This is the most maddening behavior. I don't really care about the thumbnails not being there, but this irks me evertime I save a file.

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of this article. In addition to this kind of policy being elitist I also think it is racist. Those attending higher education tend to be from more well off backgrounds and white. This is where the w

Virtually all that ML done with python is done in optimized c/c++/Cuda libraries. There isn't that much time spent in python.

That might be an ok solution for consumer devices, but the kernel drivers I'm talking about are for custom setups that will only be used internally by me. There would never be any reason to upstream them. Constantly upgrading the kerne

by tkuraku 6y ago
It is a reasonable thing to want to keep the kernel stable for custom kernel drivers. So stable kernel space is also important to me.

I really like that the AMD drivers are open source and up streamed into the kernel. However, that doesn't solve all the use cases. If I want to use newer hardware on an older distribution (RHEL, DEBIAN, Ubuntu LTS, etc) the upstreamed

I think that Numpy with Numba for routines that aren't easily vectorized and or need if statements is just about the perfect combination. https://numba.pydata.org/ . Numba functions are very close to C/C++ performa

When would the Quadro cards based on Ampere likely be released. Any ideas?

by tkuraku 6y ago
Numba I think is the perfect tool for numeric code. Much easier to work with than Cython or native modules. You can also use numba to write Cuda functions.

VTK is a great visualization tool that might suit your needs.

I really like wxWidgets. It is very convenient to add the wxWidgets repo as a git submodule and add it to your cmake build as a subdirectory. The licensing is also great. I highly recommend it! A fantastic project

For me, flatpaks are a better user experience in just about every way. The one feature they are missing is that there is no equivalent to the snap --classic confinement. That means that for applications like vscode the flatpak experience is

instead of runc, I think ccrun would be a good name. cc is usually the c compiler so ccrun would make sense and be short and explicit.

I have found flatpaks to be much better (they are much faster to startup), except that flatpak doesn't have an unconfined or "classic" mode like snaps. THis is especially annoying if you wanted to install vscode to access the

I would recommend the latest Fedora release. The kernel is updated frequently, seem to be only a couple weeks behind upstream. Fedora has been incredibly stable for me.

I like the idea of Org Mode, but for me it is just a painful to use. Vscode with the "Markdown All in One" does everything I could possibly need. It is still plain text and it should be portable to any tool that can display markdo

I feel like snaps are trying to do too much. Applications are slow to start. Besides, I don't want the underlying system to be changing and updating all the time. For me the stability of RHEL/Centos with flatpak for desktop applic

I think Qt is an amazing product. I would use it for all desktop development if I could. The commercial license is a bit expensive to justify. I think they could do a lot better if the costs were more inline with a Visual Studio license. R

I fully agree. The more fragmented cross platform build tools become the less useful they are. Cmake is really pretty good and has some support from Microsoft in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

I think jumping to the conclusion that there will be banner ads is a bit of an over reaction. Right now the adds are fairly innocuous, but it is still frustrating that adds are the default instead of just charging me a few dollars. I have n

I completely agree. It is even worse when you pay for a product and still get adds.

Right now I am using vanilla Debian. They have tons of packages available and they aren't pretending to be anything other than free. I really like RHEL/Centos. Buying RHEL for personal use is a bit expensive and they are pretty sp

This is perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I wish Canonical would just charge a small amount to download Ubuntu. I don't pay money for Ubuntu, everyone I know doesn't pay for Ubuntu. Nothing is free. Individuals and corporations ne

The only real pain point I've had with hdf5 is with writing or reading separate files in parallel. I can understand problems writing to the same file in parallel, but it was a bit of a shock to realize writing two separate files in par

I have used Modelica for some classes. It works really well. You can simulate continuous and discrete time systems all in the same model. It it has some similarities to Mathworks' Simulink and Wolfram SystemModeler actually uses the Mo

+1 - I didn't even know this was an issue. Usually i just use apt to update and run autoremove after I get a new kernel and verify it is working. I recently installed Ubuntu on some old computers for my relatives and they really like i
