Around 11 years ago, there was a South African startup called Waytag [0] [1]. It was started by some business consultant guys, who I assumed didn't understand the lack of novelty in their idea (from a patent perspective). Their idea wa

How loud does a computer fan get when running at 100% fan, with a high pitch almost like a drill, in your experience? I've just tested with a sound meter app on my phone; granted this isn't the most accurate way of doing it. Silen

It's a fair question to ask. I have tinnitus at ~30 because of loud poor-thermal expensive work laptops. My work Dell's fan gets really loud, to the point where I can't bear sitting next to it. I got desperate as they couldn&

As someone who owns the M1 MBA, the 8GB unified memory thing isn't working. It can work for bloggers who only need to have some light tasks open, but once you install and use Docker, you start hitting the swap. Just in the last ~24 hou

No, the high electricity cost in my country + the noise pollution in the house + how much I generally earn from the machine + my views on burning the world speculatively, discourage me from mining crypto. Perhaps my position might change in

I have a RTX 2070 that's under-utilised, partly because I'm surprisingly finding it hard to understand C, C++ and CUDA by extension. I'm self-taught, and have been using web languages and some python, before learning Rust. I

The cell grouping is interesting. A colleague likes the outdoors, so he's preordered one for his Suzuki Jimny, to mount on it. I wonder if Starlink are considering this use case. I haven't been able to preorder mine, because we&#x

Yes, by 2-3 years, as its first release was in 2012, and Arrow was still a concept around 2013 (you can see what Wes was talking about during the talks he gave then).

S/he apparently hasn't posted because of possible investigations. If posting daily is perceived as influencing investors, then an investigator looking for someone to blame, would go after such a person.

I'm assuming that if/when more organisations join, the Language Committe can be extended. The balance might still work out in the short-term, as the Language Committe's scope is narrower [0]. This makes sense as the LC seems

Might depend on the level of embarrassment. Interesting that they did this with Julia, with 83% of instructions being AVX-512 (if I'm reading it correctly). Does anyone know if Julia's GPU capabilities could have been leveraged on

You're right, I apologise as I missed that. The back-story here is that there was a draft policy that got leaked, and there was outrage about it. Given that it wasn't published yet, gov was able to retract it, and say that the dra

How parallel do the tests run? The Threadrippers have massive number of cores, but their per-core performance is lower than say a Ryzen 9.

The term likely predates the Rust implementation. SerDe is Serializer & Deserializer, which could be any framework or tool that allows the serialization and deserialization of data. I first came across the concept in Apache Hive.

Arrow 3.0 will be released likely in the next week. The Rust implementation has a lot of changes because we've had to make public-facing changes, mostly for performance benefits.

The argument works, but is too simplistic as other comments mention, and only looks at an ideal-state. It's unfortunate that politicians are often responsible for making this decision, because most of the time they fail to understand t
