You need to try it and see if it is any faster. NVIDIA has a drop-in replacement for numpy: https://developer.nvidia.com/cunumeric.

I wish linux had a comparable system for systematically embedding assets in binaries.

Case in point: countries with high levels of gun violence. You never know when an unhinged person might unload into you.

It was a geostatistician. It is what they do.

Apple is an appliance maker. It does not make computers.

I'd say good riddance. Why saddle yourself with this abomination?

Isn't this obvious?

As a child I was always shocked to see ordinary citizens duelling in westerns and just shooting each other. I chalked it up to artistic license. The thought never crossed my mind that it was a depiction of reality in an alien world.

I had to share this. This is awesome!

> As an observation, performance optimized code is almost always effectively single-threaded these days, even when using all the cores on a CPU to very efficiently process workloads.

Why?

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It seems this applies to data-parallel workloads only. I'd use a GPU for this. An RTX 3090 has around ~10000 CUDA cores (10000 simultaneous operations) v/s just ~10 for CPUs.

No true Scotsman huh?

Also can you link to an example of this purported memory safe C++ compiler? Please note for an apples to apples comparison it must reject all memory unsafe non-modern C++ constructs.

This has not been my experience. Most people don't bother with these things. Memory safety / undefined behavior is a non issue for them.

LOL.

> At scale, human errors are a certainty, while documentation and training is far from useless, no amount of it can change that fact. It's therefore a critical responsibility of systems designers to design their systems to be resilient to mistakes.

If only the people who insist on using unsafe languages understood this. Their position is that you should get better at not making mistakes.

> would call C++ a memory safe language

LOL.

>Anyone who’s tried to deploy their own complex Maven project knows that it’s a true nightmare.

Maven != Cargo

> C++, on the other hand, has a variety of choices for build systems.

None of which even remotely approach the ease of use and maintainability of the Cargo build system.

> once you need to build something that the default build system doesn’t support, you’re in big trouble.

Cargo can build arbitrary dependencies using the build.rs build mechanism.

Most middle-eastern countries do not have this either...

> but Myanmar is still richer than us.

but I am willing to bet they are richer than both Nepal and Myanmar. It seems what Myanmar has over Nepal is natural resources, (just like the middle eastern countries). This is nothing to be proud of.

Better late than never.

I have noticed it to be slower, and with more broken websites. I still prefer it over chrome.

Link to Aether?

Let's not forget this lesson when it comes to Microsoft.

Typical British reporting.

Thanks, that explains it.

So Apple does not show the GPLv3+ banner?

Why do you need the minimum == 0 test in the following chunk of code ...

  if i > 0 and (minimum == 0 or i < minimum):
      minimum = i

This is going to backfire spectacularly. There is no filter which can isolate the good from the bad. If you let the flood gates open the scum will come in too.

Then start by changing your phone.

Hair raising. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the article. Now someone needs to make this into a game :)

I have installed Windows in a dual boot configuration with Linux. I now have a better time separating work and play, win-win!

> ...sickness and parts shortage...

Isn't git peer-to-peer already? Why would anyone need this?
