This site even has a disclaimer on the front page that its information is not necessarily accurate. Take it all with a grain of salt.

it’s just another of the many many comments in this thread where people throw out statistics to make a point, but those statistics are typically detached from reality or not even focused on the main topic of the conversation.

I mean literally half the people I know under the age of 25 have iPhones in my country. How can it be a status symbol when it’s the default phone for most people?
274.
by jb1991 1y ago
There sure are a lot of comments in this thread pulling out all sorts of random and arbitrary statistics that have no connection with what is actually being discussed here. I’m finding that very strange, frankly.

Is it a status symbol when more than half of the people in all the cities around you in your country have an iPhone?

Writing cross-platform code between CPU and GPU, a very common occurrence, is certainly one reason to use C++.

The example you mentioned here suffers from a design program, not a language problem.

Which individual are you referring to?
279.
by jb1991 1y ago
I have to disagree, I find the language quite elegant if you primarily use modern features. It continues to improve with every new standardization. The old style of writing C++ should indeed die.

It's a worldwide problem, first reported in Australia.

You are saying, from the perspective of light, whether it travels 1 mile or a trillion miles, that journey takes the same amount of time?

I get the impression that most of the comments in this thread don't understand what a GPU kernel is. These high-level languages like Python and Julia are not running on the kernel, they are calling into other kernels usually written in

by jb1991 1y ago
Isn't Mojo designed for writing kernels? That's what it says at the top of the article: > write state of the art kernels Julia and Python are high-level languages that call other languages where the kernels exist.

by jb1991 1y ago
It says at the top: > write state of the art kernels Mojo seems to be competing with C++ for writing kernels. PyTorch and Julia are high-level languages where you don't write the kernels.

This is an extremely smart acquisition by Apple, very nice to see.

Ask anyone in the army how all those years of running drills have affected them as they got older. It’s not so rosy. Lots of knee problems in that group. Above average practice of running throughout life also increases likelihood of requir

One of the things that is particularly strange about traveling to the United States is that you pretty much have no choice but to rent a car or at least have access to a car in some way, unless you’re going to be spending all your time in a

OK, I’ll bite. What reason would there be to paint every bird orange?

Isn’t using something like the Google closure compiler considered a good thing? This post seems to suggest tools like that in your pipeline should be avoided.

I’m not sure where you live but this is a rather strange perspective. Apple is a lifestyle company? I think for every person I know that has an android phone, there are three or four with iPhones, where I live. Doesn’t make a very convincin

by jb1991 1y ago
I am certainly not surprised that Apple is employing a lot of legal tricky to work around judgments. But what does surprise me is that there’s a very common attitude in forums that somehow Apple is the only company doing this, or they’re do

Just wait until those people from the 1980s see what was coming in just a few decades.

I'm starting to think the person you are responding to is trolling everyone here, unfortunately.

Phrases like "get serious" don’t contribute meaningfully to the discussion. This is a serious topic and deserves a well-informed, balanced perspective. Recommending that people take over 2 grams of vitamin C daily -- without con

There are a large number of studies on this topic, in part because vitamin C supplements are so widely used and easily accessible. Several people have already shared relevant research in this thread. Before promoting high-dose supplementati

Are you serious? Prolonged high supplementation doses is actually very dangerous. Aside from the warnings about this in various places, I’ve also had a family member who did permanent kidney damage by prolonged usage of supplementation.

Please do not spread misinformation here. It can be misleading at best, dangerous at worst.
