Not to mention the constant image processing going on in the background. I wonder how it'd affect battery life / fan noise.

IIRC 8" drives held only 1kb (yes, only 1024 bytes!) so I doubt they'd be of much use, even in the earliest days of Linux.

I will be honest and just say this: As a Linux guy who has negligible familiarity with the Windows Server technology, this post doesn't make much sense to me. What is the Linux equivalent of this operation? apt-get dist-upgrade? Now th

I'm so happy I've stayed with Gentoo and never had to bother with this systemd thing that everyone is talking about.

The lightest video-capable satellite terminal that I, a mere civilian, know of weighs around 3kg. Even as a satellite equipment, it's relatively expensive to buy and operate. Its power requirements are also non-trivial, both because of

$DAYJOB is about installing satellite equipment of all sorts. It's very challenging to establish high-bandwidth satellite links from a helicopter due to the rotor blades. I'm guessing VHF is used to avoid line-of-sight transmissio

I don't get conan. Portage can already create a linux root in your homedir (see the prefix project) and has a huge package repo. What am I missing?

The correct verb is "declinate". The title is wrong. Declination (not declension) is like conjugation bur for nouns. Important note: I don't care about the fact that none of the English dictionaries agree with me in this res

The models / software created for one language mostly fit others. Eg. Two-level finite state morphology was invented for Finnish and was very successfully adopted to parse Turkish words. So the opinions of Linguists aside, the language

The stochastic strategy is to 1. enumerate every possible tag combination 2. assign a probability to each one 3. choose the parse with highest probability. 1. can be done either deterministically or stochastically. 2. requires you to have a

> But a spell checker is just a tiny part of the NLP domain. Sure, but the linked tweet claims that not even a working spellchecker exists for Finnish. I'm sure Joakim Nivre would think otherwise !

These are common problems for languages with complex morphology. Finnish, Japanese, Turkish and Hungarian are closely related in this sense and share a lot of NLP research. While implementing spell checkers for these languages need a bit mo

WASM binaries needn't be exposed to the internet. That said, the OS-sanctioned runtime could very well support a shared-object-like approach instead of one-binary-per-app but that would 1. complicate the runtime quite a lot 2. hinder s

What about packaging & distribution? Unless I missed something, it's up to us to package & ship our app complete with assets. I firmly believe that this project is incomplete without a standard like .war (Web ARchive, from the

This is one of the logical next steps towards mass WASM-adoption. Another was Cloudflare's Isolates [1]. There needs to be official OS support from vendors (MacOS, Windows and Linux distros) in order to avoid the stinking pile of non-s

First, I do dabble in frontend dev but I'm more of a backend person. I never used React and briefly played with Polymer 2. Shadow DOM and custom tags make it possible to closely mimic the way we used to do UI development back in the De

I always felt like Polymer's component model (with "use the platform" as a motto/basis for implementation) had a bigger overlap with the kinds of problems a UI toolkit was supposed to solve though the frontend community

Ignoring your personal attacks, you and I are on the same page. I do agree that shipping your glibc is "the road to hell" and shipping with the glibc could be qualified as "shipping in the form of its own Linux distro",

Why not use KVM via vagrant-libvirt? It's pretty easy to set up and works like a charm. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18727059

Virtualbox is not your only option if you want to use Vagrant. Vagrant has decent plugins for qemu (vagrant-libvirt) and lxd (vagrant-lxd) Make sure you get your KVM, Qemu and libvirt setup right and run: vagrant plugin install vagran
