Alright, even with ECC and much faster DDR4 ram: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct16g4rfd4213 and motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157...

I guess it depends on the requirements a lot. Are you guys set on using ECC RAM and microATX mobo? It would be much cheaper to use some sort of gaming cpu + DDR4 non-ecc RAM. For example, microatx mobo: http://www.newegg.com&#x2

Wow, all the components are crazy overpriced. You can get the same system built for probably 1/3 the price with the same level of quality. Example is the motherboard for $500+, the fans for $20 each, on off switch for $25, 8gb of DDR3

Depends on the person. Basically, to be good at both is a lot harder than writing a web app. A lot of bioinformatics is implementing elaborate algorithms in a memory efficient way. Things like - approximate string search using modified suff

Ok, it's not that simple: http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/closuresleak/index3.... The last example is a good demonstration that. Sure, at the end of the day it's all about not cleaning the refere

Biotech also pays a lot less. If you look at current jobs such as "bioinformatics programmer", the salaries are somewhere between a biologist and a software engineer even though it requires more knowledge than either. Remember, b

Very easy to have all kinds of memory leaks right now for one. It is really a combination of Javascript and the DOM. Unpleasant to use is definitely a big thing too. If it was easy and pleasant, nobody would complain.

I think cryptolocker actually decrypted the FS after the ransom was paid. So sometimes it works. Actually, it makes no sense to not follow through because that is their business model.

Ok just tried it and it's not great for all occasions. Ex. i have a dir with 2 million files with an avg size of about 3 kilobytes. ls -f /data/ | wc -l 2183060 So I try to find a pattern: time find "

Yeah, there are some breaking changes and incompatibilities with vanilla vim... For me the first one was that the plugin folder and the .vimrc file locations changed.. Comes from here: https://github.com/ZyX-I/neovim&#x

Sure, but my point is that it's not a relevant comparison. A relevant comparison is counting words or something like that. Things people don't have an easy way to do much faster.

That's why you don't use pure python for this. Here is your test done using numpy import numpy as np %timeit sum(np.sum(np.random.randint(0, 10000000, 5000)) for i in range(5000)) 1 loops, best of 3: 586 ms per loop

Devs are already aware of PyPy. If it was as easy as being aware, everyone would switch tomorrow. The problem is that tons of code uses C extensions created with swig or python boost and those take a lot of time to port to PyPy. Another pr

Numpy is way faster than what you would get if you implementing things in pure Python and executed with PyPy. That's why there is numpypy in the first place.

Elastic Search is a wonderful db for storing all sorts of text data. Having said that, I wonder if there are any plans to make querying more succinct in the future. Right now you have to write 20+ lines of unintuitive code to make a relativ

I think it would be useful if the companies buying the TLDs were not allowed to buy more than 100 or so of 2nd level domains within that TLD and forced the price to be something non-trivial like $30. Then owning all the 2nd level domains wo

More friends, but then the likes are not uniformly distributed with the increase of friends. Also more pictures means the "best picture" could be more of an outlier. So best pictures might rise further above baseline for that per

I thought cutting off forehead happens when the target is closer to the camera, so it is more personal.

It's much slower because you are checking the first character in all zeros string, but checking multiple characters in the case that the first ones match using Boyer-Moore.

by lqdc13 11y ago
Edit: There was a bug. No it's actually slower when the locale is set to C. I have 4434 files with about 100 words of text in them. here is python func that searches utf8: def find_sp(paths): for path in paths:

by lqdc13 11y ago
The grep one is tricky. If no characters match, it's fast. But if some match, and if it is ignoring case, it's much slower. It's actually faster to read the whole file into memory, lowercase it and check with python for inde

This seems so strange.. They seem to be going about it from the opposite direction (starting with bits) than I would go into it. I think the simplest method (IMO) is to pick a dictionary of 100k common but not too common 3+ char words that

Yup, then someone would implement in C. Then in a few months you'll have it in every popular language and many libraries. People underestimate how much a reference implementation contributes to the real world proliferation of an algori

The demo should really be 128 thousand elements or 128 million. 128 elements is still useful for when you have an inner loop that has a small vector operation. Most of the time this is not the case though.

I think it is just how the .zip format works, not just the WinZip program. It's very easy to get around that though by double zipping.

well.. extracting links etc is super fast with lxml's xpath. It is written in C, and I don't think it would be faster if you write your own parser. For example, to extract links from hacker news homepage, you would just do x

Did you try requests_futures lib? It's all about async and network speed with crawling. Not so much cpu.
