Hmm, seems like the linux foundation is a nice retirement home for ex corporate projects that are popular enough that people feel sad seeing them die, but not actually popular enough to live. (See RethinkDB)

What a lot of comments here are missing is that complexifiers can be turned into simplifiers. The key realization is that they are bored by the assigned work and want to do something challenging, not that they want things to be complex per-

I think you have to set expectations based on how much of the ground you're ripping up. If you're adding some layers or some little tweak to an existing architecture, then yeah, going backwards on cifar-10 is a failure. If, howeve

In pure dollars per minute, yes, but the primary benefit being alluded to here is a political one. A small team can use tiny discretionary funds and build a working prototype quickly. The same project is dead in the water if you have to go

These are all examples of tradeoffs that have been made, and just collecting examples of the downsides of those tradeoffs without mentioning the upsides. Touchscreens are objectively worse than dedicated buttons, but the ability to have mor

Luckily, California has very stringent standards around heavy metals. There are lots of brands of collagen that don't require prop65 warnings on the bottle (and that are legally sold in California). California's standards are stri

Collagen supplementation has shown to be really effective in various meta analyses. Helps with joint degradation, tendon repair if you do sports, skin elasticity, etc. This is a representative one focused on joints, but other studies look a

Signing the releases isn't in the videos you make right? Institutional knowledge isn't transferred to people on tiktok. They replicate what they see, which is the walking up to people part. All the stuff behind the scenes is only

Seems like an idea worth trying to pencil out on paper to see if the numbers are in the right ballpark. A couple of questions I have: How much carbon could be captured this way, vs other carbon capture methods? How are cornstalks etc dealt

Potentially both. Most compilers have vectorization optimizations if you compile for an architecture that supports it. However, a lot of software is compiled on one machine to be run on potentially many possible architectures, so they targe

I mean, this pretty much describes rust. Its merits speak for themselves, and people who were skeptical of it and try it very quickly find out the language is really well designed and pleasant to use (once you get used to the borrow checker

On the contrary, I think this outside view is a really good look at the forces driving rust adoption beyond developer enthusiasm.

The author has some really good points, and I think anyone building or using a tool like this should be able to take a hard look at what the tool is actually doing for them personally, vs what it seems like it could potentially be useful fo

I've found that the language with the largest refactoring suite for vscode is Rust, not typescript. rust-analyzer has a silly amount of refactors available, (probably because the primary author used to work for Jetbrains). I definitely

Adding to this, there's a set of language features which use the type system to generate code. So, things like traits in Rust or Typeclasses in Haskell use the type system to infer which instance is being used and insert a dictionary o
