not in the industry anymore but I'd argue that, as far as 3D engines go, truly understanding an engine implies a breadth of knowledge much wider that what was necessary to make "simple" (by the time it was tough) 3D textured

I'll look at it. My major gripe with jupyter is that it's hard to document classes because a class must be inside one code block and you can't mix in comments block... (unless I didn't see some obvious thing)

Yeah sure but I'd like to sprinkle lots of little codes in many different places, ad hoc. This happens while I'm debugging issues 'cos I have to integrate information from various places. Note also that it's not like try

pretty neat. But what I need the most right now is a way to visualize information. I work on computer fluid dynamics and there I have: - super intricate algorithms with lots of variables running around - lots of huge numpy arrays storing th

I happen to work in the computational fluid dynamics department and I happen to have coded in the video game industry (optimized 3D engines). So I do know when optimizing is necessary. It's just that most of the time, for my computat

I admit I didn't read all the threads in detail. I'll give it another try :-)

Dumb question: why all the fuss ? I have checked a bit on the web but I fail to grasp the practical consequences of it (I mean if LK99 is the thing)). Could someone explain what could be done with that material ? For example, if we can tran

I don't use PyPy because when I'm stuck with performance issues, I go to numpy and if it really doesn't work I go to cython/numba (because it means that 99% of my python code continue to work the same, only the 1% that g

I think I was overwhelmed with pressure. Actually, the team was also overwhelmed (a few people went away). In the beginning of the project, I tried reorganize things, etc. And it went well for a month then pressure from the customer mounted

I was with a boss who refused to listen, that's for sure. Not the whole company, just him. This ended in me burned out and him gotten fired (I think I have been the one too many). Retrspectively, the guy created the conditions of a fai

Management is about having authority. That is, you're a vector: you must defend the company's values (which you may disagree with) in front of your team (which may disagree with them too). So you'd better be very aligned on

For the record, I have found that on LPython's homepage, there is a pretty complete list of all "compilers" for Python. Really interesting list.

Is LPython comparable to Nuitka ?

my overall feeling on my own (slow) PC is that VSCode is faster on load (or, to be exact, I perceive it be to be faster) and provides a few features that I don't have on emacs. You're right: once VSCode is in memory I think it use

Because I conserve energy: I turn my PC off at the end of each session (so about one/two times a day). And because the "sleep" mode is not reliable (I have a 14 years old PC, upgraded in RAM and GPU and SDD; and here I conser

Let's see that positively: with such a moratorium, we're less at risk of having some AGPL software used without respecting its licene terms :-)

Some how, I read : "I'm quite happy it didn't keep going, though not for lack of _f_rying." Besides, what's the bathing suit name reference ? I don't get it.

funny, I just rented an introductory book about signal processing and was (re) amazed to see how much the information is well explained, with tons of example, and a real plan to guide you in the ton of knowledge you have to master. I for

This merely gets 4 comments son HN whereas a 100th nail in the coffin of privacy by Google gets 300+. I really wonder what kind of people HN'er are sometimes.

Thanks ofr this answer. Looks very balanced to me.

Does this relate to the TPM chips ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module
