I could really do with a brief rundown of a what a data processing engine does? Have briefly scanned https://www.wallaroolabs.com/ but the descriptions are both too general and too specific. Let's take the machine learning scenario: what does Wallaroo do for me here specifically..?
Enjoying the Chinese consortium that owns Opera too? I am not even joking here, given China's recent track record with WeChat I would think twice before using Opera to handle all your https (banking..etc.) traffic. Of course Chrome (US) suffers from somewhat similar issues. Firefox really has unique position in the market in that it's fully Open Source and has non-profit driven org behind it.
I'm sure this is a great resource, only "Serverless" is really the worst possible tag to put on something requires a server per definition. I mean, Zeronet or anything else truly distributed, OK, but not for something that's simply characterized by running on a formalized serverbase like AWS.
Exactly like React - means the language will be abandoned by wider community. The Facebook peeps are gradually building themselves into corporate self-invented mono-culture.
My department will be adopting ReactOS as soon as is possible - the amount of issues being purposely built into newer versions* of Windows is borderline hilarious. If we could pay for using LTSB installations we would do so but for a smaller charity this is near impossible.
*When car manufacturers reach peak saturation with a given model they expand/consolidate their position by improving their product, NOT by making the consumer buying their car the product...!
So happy someone are spending time on this issue, it's like a breath of fresh air and intelligence in the midst of all the usual software (security/privacy/etc. take your pick) mayhem. It's worth reading https://reproducible-builds.org/ for a brief (re-)reminder on why this project is important.
Outtake: "With reproducible builds, multiple parties can redo this process independently and ensure they all get exactly the same result. We can thus gain confidence that a distributed binary code is indeed coming from a given source code."
Why would anyone at this point go with Google's solutions for voice/video? Last time someone over at Arstechnica did a count they had 4 or 5 competing and largely incompatible solutions - they are NOT a serious player when it comes to producing, and perhaps more importantly - maintaining, a Skype replacement/alternative.
Prohibition seldomly succeeds. But yes, I would not mind it dropping to zero if alternatives are 100% doable (glycoproteins contained in beans needs LOTS of processing before they stop affecting gastrointestinal health (many indigenous tribes have ways to threat pulses that work but we tend to ignore the problem completely from industrial perspective) and things like soy has oestrogenic properties which can be bad news in the long run). Quorn is a "new" protein which has better profile than soy and relatively little allergenic potential.
Yes, extensively - have them arranged in the Firefox bookmark bar with along with folders to drop down for categories like "search", "news", "projects", etc. For everything that needs remembering in a more tertiary sense I bookmark without folders but use tags. FF's system, similar to Chrome's, that can synchronize across to other computers and phones while keeping encrypted stuff in the cloud makes bookmarks a lot less volatile in nature than they used to be.
Why is there no source information on why they weren't given the news of the cancellation earlier? And surely there's good technical and economical reasons to practically stop the show and not just stop broadcasting? Frustrating uninformative article.
> I do currently see some mysterious performance differences between Mac and Windows though, not sure what's up with that (e.g. my mid-2014 MBP with a 2.8 GHz i5 is giving better performance than the 3.5 GHz i7-4770K in my work PC).
It's worth checking the single thread performance of both your CPU models (see www.cpubenchmark.net), sometimes the higher end models actually have slower single thread performance.
Actually part of me is thrilled with this development, there are so many of the cool Kickstarter projects that fail due to lack of scale and economy - if Chinese factories can be bothered producing functional versions of these projects this is great from consumer perspective!
Yep, the idea of this "new" yogurt capitalism-socialism pretty much relies on the global work force being employees of successful multinational corporations - corporations that still employ a very small percentage of the overall population.
Canonical seems to embody a company culture which is just about non-directional enough to start mirroring the overall Linux ecosystem culture, so yeah, rather weak.
That is still pretty awful imo - think quite a few of the people considering Elixir and Phoenix are doing so explicitly to get away from having to Node.js close to their computers in the first place.
Great project, let's see a repository sooner rather than later. Also, at least basic benchmarking and information on the compiler backend would be great, LLVM or something else? How does the compilation work commandline wise (personally like the Crystal approach, i.e. easy fast compile & run as if interpreted and then allow extra compiler flags to facilitate optimized compilation for distribution). Also, what about I/O file system access and parallelization of tasks CPU wise?
