Yeah, those two. There are some Latvian ones as well. What are some of the issues you've ran into with them? Genuinely curious.

Why not just get two dedicated servers and have one be used as a backup? For $60/mo you can get 4Tb space free, basically unlimited bandwidth and a permanent 4XL-equivalent instance that makes scaling up to that point extremely easy wi

There are usually issues in compatibility between linux zip utility and the mac one. Has to do with zip not being backward compatible. How does atool deal with cases where there are two versions of the same extractor?

Python has MPI4PY and Multiprocessing. Not sure why you need threads in the first place. Also, many matrix operations autoscale to all cores when compiled against Atlas. Finally, you can release the GIL with Cython: http://docs.

cProfile takes a while to learn how to use well. What didn't you like about line_profiler? Here's a good guide on how to write fast(ish) code in Python: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSpeed/Performan

Very resouce hungry though which translates to poor battery life. One such image on every web page and you would only be able to browse the web for an hour a day.

I actually think people end up thinking more about it. Sometimes you have several "devops" people in a small team dealing with orchestrating these "serverless" deployments so as to reduce latency etc.

You might be right. I just went to one comparison site: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/amd-radeon-r9-390x-review/1...

Solution that works for me is to add the ppa from this page: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Everything else requires having to turn off lightdm service or having to ssh to the mac

I'm not sure what applications you're talking about when you say they get crushed by Nvidia. AMD has faster integer operations so they're much better for hashing operations like bitcoin mining and password cracking. Nvidia is

Not sure about 2GB limit though. It doesn't work well at low RAM. Probably better to just use your own suffix tree or some trie for all the stuff you want to search for and use that. I bet you can get it down to something like 100MB.

Wow! That's a lot of code! I'm always surprised how nytimes comes up with these sometimes for a single story.

Sure, but why did you enable the -R flag? We are talking about the default way of doing things in the most commonly by far used implementation. I'm not saying someone should have relied on the specific ordering or that the code that do

I don't have a reference, but bytearray concatenation with some more bytes is amortized O(1) w.r.t. original bytearray size, but for bytes it is O(n) where n is the length of the byte string, because bytes are immutable and they are co

async lib is really really nice. You can easily issue async requests now. Also, a bunch of useful utilities were improved like shutil.

Ok, try running this in a program like so: d = {chr(i):i for i in range(65,91)} print(d) Do it with python2 and python3. You'll see that the output in python3 changes every time. If someone was relying on consistent orderi

I think a bigger issue with keys() is that now the order is non-deterministic. So people may have relied on it not being in any particular order but being the same order. These are the kinds of bugs that are difficult to detect.
381.
by lqdc13 11y ago
I think it has more to do with that people using Python3 want to write good looking code, and the people still using Python2 are more interested in getting something running quickly and therefore tend to produce hackish code.
382.
by lqdc13 11y ago
The traps are not always well known (to me). For example, I just discovered a few days ago while porting a Python2 library that byte concatenation is an O(N^2) procedure in Python3 while it is an O(N) procedure in Python2. So you have to us

Pretty sure nobody did a study with a specific number of LoC for best understanding, because it probably depends on a lot of things. But quick understanding is a function of consistent style and a small number of things to keep in mind requ

of course. There are also other differences. Actually, I have no idea why it even matters unless you are specifically exploiting curl. And they are not in this case. You can redirect wget output to stdout too...
386.
by lqdc13 11y ago
no but if you change the user agent of the wget to the same one the curl uses, it would be much harder to figure out the differences.

So let's pretend we have a language ABC that is based on standards. It has one implementation and one standard library and the code can only be compiled with one compiler. If the standard library's string functions are slow, can y

I would have to find the exact example, but I tried counting words etc. Specifically, using the new built in abstractions is slower than not using the abstractions. For example, unordered_map was pretty slow. I just checked again though and

I tried using new C++14 features, but the performance was terrible. Even compared to scripting languages. The problem is that you have to now performance profile every single feature and know all the gotchas.

I very much dislike presentations that keep the slide history in the browser history. Now, to go back to the original page you were on before you went to the site, you have to search through your history or click 100x times on the back butt
