Here's the relevant bit from the overview: Programmable logic circuits are presented as hardware libraries called overlays. These overlays are analogous to software libraries. A software engineer can select the overlay that best ma

Something in my server's configuration eats more and more memory, until the OOM killer decides that killing the MySQL database looks like a dandy way to reclaim memory.

At first I found this fascinating -- "data shows that CEOs marry assistants" is a good narrative about gender attitudes towards marrying. But as I played with it, I was kind of bummed to learn: most male professions tend to marry

If what you say is true, then with better economies of scale and longer investment horizons, utilities would quickly erase any peak-vs-non-peak arbitrage opportunities.

At least for Python, there are a different set of goals for programmer-productivity type hints (such as these) and for static-compilation type hints (such as you would need to provide optimizations). One particular point is Python subclasse

The finger-pointing at BGP is red herring: the problem is that the stratum protocol has zero authentication. If you can intercept those streams, you can trivially ask anyone to start mining for you instead. This could also have been done

It's mostly a question of manpower and the fact that Dropbox is still on Python 2.7 internally. If we can get more people on the team, we'd love to add support for Python 3.

Definitely true; there are some overheads that could be low-hanging fruit to optimize, but the real solution is most likely to use a tiered-compilation system. ie only invoke the full LLVM code generator once a function has been called 10,

I can't speak to the non-technical reasons mentioned in the post, but there's good reason to believe that LLVM is in a very different state than the time that Reid wrote this, particularly wrt JIT support: the JIT engine has been

It seems like there are a couple topics that come up when talking to people about switching to PyPy: - performance or memory usage on larger programs - C extension module support I'm not going to promise that we will do a better job at

"If a set of values were truly random, each leading digit would appear about 11% of the time" This kind of mathematically unsophisticated reasoning is exactly why Benford's law is so surprising to people. If you think of what it means for

Based on my experiences with the CR-48 (which I used extensively for a few months), I have to suggest that you not get one of these laptops. Basically, ChromeOS is great, but using Atom processors is simply unacceptable for the tasks that

This is an unfortunate case of people adopting technical terms for PR purposes. When we (FOS) say "OS", we mean that when you write a program for FOS, you think about it as if you are writing it for a single computer. It doesn't matter if

I think there's some confusion about this project, since the article doesn't go into to much detail about what it actually is, apart from some high-level technical highlights. My understanding (which is potentially outdated) is that Angstr

The problem is that parallelism, and performance at this level in general, is not the kind of problem that you can solve by adding additional layers of abstraction. I can only speak to FOS, and not the other projects, but the idea behind i
