Is "parralel" a real word in English? I think the author meant "parallel"? I am asking this because everywhere in the README.md and even the source code itself uses "parralel", so this typo seems to be proposit

Tkinter probably has a similar philosophy, and it is built-in in Python stdblib.

Well, it impacts those people who needs their work, for example for validation of scientific experiments. It doesn't impact the ecosystem very much for sure, however I wouldn't say that the impact is zero.

> Is the author not a Python developer? Well, he's a researcher. I think this is why the situation is bad in Python: we have too many non-programmers in the community, that simply want something to work and get on with theirs life.

Most people wouldn't blind update Windows versions (specially in a working environment), yet you updated your distro in a working environment without looking at release notes and are blaming the developers? Just learn from your mistake

Considering that this is a microkernel, you can reimplement a "small" POSIX compatible interface that POSIX-aware applications may use it. How small this POSIX interface can be depends on how much of POSIX legacy you want to reimp

This is for when you're having issues, quite rare nowadays. Similar things happen on Windows, for example fiddling with drivers to get sound to work or stop popping.

Remember, YouTube born 13 years ago. That time, online code editing and hot reloading were big things only archived with dynamic languages like Python and Ruby.

It seems similar to Vapoursynth: http://www.vapoursynth.com/ AFAIK, Vapoursynth is more powerful thanks to its module system, however the ability to integrate with IPython notebooks of MoviePy seems nice.

Well, there is advantages in Android approach too: as far I remember in App Store there is no emulators thanks to the stricter policies of Apple, while Play Store have genuine emulators for tons of gaming consoles. And you can also sideload

Just as a counter example, LWN.net does have ads for non subscribers (or starving Hacker subscribers, like in my case).

Support, and in this case is not the kind "I can't install Linux on this laptop", but more likely we will fix your hardware issues without trying to question that you installed a non-supported OS. Our company recently bought

Yeah, you can actually do it. Just run desktop in your integrated Intel GPU and CUDA in NVIDIA discrete GPU.

You may have hit some Skylake GPU bugs, mostly of those are fixed in kernels 4.12+.

NixOS does not resolve the problem of updates breaking things unless you don't update your system (same with Arch). It does allow you to rollback in case of problems, however the same is true to Arch if you invest in the proper setup (

The problem with benchmarks is that they don't always represent real world performance. Where I work sometimes we have really big PRs (+-5000 lines of code). In GitHub diff pages, the scrolling in Chrome is really jerky, while the scro

I think OP meant to say that you can disable ME in those CPUs, since they are pre-Skylale silicon.
415.
by m45t3r 9y ago
However, disabling it is not trivial, needing to open your laptop and solding skills, also special equipment to read/write modified firmware.

The point is, this comparison is between a 4 core CPU (Ryzen) vs 2/4 cores CPUs (i3 and i5). Vs i5 the difference is less than 1%, vs i3 the difference is 5%.

I just wanted a comparison between NVIDIA binary drivers and AMD open-source drivers. I know the comparison is old, I even added a footnote explaining this, saying that current performance of open source-drivers is even better.
418.
by m45t3r 9y ago
It depends, open-source driver brings better desktop experience in general, even considering only NVIDIA drivers (nouveau), since you don't need the extra performance in 90% of the cases. Things like KMS is only available in NVIDIA bin

by m45t3r 9y ago
AMD open-source drivers (new GPUs: amdgpu; old GPUs: radeon) is way better than NVIDIA open-source drivers (nouveau) and is competitive with their own closed-source drivers (new GPUs: amggpupro; old GPUs: catalyst), while losing to the NVID

The problem is, this file system slow down really affects the productivity. For example, I have a heavily customized Zsh and Neovim. In Linux, using a SSD and the startup times for both are insignificant. Even on my system with a slow HDD (
