Yes, they are independent and complementary. GP has no idea what they're talking about. (I use both DSP and ML heavily for my audio analysis projects.)

Despite the different codebases, they still have the datasets that they've collected over the years, and that's really what matters (for things like lane detection.) It would be quite weird if they didn't retrain their new mo

Thanks, yes I know :-) I consider three years to be pretty recent (from the perspective of people managing their own servers.)

Yep. GCE VM migration and persistent storage is really amazing, and getting better with every release, however there are still limitations and caveats that can get you in trouble (especially if you have very tight latency requirements.) Gla

I've been doing this for years, except that I used to use the DNS provider's mail forwarding feature for it (as opposed to running my own MTA.) Recently I switched to pobox.com (which I pay for) because I wanted some mail delivery

V8 is just the JavaScript runtime, not a full browser environment (i.e., no DOM, etc.) If you want to use V8 headless, you can either use NodeJS or you can link it into your own C/C++ code to run JS scripts, which is what I did a while

The only sibling response is rollupjs, which replaces webpack with ES6 import syntax. You still need bablel for the rest of the ES6 syntax.

Why is Babel overkill? It lets you write your code in ES6, which is a huge benefit for many reasons.

This is not that uncommon -- e.g., most proofs of the undecidability of the halting problem.

This is a ridiculous statement. You do know that this stuff actually enables safety, right?

Wait, what? How do environment variables end up in the public part of process table? There's no way one user can peek into the environment of another (without permissions, notwithstanding bugs) -- that's part of the design of Unix

I've used both, and got quite annoyed with the poor reliability and latency of Gitlab. I just want something that functions, is predictable, and gets out of my way. GitHub meets my needs, and I'm a happy $7/mo. customer. :-)

Also: 4) migrate to other languages, such as Go ... which is not uncommon, and in many cases a pretty good idea.
