All of the arguments here seem to assume corruption (even extensibility is a form of it), and to treat it as a thing that can be fixed by the decompressor. It seems xz isn't ideal in that case, but none of the others are great either.

Perl generates McCabe scores, and can arbitrarily limit on complexity. That's a better proxy than "number of lines", but tends to be equivalent.

They're using different CPUs[0], different amounts of RAM, different base OSes, different drivers and even one different product version (Tensorflow RC). As far as benchmarks go this is pretty awful. It does show some useful top-level

2^70 / 6,000,000 years / 365.25 days / 24 hours / 60 minutes / 60 seconds = 6.2 million reference guesses per second. Modern multi-GPU instances are 560,000x faster, 350 billion guesses per second. So that gets you

Depending on what you're trying to do you have some options, but you should probably outsource. Option 1: If you're working on image recognition or anything similar, it's easy to get a ton of data. There are many corpora of i

And as of 9am PDT you can get a single GPU Linux instance for less than ten cents an hour. I doubt it will last, but if it did you could get a year's worth of compute for $800 and still have the flexibility and reliability of AWS infra

I like http://www.peterates.com/ as well, informative and accessible reviews (with vote recommendations) for California propositions.

Odd that it shows I'm not registered - I wonder if it has trouble with permanent absentee ballots? That would be especially unfortunate since they encourage that option after registration.

Probably not for real-time, but not impossible as a filter. I would imagine it'll be more like Prisma, take your snap and let it chug for a few seconds to give you a pretty picture.

I can't view any of the individual donors on Chrome. I scroll to the section, see the top of a couple heads, and as I keep going down the page it reverse-scrolls a white bar and it's all gone. What is this style of page? I see it

This sounds similar to k-means - pick some points "at random" and iteratively move them to the average location of all nearest neighbors until you stabilize. But mean shift goes in the opposite direction, giving each point a windo

True, which only makes my poorly-targeted point on bad parsability. Reading the code requires backtracking around a conditonal control statement, and in a format more verbose than ternary. Most places I've worked have bans or limits on

return if (value >= radix) error.InvalidChar else value; That is just painful to parse. Suffix-If sometimes makes sense and simplifies things, but it always makes code flow more difficult to understand.

Using KMS is a good idea, but I'm not really sure what this package gives you - just a simple abstraction / cmdline to deal with it? This would be better if it could use the aliases directly, so you could have one config across N
