True, the last three build tooling as a part of the language from the start. Java? I seem to recall build systems and tooling being more pain than Fortran. Not sure I believe that one. Certainly not my experience.

Which languages do this much better? Honest question.

Ah, I was thinking about compatibility. Didn’t realize the performance was that bad? Thanks for the warning.

Py is not installed when you get it from windows store. Another gotcha to worry about. The story about python on windows is a nightmare for new people for these reasons. And installing packages - while not as bad anymore - is a mixed bag du

Now this is cool. Making data available to applications (and other nice things).

Is this deltalake the same as Databricks deltalake? Is it compatible?

by pletnes 3y ago
This is a fairly good answer but on windows, there’s no python3, so that’s your first command being broken.

Pypy supports numpy just fine.

Pypy is nice if you want more performance. From my experience it seems underused. Never seen jython and ironpython used - yet.

I often use the git blame feature in the IDE to understand what’s been going on. A good commit message will be appreciated, should I happen to find one.

Right, I guess DGEMM (or parts of it) is all you need for surprisingly many operations.

Is this approach similar to or inspired by ATLAS? Sounds like it to me at first glance.

Rename hundreds of files at a time. Find stupid errors in GB sized csv/json/.. data files. Automate git bisect. Automate workflows by writing a short loop or 3 commands in a row you can easily repeat. Down/upload big datasets

These exist for the military and hunters. The ones I saw long ago were probably hard/firmware based. SW must be possible but you’ll get artifacts.

My kids have. They look like kiddo stuff and thus no Fortnite enthusiast will wear them dead.

This, a thousand times this - there’s a logarithm in there, folks.

At the same time, if 1% of python programmers dislike it, then there are more dissatisfied python programmers than there are programmers in total for most other languages.

Microsoft are paying core devs to work on it full time, for one.

Pypy is a different JIT that gives anything from slower/same to 100x speedup depending on the benchmark. They give a geometric mean of 4.8x speedup across their suite of benchmarks. https://speed.pypy.org/

Do you have instructions and RAM requirements for running that model? Llama.cpp?

Counterexample https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549?wprov=s... Edit: interestingly, the evacuation took about the same time in total, but in a river, not on land.

WSL conflicts with many antivirus/security packages due to e.g DNS filtering or other network restrictions. WSL itself on a non-managed box works not-too-bad, sure. Cygwin has been very useful to me, but also caused its share of issues

File IO seems to be the problem. I’m guessing antivirus + virtualization overhead. Don’t see what I can change about that (use linux, sure). Docker is still useful, it’s great for sharing a complicated setup across machines.

Yes, and git bash is quite useful and built on those. In many ways the most useful alternative - it works and everyone already has it. But not a logical choice if you want to «deploy» something I guess.
205.
by pletnes 3y ago
Where I’m working, WSL doesn’t work (well), VMs are banned, and personal experience with cygwin is awful (that was on win7, but still). Everything that helps me develop software on windows which runs on linux (of course!) is warmly welcome.

I’ve never seen a ticket system migration keep links alive. I’m sure there are professional IT centric orgs out there that prioritize this, but in my experience, the version history (master branch) is what’s kept in practice, to keep migrat

They do support numpy. The pypy name predates pypi. You’re off on multiple details here.

Cool, didn’t know about sd before. The missing part is a more modern awk somehow.

«Most software» - lots of software is run on cloud compute / backend servers and can be built or tuned specifically for the box/vm/container you’re running it on. I would expect AWS/Azure/Google to do that for their

Notably, argparse is way faster than click/typer. If you just need a few —options it’s probably preferable.
