I have been on multiple hiring committees and had insights into plenty of hiring processes at other “top-25” universities. My experience is that it is more complex than simply using prestigious universities, supervisors, and collaborators a

“Linux” indeed… I know for a fact that Absolute OpenBSD, The Book of PF, and Designing BSD Rootkits are great. Tempted to pick up the bundle to read FreeBSD Device Drivers, The Book of GIMP, Absolute FreeBSD, and The Book of Inkscape.

Given my (rough) understanding of Justine’s political leanings (active in Occupy [1]), I think (and hope) that you are mistaken. The following searches turn up empty [2,3] as well. [1]: https://www.thenation.com/article&#x2F

First of all, adding “yet” makes it somewhat of a loaded question. The demise/success of Python or Julia will never be a given until after the fact. An initial disclaimer. I am an academic that has been involved in the Julia community

I really do not like the effect, but alternatively buy a cheap IR filter and rub the Vaseline onto it instead. Far easier to clean and for more disposable.

There are a lot of factors to consider and also subjective preferences. But I agree that a light metre is helpful, although one should remember that you can get a stand-alone one. There are even ones that fit in the hot shoe [1]! [1]: http

Type-1 diabetic. I am not sure how much this will change the situation in the richer parts of the world, as tablets still seem inferior to me compared to pump deliver (my current method of choice). As pumps in terms of fast-acting (bolus) i

Thank you for correcting me. Nothing to add in terms of AMD. But I could have sworn that there was a set of “demands” in terms of features from NVIDIA around the time I used FreeBSD on my desktop (~2010) in order to produce binary drivers b

I have a hard time making the parent comment even making logical sense. So the reason we are not seeing say open CUDA drivers from NVIDIA for Linux is that they instead distribute closed ones for permissively licensed operating systems such

Best of luck. Although I would state that the English Civil War in many ways could be argued to be a mislabelled real revolution [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War#Whig_and_Mar... Edit: For c

It all sounds great in terms of a format. But if it is so superior, how come even on the GNU “home turf” we are still mainly using man pages in 2022? Is it not a classic example of “worse is better”? Where man may have major obvious fla

What if the slower pace is a conscious choice that makes the resulting documentation better and codebase more solid?

Starting 2023 it will be lower than the UK as well for any business above GBP 250,000 when HMRC bumps that rate to 25%. Heck, I would argue that even 20.6% is not that different to the current 19% across the board in the UK.

I have used urxvt, st, and Alacritty extensively and I would say that to me they feel “snappy” in exactly that order. You are of course welcome to pick whatever metric you want to judge a piece of software, but I can not say that I have e

To be fair, Hetzner is notorious for pushing down prices for everything as far down as they can by any means necessary. So this most likely makes their price point more sensitive than many other providers to any cost increase. Here is a g

You are being overly defensive here. What I wrote had nothing to do with GNU in particular, as I hope I made clear in the very next sentence after the one you cited by stating that the same is true for BSD make implementations and portabili

Thank you! I was not aware of ibara’s port of OpenBSD’s m4, so now I can drop my own ugly 15-minute hack. Is there a good source for finding strict POSIX tools rather than just go digging? Sad sidenote on m4, that even with strict POSIX [1]

Mostly nothing, but writing a makefile and only evaluating against it makes it difficult to guarantee that you will see the same behaviour on a non-GNU system (which has become more relevant these days as even systems based on the Linux ker

I always enjoy reading these kinds of write ups digging into why something is as fast as it is and how it interacts with a wider system. However, I do think that one should not arrive at the belief that this kind of optimisation is warran

Firstly, it is now pretty much exactly two years since OpenAI announced GPT-3 and it is great to see that access to these models – for scientists in particular – is becoming increasingly commonplace. I should also note that Hugging Face rea

A couple hundred KB is very impressive for i3. Even the ridiculously minimalist dwm (with a few patches applied) clocks in at 15,000 KB on my desktop. It does ship with a status bar though.

Thank you Turian, your ACL 2010 paper [1] was what got me somewhat early into word representations when it appeared during the first year of my PhD and ultimately gave me a head start on “deep learning thinking” that I suspect helped me gre
