You certainly can, I just have not tried it. It comes with a strap and everything. User “maiden” has an awesome setup that makes it both flashable and wearable for testing, have a look [1]. [1]: https://forum.pine64.org/show

As someone with a PineTime Dev Kit on their desk in front of them, I would say that “just not sealed/glued shut” is not the entire story. Sure, you could glue it shut. But you would be stuck with somewhat bog standard software that is

Regarding databases across machines, would not Syncthing [1] work for this? Storage is fairly cheap these days, so having an exact copy of everything on two machines would not be that bad. [1]: https://syncthing.net On a persona

As a Swedish expat, I would like to state that history around abortion is more complicated than “allowed since 1938”. Here is the first paragraph from Wikipedia from the article on abortion in Sweden [1] and it summarises things very well:

First of all, excellent points and thank you for the perspective on the direction of TensorFlow development. I usually settle for “It is opaque”, because that is as much as I know at this stage. Looking at all of your points, I agree with a

I think it is a bit unfair to say “I assume it was simply because they wanted to get Chris Lattner, and Swift was his baby”. Swift is an interesting programming language in its own right – and I am saying that as someone coding pretty much

The FreeStyle Libre is a way cheaper option (and also way easier to gain access to for those of us in the UK under the NHS). Strictly speaking is not a CGM, as you have to manually scan the sensor to retrieve the last eight hours of data. H

Right, but regardless of the factuality of these claims, remind me how we continue to sidestep the issue of consent from those that are tracked? “Privacy nuts” such as myself do not struggle to see upsides to say a global DNA database with

Sad to see GNU Guix struggling, they are young though and I have hopes for the future. About a year ago I made a choice between trying out GNU Guix and NixOS, since this week I now run NixOS on all my servers and desktops after gradually ph

You might want to add some specifics and references to back up such a statement. Otherwise it very much looks like a fairly cheap character attack to an outsider such as myself.

If you made this proposition to me a year ago, I would probably shrug it off. But after having read about several successful companies from the late 90s and early 00s doing exactly this – PayPal being a prime example – I think you may very

In London, it does not appear to be treated like something mobile – but in Tokyo it certainly is. You will see kids – mainly boys – huddle together around Switch screens or playing using the wireless wherever you go in suburban Tokyo.

Thank you, your comment really adds a whole lot of context missing in the article. Your description of the oyabun-kobun practice (親分子分慣行) also made me realise why to me “I give you my life” feels like such a weird translation for “命預けます”, t

I am not a lawyer, but I am nearly 100% sure that what you are talking about is trademark protection [1] rather than copyright, people get these wrong frequently. As far as I know, you can enforce your copyright completely arbitrarily. [1]:

It is indeed a chicken and egg problem, but that is always the case and is mostly an argument for the status quo. When I teach there is always a handful of students asking “Why examples in Julia? Python is what is used in industry.” and my

The “wackiest” Lisp embedding I have seen is of femtolisp [1] into Julia [2] to drive the language parser [3]. In hindsight, this is a fairly sensible design decision, but it did blow my mind when I first spotted it. # julia --lisp

I do not get it. If what you are trying to say is: “more data/computation helps”, then why even bother throwing in models, training objectives, and theory into your statement? We have known that more data helps for at least two decades

Due to the way that code composition works in Julia, there is no real “default” array for Flux. Rather, you can lift in any array type that you like. The GPU arrays are an excellent example of this, Flux “knows” nearly nothing about GPUs (a
