4 first primes each at a power of 2... I did not expect that when I first looked.

For a mini-surprise, check the prime factors of 44100.

I tried a few of the servers, the pages load very quickly, search is fast etc. But when I click on the play arrow, a long time elapsed before the video starts. Is this expected? (is this because ads are being skipped in the background)?

I think you're talking about "Boy meets girl" by Leos Carax. I do remember the scene when the hero jumps the metro still by somersaulting over it... (the somersault is in the trailer https://youtu.be/uA-jdQIWG

One good reason for not caring about types: prototype code. I do a lot of prototyping (trying ideas quickly, not for production). I typically do that in python. In that case, I don't think types would be helping me at all, I can get ru

Do you guys know if it's possible to generate self-standing C++ code from Julia code? (i.e., code that you can then compile into another project, and will not require any interpreter to run or anything like that)? And if it's poss

Iperf is really useful to test your own LAN. Didn't know you could use it to test your ISP speed (in some cases)

I have a problem with how we use the word "thinking", usually implying something somewhat magical, or at least something more than the type of computations done in an algorithm or in a DNN. My belief is what we call "thinki

I am as outraged at Boeing's ineptitude as anybody with a rational mind, but I can't read this kind of article without cringing. Sentences like "about two weeks after the system’s unthinkable stupidity drove the two-month-old

I've been boycotting amazon for a long time. Waiting for "democracy" to solve the problems of unabated exploitative capitalism is a cop out. I put my money where my mouth is. I pay more, wait longer, but shop at places where

Completely agree. Convincing someone to feel/not feel is a senseless endeavor!

You're absolutely right: you don't necessarily need to be within 10% of pure C++ if algo development is made far easier by using python/numpy. But it would be good to have a hand-written C++ baseline to determine where the co

That's a fair point and I have to admit I didn't have the time/courage to port the entire algo to C++. But I can see why that would make the results a lot more convincing.

For me, the biggest shortcoming: Cython does not create independent C++ code (independent of the python interpreter that is) that can be used in a separate C++ code base. My main point is that pythran makes it possible to deploy python&#x2F
