But think of the competitive advantage you can gain from doing your app natively. If they really are so slow then you’re in the money.

Except that they don’t need to consume 1gb+ and they don’t need to feel sluggish. We’re also not talking about replacing every native app with electron.

Because it holds back innovations, which is what we’re talking about.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect modern software to perform on hardware that’s 5+ years old. The standard ram for midrange laptops now is what, 8gb? At some point you just have to upgrade.

That’s interesting. Is there something specific to arch that allows this? It would definitely help to alleviate people’s concerns about electron if this could be replicated on other platforms.

> But this is such poor logic. No, it’s not. It’s at most a trade-off. Some developers will doubtless make this their hill to die on, but I suspect it really has nothing to do with performance or battery life, and it’s likely motivated b

The performance really isn’t that bad at all in my experience. The complaints you see are developer complaints , where they’re talking about resource usage that ordinary users would never notice or question, or UI lag that most users would

Is there a reason it’s not done as a runtime, i.e. have a single, electron-modified, backwards compatible install of chromium which all the electron apps run on? Then ship each app with the installer for that electron-chromium which gets in

Good to hear! Other than that I'm enthusiastic about the development of ML.NET, I'll definitely be getting a lot of value out of it moving forward.

I'm guessing you're from microsoft. The message that you seem to be getting here is that when people first see ML.NET they think Tensorflow, including being able to train it. They take a look around your examples looking for train
105.
by jf- 8y ago
Can you confirm whether or not you can train tensorflow with this? Your example on github has a pre-trained model. Easy integration of pre-trained models is great, but it should state up-front whether you can use it to build and train one.

Seconded. Parallels has some nice features, like being able to run windows apps in OSX, but it's noticeably slower than booting directly into windows. Plus parallels lets you run your bootcamp partition from OSX if you need to.

I think it’s more of a misleading title, combined with the usual meandering style that philosophers have. What he’s basically saying is that we consciously experience the outputs of a number of expert systems: those responsible for seeing,

Well it's not a drug, and I assume that they're using previously approved medical devices to apply it. It seems to me to be more like a new surgical technique. In that case it may just be a matter of finding a physician willing to

It’s moving to a phase I trial, that means it’s just being tested for tolerability and adverse effects. A firm conclusion about outcome won’t be available until a phase III trial is completed, that’s years down the line. So we don’t know, b

This is mostly shallow advice masquerading as deep advice by disparaging “shallow” frameworks. The main thrust of the article seems to be “learn design patterns” plus a list of books. That’s a fairly thin amount of information for an entire

That seems to be one of the findings of the paper- the new neutrons were self-organising, in that they could find the right kind of other neutrons to attach to. How far that self-organisation would extend is an open question however.

I didn’t downvote you, but I believe the response is that this isn’t so much the framework’s fault as the developer’s. There’s no reason that you must have a slow, huge web app regardless of what you use. That said, I do see current front

It’s not faster, but it does improve code quality. I also don’t think it’s that hard to learn, but I’m coming from a strongly typed, object orientated background. Like the sibling commenter I’d also be interested in hearing your team’s e
