Ghost needs the developer momentum that WP and other PHP frameworks got. I last used it in 1. , and picked it up 2 weeks ago when I found myself needing a headless CMS. I got a sense from the new features since 1. that it's moving tow

I'll try what you're suggesting. To give you a feel, one evening in the office when I turned off my laptop; colleagues stood up and asked what loud noise just turned off. From that day, we noticed that our laptops were loud becaus

My work company (global company with offices in every region) uses them. An oldish version of the thing, likely mandated by head office in the US (I'm in Africa). The antivirus routinely uses 100% of the CPU for hours in a day. Our mac

Interestingly, that's how the monetary system flows. I give you 1'000, you keep giving it to other people, eventually back to me. if no reserve limit [1] is placed, we could end up with millions from that 1'000. [1] https:&#

I think after a while writing the language, you're able to reason about your object memory with little friction from the compiler. On the Rust-written projects that I work on, I rarely have significant compiler errors that impede on my

This isn't really newsworthy, but I'm bringing it up because I'm very concerned about ethics in pricing when dealing with non-technical clients. Context: one of the poorest provinces/states in the country is spending mon

This is a good idea, we tend to focus a lot on consumption (e.g. Audible), but something to help focus on production of content would benefit people.

In Ubuntu Studio's context, one would expect the typical user to have decent RAM as it caters for multimedia which needs a lot of RAM. Ubuntu's minimum requirements for desktop users is 4GB RAM. I presume that an extra 50MB is acc

The primitive type inference is helpful, especially given the number of `val as i32` conversions that one might encounter when doing arithmetic from different crates. It however feels "magical", so I'm not sure of how I feel

This is usually the problem, especially with Java architects. The many that I've encountered are often using dated methodologies/tooling that have been eclipsed by something else. The challenge is often keeping up with what's

I'm saying this lightly, but in some cases malware starts with boxes where nothing in them are worth anything at all, where CPU speed and an Internet connection are tools for botnets.

In hindsight, I wonder if using Swift would seem like a good idea in retrospect. AFAIK NVIDIA has dropped CUDA support on Mac, and outside Mac and a bit of Linux; how much support does Swift have? Even though the article talks about the &qu

Out of interest, what are the common tasks that you'd be looking to achieve? We can't replace Pandas and its ecosystem in the short-term, so for me a Rust-backed backend to a dataframe that is compatible with Pandas would be a win

by nevi-me 7y ago
Yes, that's the approach that I'm taking with the library, but with a simple execution flow. One of the things that used to bite me a lot with Pandas was having to manually free memory from intermediate dataframes that I would cr

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking that Update 2 would be in the form of examples of what can currently be done. I'll also add that to the README

Apache Spark has a great 'lazy' story, and I recommend it as a compute supplement for pandas and numpy. I'm always fascinated by the lengths the authors go through to optimise queries, from the cluster to one's machine.

it has to be done at some point. I still have vcpkg on my Windows machine, because I needed to install it and a few GB of other things, just to use PostgreSQL in Rust a few years ago (I think Diesel). If someone hadn't implemented the

Yes, the former. I haven't seen xarray before, it seems interesting (still reading up on it). The ecosystem around Pandas is amazingly enormous :)

TL:DR; I've been writing a Rust dataframe library for a while (on and off when I have time). This is my first update, to motivate why I'm writing it.

You address this by only linking accounts once a user has successfully signed in with another provider. That way if their email exists from another provider, you're more certain that it's the same account

This is interesting, but I have a serious question to ask; Does it work on black people's faces? I can have a hand on my face but it would still predict otherwise, it seems like I have to go out of my way to obstruct my face for it to

Why would they need a quick PR response when this was disclosed months ago already? Wouldn't they have put in time to verify in that period, add me as this was disclosed responsibly?

The risk was worth it, node was stuck (in 0.12), and it was the whole thing, not "one of the things that you use to run JS on the server". A fork of actix wouldn't enjoy the same conditions that existed with Node. Does the fo

Counter: what about the tension and potential community split when a fork starts getting popular? I was there (as a user who closely followed development) during the nodejs > io.js split. While it worked out in the end, it felt like a bi
