If potential users are running on Mesos, streaming data from Kafka and writing results to HDFS, they're presumably not that worried about relying on Apache Foundation managed software. Not to say that this project won't die - most

Is this just go-faster-juice for Tensorflow code or does it have other implications? If you train on TPUs can you still run the model efficiently elsewhere?

You don't need arbitrary precision, just enough precision. Specifically, in this case you only need 16 bits. You can start with an upper and lower bound, and narrow it down for each number. Here's an example with numbers dumped fr

Beyond assembly code and C, which is used for obvious reasons, malware authors often just use a language they are familiar with, like any other developer. Lots of malware has been written in Delphi, which has been popular in Eastern Europe,

This will be good to keep in mind when looking at performance reports. The main performance numbers I've seen so far are from two kinds of sources: 1. Local benchmarks like the Phoronix benchmarks, which I think are all on physical har

Besides being interesting in itself, this is the best collection of examples I've seen for JMH. When I looked last the official documentation was a bit thin, and most articles on it just included an unmotivated hello world example.

The comparison is bogus, because you can make the numbers arbitrarily high by subdividing into tiny areas and then conveniently ignoring all the places where they are zero. Why not subdivide further and claim that Buskerud is a veritable wa

The main problem is that it isn't a very good knob for this use case, as "ratio of freshly allocated data to live data remaining" is only incidental to the goal of the person writing the program. Therefore you'd expect t

It's strange that there's so much focus on district shapes, when any voting system with proportional representation would make gerrymandering pretty much ineffective. Every voting system has its flaws, but the US system seems to h

I'd be happy to see it optimized - namedtuple looks like a convenient way to quick-and-dirtily define a data structure, but several times I've ended up changing back to plain tuples because using namedtuple was much slower, especi

It sounds like IPv6 acknowledges that most protocols try hard to avoid fragmentation anyway, so fragmented packets are the exception. And it's not like fragmentation hasn't caused problems with firewalls in IPv4 either. E.g. http

That sounds reasonable, but aren't all of those mitigations for after the shit hits the fan? None of options will prevent a crash unless you can actually exercise them pre-crash.
