I see your point, but as they’ve also created the apps under their brand it seems likely the monthly fee would also go towards (hopefully!) the continued improvement of those apps.

Maybe the term paywall isn’t the right one. I’m referring to the premise that you must pay the monthly fee to use the product and whether that is really any more ethical than ad supported products that are free for anyone in the world to us

I find the “ethical” framing around this to be rather problematic. I hate ads and care about my privacy as much as anyone else here. However, the argument that a free ad-supported product X available to anyone in the world with an internet

I agree and this strikes me as odd as well. I really want to like this product and it’s squarely in the area of a service I would pay monthly for. But, the Social app looks exactly like a twitter screen shot, and the VPN looks identical to

The point is that I've noticed a broad "religious" trend where those promoting Rust don't lend any credit to the places where C/C++ has valid strengths, even if due to it's legacy. It doesn't do a great se

The issue with bindings is that you either commit to maintaining them yourself, or you rely on someone else. In this case, the Rust Qt bindings I found [0] were generated for Qt 5.8, which was released nearly 3 years ago. The tests on Githu

I really don't get all the hate that C++ gets. The suggested alternatives in the article are Rust and Swift. What if you need to develop a cross platform GUI, that has a backend running a CUDA or OpenCL algorithm? For the former, you c

The SR-71 flight manual can also be found here [0]. I was surprised to find the plane can be flown solo [1], and with no pressure suit below 50,000 feet [2]. There is also a section on "Tactical Limits" describing scenarios where

I used to do this, but I switched to just using a Jupyter Notebook. It’s nice to be able to move between multiple computers, with no need to set up a LaTeX install. A couple of things I love about this setup: I can write in Markdown and dro

I believe it's no longer the case. The maintainer of Cppyy was cautioning that the Python 3 support was somewhat experimental at the time, but I believe it's officially supported now. Either way, it could have been solved by build

For anyone looking for a more usable version of C++/Python interop, I can't recommend Cppyy[0] highly enough. You can use any C++ code/libraries from Python without the need to write any bindings. I created an example project

I really like the personal homepage idea. Reminds me of the iGoogle days. Anyone know any products / tools to create a simple one consisting of essentially an organized collection of links? I guess any static site generator could work,

American here who just went through this process. I returned to finish my undergrad at one of the most expensive schools, in one of the most expensive cities. I think as others said, many students aren’t doing the ROI calculations. For me,

Hadn't seen this until now. This project looks great. As someone who has mostly used the MSVC environment on Windows, can you comment on how often Cygwin allows for a Linux port to compile and run with no source changes? I read a while

I’ve tried to love it while using it as an interactive shell, but it’s hard for me to lose the Unix muscle memory and remember their verbose commands. For anything more than a single pipe, or anything that requires loops or control flow, I

Great example. PowerShell is definitely underrated. I don’t care to use it as an interactive shell, and that likely turns many off to it, but now that it’s cross platform I think it’s massively underrated for these sorts of tasks.

After moving back to working on a Windows machine the last several years and being “forced” into using PowerShell, I now find myself using it for these sorts of tasks on Linux. I now use PowerShell for any tasks of equal or greater complexi

Are your dotfiles available anywhere? I'd be interested in trying out this setup.

Does the LLVM IR output from the JIT compiler have to then be compiled to CUDA PTX with nvcc? I looked a while back for a JIT compiler for CUDA, but didn't find much.

Can you share the academic work you're referring to? Would be interested to read more.

Interesting. MapD and this project both use Thrust under the hood and from what I gather, both attempting to address the same issue. Can anyone speak to the differences? While I originally didn’t get the case for GPU accelerated databases,

Since it seems the devs are here answering questions: Which lightweight shell will be used on Windows? Does it also bundle standard unix tools (if a script pipes to grep or less for example)? How will paths be translated on Windows? I’ve at

Ah, I hadn't seen that announcement. It looks like this was announced recently (November 2018) and it's still 100Gb/s slower throughput than the latest NVLink. Either way, it could certainly be interesting if they compete on

Maybe for the competitive consumer graphics market, but I don't see them disrupting Nvidia's hold in the HPC world. With Nvidia's NVLink, you can achieve high bandwidth data transfer between graphics cards without having to p

One important distinction could be that these were HTTP requests made on his account page or other. If he logs into the account to update billing, etc that would certainly be logged. All of what is claimed in the statement would be possible

Related: It's an interesting time for C++ tooling in general. Based on conversations with a member of the Visual Studio team, I've come to understand they're responding to increasing competition from CLion. This was the drivi

For anyone interested, here is their official announcement back in April 2018 on the LLVM mailing list about their vision and plans for the clangd updates. As a C++ dev, I'm excited to see this tooling come to fruition. It's going

Can you expand on the QoS setup you’re using? I’ve recently read about the fq_codel addition to Pfsense and wondering if anyone here has been using that. I’m also looking for more performance related tunes as well. To that end, I’ve configu
