Last week I helped someone organizing and analyzing their data in Excel. As I'm using Excel only once every couple of years, I had to rewatch the wonderful "You Suck at Excel with Joel Spolsky" to be productive again. Now see

I'm not sure there are people who are buying new phones every 8 years. But buying a used 2-3 year old iPhone, using it for 3 years and then handing it down to be used another 3 years by someone else is very common around here (Germany)

I’ve often done that in Paris, absolutely enjoyable. Through the city proper you only walk a little over two hours north-south or east-west. With a few detours to points if interest and breaks for coffee it’s one of my favorite ways to spen

I think you are missing that the world is a little messy. You are correct that native extensions can and do drop the GIL. But data needs to be loaded, it needs to be preprocessed (does your image downsampling library drop the GIL? Does the

It's exactly the high-performance native extensions that require the GIL removal to allow for a full utilization of the machine. Although already successful as glue for these libraries, Python is ultimately hamstrung by the GIL on many

Every time the GIL removal is discussed, I notice a tidal wave of negativity in the comments, which is completely surprising to me. I suspect some critics primarily deal with thread-parallel programs that focus on asynchronous data sharing

Does anybody have an idea on how to get in to Metal programming (as in Apple Metal)? I'd love to mess around a little with this on iOS and macOS while learning about tile-based rendering, but I have trouble locating educational written

I wrote about my motivations in a different comment. To be honest, I didn't harbor any particular expectations. Maybe a flicker of hope for a bit of feedback or interaction from someone who'd given it a go, be it results, queries,

Sure, they're just silly internet points. Yet, after heading back from the conference, they're the only immediate, tangible pat on the back that's left. It'll be a while before the first round of article citations start

I'm not entirely in agreement here. While there was undoubtedly some internal motivation at work (as publishing subpar code just doesn't sit right), I believe a significant portion of it was external, and I don't see that as

I put a lot of work into doing the last 10% for a project recently, and I'm not convinced yet that I'll be getting anything out of it, other than my own satisfaction. After my colleagues and I got our paper (on real-time depth est

There are some more three-character user names if you count dashes and digits, which are also allowed in GitHub usernames. Although I think the first one has to be a letter of the alphabet.

Ha, I remember the poster from the conference, it was quite crowded when I passed by. This one seemed to have a big focus on data augmentation in the DCT space. I was asking myself (and the author) whether you couldn’t eke out a little more

Buying 455[1] of these and hanging them next to each other would be a nice art project. Alas, I'm lacking the $1.1M, and the space to hang them. [1] https://www.freedomforum.org/todaysfrontpages/

Any guesses on how much you'll be able to read, when following a link with a Desktop browser? Half a thread, or more? Before the inevitable full-page login overlay hits you straight in the face, as they always tend to do.

As a person who is quite annoyed by slow websites, I'm really not that bothered by ChatGPT (as chat.openai.com). So a native ChatGPT Mac app would be a hard sell to me. I'm only interested in the API access, which OpenAI doesn&#x2
