copy

I feel with Valgrind (in C++land) or VisualVM (JVMland) stuff like this is very easy to zero in on. I don't work in JS-land.. but are Electron apps difficult to do performance profiling on?

Kubuntu LTS definitely didnt have it by default. And there are no system settings exposing it (or ZRAM)

im trying to get up to speed on this whole area. on a high level how is this different from any other triple-store system? is the difference in the resolver syntax? and a few followup questions - does the runner parallelize resolvers? edit:

by geokon 1y ago
My understanding was that if you're doing random access - ZRAM has near-zero overhead. While data is being fetched from RAM, you have enough cycles to decompress blocks. Would love to be corrected if I'm wrong

Do you have any insight in to why this isn't included by default in distros like Ubuntu. It's kind of bewildering that the default behavior on Ubuntu is to just lock up the whole system on OOM

An interesting take. In the abstract it probably makes sense. You can't make a large org like Instagram start doing a Twitter or something like that.. Though I read the subtext to be talking about code > By the time the architecture

by geokon 1y ago
I think you're mixing things up. People don't need to have the same language at all. Compression can happen by "users" at a higher level when interacting with the data model. The data model itself does not need to encod

The examples are great but .. I think.. the conclusion is naiive/wrong in a lot of cases. Aren't both right and left sides of most examples fundamentally different views of the same exact underlying data/relationships? If you

I feel there is a balance to strike with rushing to a demo. .. (maybe it's an implicit tension between the satisfaction of finishing a component and getting a demo) I think this is where the choice of language makes a big difference. I
