C++ has had ages to solve this problem, vcpkg and conan are still a ways away from the simplicity of cargo. Doesn't support binary libraries? I don't really care considering everything else I get, I'm sure they'll suppor

Used both vcpkg and conan, not comparable to the ease of use of cargo. Needed some high performance code last year, wrote it all in c++. This year migrated to Rust, will never look back. C++ is going to need to break things if they want to

> I think C++ can do anything Rust can do, and I would like it to be much simpler to use You're going to need to break c++ then. It is so much harder to use than Rust today, I have no idea why anyone would choose c++. The libraries

The c++ library argument is funny to me because it’s so incredibly difficult to import external projects in c++. This is where Rust is going to eat their lunch.

Yea I don’t think it’s even comparable, and with c++ it’s still a nightmare to import anything not to mention having to deal with the horribly awkward syntax they have accumulated over the years

It’s this and the fact that few/one shot learning seems to just emerge with with models of this size

Yes, if an employer doesn’t understand how to look at my GitHub then they aren’t worth my time.

That’s not the same as on the spot coding challenges in a whiteboard though

With highly skilled workers they are likely to just leave. I would prefer to help the causes that are close to me

Couldn’t the employees decide what they wanted to do with their money?

Not sure why it still stakes hours to days to upload a video from my iPhone.

Guess the “we’re cool like apple” play didn’t work out

Except the compilation time of course

This is an amazing accomplishment, I could see the ideas here being applied to more data structures

It's such a ridiculous position they are taking

So due to how Go handles memory, it needs to do something called "trampoline", over to the C stack. This causes Go->C calls to have a substantial overhead 70-200ns/op. Most other languages that value is closer to 1ns. This

I feel where they are trying to go with this, I wrote https://github.com/aunum/gold in Go because of all the nice parts of Go. This solves some of the pain points but is still fatally flawed as any other Go ML tool in

This is particularly impactful since macOS won’t support CUDA drivers anymore.

Exactly, and he went on to offer more ways by which they could get women into tech based on that study. But I guess that makes you a misogynist

Yea and he was essentially complaining about google brainwashing

Google very much does not own Kubernetes. They have vested interest in a number of SIGs but the SIGs have been good about preventing the chairs from being Google dominated. Redhat, Microsoft and vmware are major contributors to the product.

This sounds a lot like toxic work culture, but unfortunately there’s a lot of that in tech

This is an insane amount of funding when you look at the projected revenue for machine learning over the next couple years. Maybe those projections are wrong, and I certainly love all the energy in this space, but it feels like a lot of inv

Yea this is the thing, I’m terrible at white boarding but I have an amazing github that can show what I’ve done. An amazing github presence should far exceed any whiteboarding

I think we can all agree that C++ is a dragon that needs to be slain here. Swift could potentially get close to that for most of the needs, but I still wouldn't bet data scientists would write swift.

Yep this is the key, its not really the data science end its the engineering piece.
