God no! That book is only useable if you are a math PhD and want to get into ML. Source: buddy is math PhD and worked with ML for 5-10 years now, even he has hard time understanding some chapters.

Pytorch is pretty dominant in research (outside Google) but it's use in production is lagging behind, primary due to tensorflows excellent support for deployment in all kinds of environments. I would say it's top 3, probably top 2

Well, these days you _can_ run a company without a single Windows machine. What you cannot do (once you are more than a handful) is to not use any Microsoft cloud services (exchange online, office 365, skype fb, teams, ...) while doing busi

I think you misunderstood me. Note my use of the word "resources"... The number of FOSS contributers is not infitine. At some point we need to start working together instead of forking yet another marginally different copy. I unde

The point is, now there is yet another distro out there as its own island, stealing resources and not contributing to the rest of the community (including Ubuntu)

by panpanna 7y ago
I still feel they should've used those resources to improve an existing distro instead of creating their own. Hardware companies trying to write software usually ends in disaster. (Yes Lenovo, I'm looking at you)

I wonder why the embassy did not remotely wipe his phone, since this was his work phone. With that said, I don't understand how he could not have expected that when visiting China.

For the record, almost all big/respectable motherboard companies are also Taiwanese. So basically, we are about to see some top quality ASUS AMD NUCs in a few months.

I wonder what engineers working on vscode and wsl feel when they run into people working on OS monetization in the company restaurant... What do you need to say in your interview to be assigned to the latter team?

Since you seemed to have analyzed this carefully, why couldn't object pools be used to reduce collectable garbage in the first place?

Having previously owned a Windows RT device, I think I will wait a while. I don't even understand why this move is needed. You are just trading performance and compatibility against, at best, 20-30% better battery life.

Back then Intel was stuck with a classic CISC architecture that did not scale well. What transmeta did was to keep the x86 instruction set (CISC) but internally convert them to a simpler RISC-ish instruction set and run it in a much simpler

Not really a common occurrence here. Does it happen often at your workplace? What kind of issues are we talking about?

Not for me. I like my terminals tiled (hence tmux) and everything else free floating. People say a tiled wm makes you more productive. But most of my time goes to thinking, I don't work in a factory...

Is there a similar list for Chromebooks capable of running normal distros? (Possibly after physical modification, if that's still a thing)
