Thank you for mentioning Zenodo. I really liked how EU funding agencies push for reproducibility/citability of data and code when you submit proposals to them. I haven’t filed any NSF stuff (yet) but didn’t come across any such hard re

I’m not sure if it’s true anymore. I experienced good performance when they switched to using xhyve/bhyve (basically use docker for mac). Can you shade more light on your experience? When was this? What circumstances? Which kind of app

That sounds great! Can you please share some good models/links for the usb switcher thingy? (I had no idea such a thing existed in the first place!)

Well, after spending so much time watching kilometers of rolling text on my screen while `emerge -uavDN @world` compiles everything , I agree I don’t need reproducible builds

This sounds very similar to Safari blocking/deleting cookies?

Wait, does that mean GPU support includes NVIDIA only or will it also include (hopefully in future) ATI as well?

It would be great if you can share source/links to these claims you’re making.

Wouldn’t this severely hamper the use of shared single mega repo at Google and also very easy and effective sharing of all kinds of data across products and services?

Ah now it makes sense why there are so many Amazon recruiters pinging and connecting on LinkedIn :-) Thanks, I am happy to know Google Pay is run from India. Hope things change for the better for Google SWE/SREs in India - I am sure th

I would wait until they get field trials and do a launch in India (which is what Jio plans anyways). I think if they can do it at India scale and complexity - they can pretty much do it anywhere in the world. India scale is obvious - large

TFA proposes that Jio/India will be the fourth one - or at least that's what I understood from the post.

I found the analysis on winners and losers for the Indian model to be lacking in depth. Specifically, if the Jio Platform truly intends to be a platform (as described by the Bill Gates line[1]) then it's a huge win for Indian companies

Serious question: what does (will?) GPT-3 (or GPT-2/BERT) produce if provided with the STOP token (end of sentence/period). I want to know if there is any interesting investigation happening on the creativity by these models in a

By the way they discuss the implementation. First level is ensuring that base cases are covered (i.e. correct implementation of recursion) Second level is how they explain the simple recursion that’ll hit stack limits (i.e. without tail rec

Ugh, this brings back terrible memories from grad school. It was horrible as a student, horrendous as a TA, and that one time I filled in for my advisor, it was a nightmare!

I thought those were (partially?) addressed (or still ongoing?) with the use of bhyve/xhvye?

I wish there was a video tutorial of sorts to explain how git blame works. I have used it, but it never “clicked” me. I am always uncertain about what to do next as I browse git blame on GitHub

And magit for the emacs folks. They provide a conceptual framework for developer to orient and frame their actions with (sort of) right information density in the “native” $EDITOR environment. I think VSCode has that git plugin which is ver

I saw the video and later in the video he does say that he writes code inside his mail editor (pseudocode, or directly editing patches). So I don't think he said anything of the sorts that he is not having fun programming. And in fact
