I don't personally visit twitch.tv but I just did and it loaded normally and streaming auto-played without enabling Flash (although the site requested it for some reason). Speaking of Flash, some sites request Flash on Firefox but not

What does "faster" mean? honest question. I've been using Firefox since its early days and never jumped on the Chrome bandwagon simply because I didn't see the need to do so. When Firefox felt slow, it usually was the wh

Note that pytesseract has no bindings with tesseract's API, it merely uses the tesseract command line tool and communicates with it via stdout/stdin. If you want native and complete access to tesseract's API you can use tesse

If you're into huge laptops, I'm running Linux (Ubuntu) on an ASUS ROG G752VS right now, previously ran on G750 and G751 models. Build quality is solid and the specs are no doubt high end. However, not everything works out-of-the-

All changes are very well documented for each release [1]. The biggest changes I've seen were, as expected, upgrading from 0.x to 1.x which were mostly function attribute names changes that were made to comply with numpy's attribu

That's not really related to the network. When you build a NN, you shouldn't expect different accuracy using different frameworks (given that you're using the same hyper parameters and training/evaluating on the same dat

The point is to be able to work in different windows in the same session, not have two different sessions. I can see how something similar can be achieved in tmux but it would require getting used to a different workflow.

We usually have multiple people working in the same screen, each in a different window (on a remote server). Last I checked, this was not straight-forward in tmux (where everyone is switched to the same window whenever someone switches) and

I never installed Messenger mainly because I was satisfied with using Facebook app's messaging feature. When it was disabled in the app, I moved to using Facebook in the browser (uninstalled the app). They later removed messaging suppo

I'm on Linux and I don't feel any noticeable speed difference using FF vs Chrome (startup time doesn't bother me at all, my browser is always running and I rarely restart my machine). I've been using FF since the early d

Actually you get a prompt when you try to save a file that has been modified in a different session or when you switch to a similarly modified buffer. But those are pretty reasonable and don't happen that often.

That looks more like emacs behavior though, vim rarely (never?) prompts the user for anything. You enter a command, you get a reaction (either an action like quits vim, or a message indicating something happened) -- which I personally prefe

tensorflow's py_func allows you to do that, you can also write your own C++ operators, their API interface for that is pretty nice. In fact, you should be able to pretty much write any op you need by combining existing ops (maybe not a
