saying linux is cancer (and communism even though this is only seen as a terrorizing thing mostly in the US) were pretty strong statements. strongarming companies to NOT sell computers with linux is not so far in the past either. I 100% und

Please do not hate me or hit me, I say these with an utter interest in the field. I worked as a research engineer for a few years. They are really needed but unfortunately this will be a waste of time, effort and knowledge. The real problem

I would really like to buy one BUT I find it a little bit too expensive, especially the price difference for better CPUs I find proportionate. (i would be slightly more tempted if it was for an amd 6000 cpu, they are much better in perf&#x2

go code to compile c/c++ code? What is the reason for this complexity? What does this project solve that existing package managers do not? (eg compared to vcpkg, spack or hunter) After a week of fighting with vcpkg, i really doubt tha

I would be very happy if we lived in a world where a code using SIMD instructions and hand crafted cache-blocking and threaded code was a "naive implementation" but we are not. a "naive implementation" is a simple nested
