What is the license of the data from the German weather service you are repackaging? Would that conflict with your ToS?

Cool, now you've found a real use for smart home lighting system.

That SO performance benchmark would be so much more useful if the OP had also run OpenBlas on the xeon.

When I went to a local Apple Store to replace the battery of my iPhone 6, they asked me to disable Find My iPhone and explicitly told me to do a factory reset. I thought that was a good standard procedure, as I already did a reset though d

Yeah, for those of you who like the simplicity, get a french press and a grinder. Grind the beans while you boil the water. Put both in the french press and wait for 5 minutes and you are done. In summer, use filtered water and let it sit

> if you use a 32-bit random number generator, you only reach about 4 x 10^9 of the 8 x 10^67 different ways I suggest you reread your linked article. The fault is in using a 32-bit SEED . Random shuffling algorithms are trivial and we

I guess that is because particles in the accelerator are not alive, so you can accelerate anyway you want. Do you really want to round up a group of seniors and gives them different doses of alcohol and see how much you can accelerate thei

If you want to look at the JIT overhead, for the benchmark stone and Richards, multiply the first number by ten and subtract the second number. And you can do it in your head, CPython is the fastest if you only going to launch the interpre

Think of it as a 3D sphere instead. You would get a shielding effect.

Now we have a legitimate use case for the Y combinator. What's next? A full implementation of scheme? Common lisp?

Switch to Safari to surf the net, and come back to ubuntu.app ... ooooh, it got killed in the background!

Ha, you beat me to it. Though you quote it wrong. That was the whole sentence in the G.E.B.. Without the quotes.

That would be a lisp machine running on a simulator that itself is the game.

GJS has a new book! I really hope this would be more doable in R7RS instead of MITScheme only (classical mechanics and differential geometry uses scmutils that only runs on MITScheme).

For a typical HPC cluster, there is a shared filesystem with exactly the same file structures across the cluster over a high bandwidth network, which basically replaces "a clever use of fuse/sshfs and chroots" with something

Stability. I don't have to chase the "next shinny thingamajig". For example, I have a code that uses OSS that worked 20 years ago on FreeBSD, and it still works now.

I'll believe it when I see the performance.

That's an unfortunate result of backward compatibility. If it were Python, it would just become v2 and tell people to suck it up.

As computers and networks evolve and improve, a lot more things would get involved and it is going to be hard to tell how long any operation is going to take. Operating on an assumption of always instant feed back does not scale. Ordering

As long as the size argument is initialized as sizeof(struct ...), it is totally fine, isn't it?

If I were one of those teenagers, I would have felt offended just by these remarks alone. It looks like a fact that at least some of the teenagers in that group complained, and NYT handled their complaints professionally then. However, whe

I never measured indoor CO2 level, but yours approaching 1400 ppm seems to be alarmingly high. I thought any level above 1000 ppm requires some intervention.

Python had their smearing campaign claiming TIOOWTDI against Perl's TIMTOWTDI, and dubious claim's of sigils (`@$`) hurt readability. But once Python had the ecosystem going, it brought back `@`, `{}`, numerous `_`, fanciful `:=`
