Australia is selling 35% of the worlds coal. He is in the mining corporations pocket. This is why they are shutting down much of the funding into alternatives. Even parts which are already making money, or saving money. Not including res

So to speed up a request, the author wants to introduce a whole message queue, and rewrite it in another language. This seems like a big maintenance burden to me. Could the request be changed to use a faster message format instead of YAML?

I worked on a runtime assembler based on C++ that worked like this. The nice thing is you could dynamically generate code from C++. Which made hardware shader languages run at an acceptable speed on CPUs. Because rather than have branches

Contacting those drivers is as easy as using Uber to book a cab. That is how some countries are fining them, and their drivers for breaking laws.

There are already freemium car sharing apps/websites doing quite well already. They are already winning in some markets. There's plenty that have been going for longer than Uber too. But Uber has the cash. So you keep hearing a

For the experience building it mainly I guess. The author also mentions machine learning and image processing. Doing multiple different tasks at once. Which I think is possible with the latest CUDA and Nvidia gear though. It has 8 FPGAs

This is not a good study. They are a couple of anecdotes, for all we know cherry picked to promote the views of rich people trying to make more money off poor people. Also, I'm not sure a cleaning lady, and a waitress are even qualifi

Since most VRAM data is quite large, this seems like a pretty nice optimization. Lots of images are multiple megabytes, or 100s of KB at least.

The next RHEL is going python 3 though I think? Fedora has done nicely over the last couple of years packaging everything for python 3 as well. A dozen or so packages left to do, but they are going well. Ubuntu, Debian, and Gnome have al

A lot of the goodies from 3.3 were back ported into python 2.7, to ease portability. Python 3.4 makes it more backwards compatible still (whilst staying elegant). However, now there are also some new features that are not getting back por

Twisted is mostly ported, and you can install via pip and pypi. Some of the more ancient parts remain to be finished however. gevent is ported, but not in an official release. There is a mysql alternative module. mechanize is ported, but n

Currently python 3 packages ported are at about 10.9% according to pypi. This isn't including separate source downloads, so I guess the number would be higher by a few percentage points. There was a post by Alex Gaynor in January [0]
