Spark is sort of dead though. Dask looks to be the way of the future. In part because doesn't take a zillion parameters to tune and consume a bucket of resources just for overheads. Good luck.

I feel like you guys need to create some additional engineering-level documentation to convey all this. The landing page and few links I navigated to were all too fluffy.

Long term surface book user. Can confirm the hinge becomes absolute trash after a while, and MS will wash their hands of you after the warranty period. Doing anything to the lid will cause the PCIE bus to disconnect and freak the laptop out

Just FYI since you've done it twice and might want to know, it's not mute point. It's moot point.

Is it just me or is Apple starting to fall woefully behind non-mac hardware competitors in both price and perf? I used to look forward to these announcements, now it's just 'we upgraded to a +1 generation config (still 1-2 generat

Death stranding is the only game I ever preordered, anything made by Kojima got a free pass from me - until then. After a couple of hours it becomes really clear that Kojima spent ALL of his time on the plot and directing the cutscenes, and

How you read them is irrelevant. What's relevant is that hundreds of thousands of people read the first one, took it at face value, and decided that the coronavirus is not a threat. The WHO definitely misled people with that first one,

Maybe enough to fool you . It's pretty easy to tell if someone knows a topic or not by just asking increasingly more specific technical questions to follow up on their answers.

The broader question though is how does your offering compare to Clickhouse?

In a vacuum yes. In the world of academia and its perverse incentives, no. Publishing something that goes against the grain means a lot more scrutiny on your work and bigger humiliation for any mistakes made. If you're publishing again

This feeds back into OP's point - the costs are loony. There's maybe 8k worth of materials and labour to double glaze a house (and that's still on the really high end), not 80. If the average Armenian can afford it, there&#x

Americans and Australians still haven't learned about double glazing. Definitely one of the more 'wtf' moments when I moved.

That's not true due to hardware fragmentation and dynamic clocks anymore though. Which was the point that the root comment raised. Even first party titles sag to 20fps, and the settings screen of a modern console game contains more and

You can build a gaming PC in the same form factor as the new xbox using nothing but off the shelf components and have a separate device that can play a larger gamut of games on higher settings. I'm not sure how anyone can dispute that

Fun fact: there exists a chiral mirror of sugar called L-sucrose which tastes and cooks exactly like sugar but is not bioavailable. It's the ultimate 0 calorie sugar. The only issue is it costs like 200 bucks a gram to produce.

The united states is going to fare a lot worse. Their president is actively contradicting his own experts and essentially encouraging people to go on spreading the disease. It's going to be a clusterfuck.

Flu multipliers are the most effective way to convey the risk of this disease to simple-minded people who dismiss it as 'just the flu'. In a more technical context, I would entirely agree with you and not use such figures.

Patients only get retested after they appear to have recovered. That means their symptoms have subsided. You can get super pedantic with semantics and call it a false negative, which might be technically true if the virus subsides but has t
