    I wonder if something like AMD's SSD+GPU combo would improve the performance of this? Increasing the usable buffer size.

    How is cheating an a professional game ('esport') not equivalent to financial fraud when cheating in an other professional game (physical sport) is?

    I cant think of any serious constraint solvers without some sort of optimization support, are there any?

    I wonder if Octave would benefit from something like Graal, for some common JIT infrastructure.

    Whats the distinction between Integer Programming and Constraint Programming? From a cutlery glance they appear to be the same solution to the same problem...

    The newer ones allegedly dont do the random pattern thing anymore.

    Without having read the article I assume it is something to do with the asseociscativity and size of it?

    BT already has a limited IPv6 rollout in progress[1], but the hardwares a big limiting factor (the early hubs definitely cannot manage it). [1] http://arstechnica.co.uk/information…

    What's stopping them provinding a backend for tensorflow? But yes'm, it's obviously not a given.

    I take back what I said, they do use the higher end variant of exactly that cpu: I7-4980HQ although it's probably aggressively clocked and or binned.

    Currently they can force you to use a docstring with types, how is that any different?

    If it loads quickly, why not? My connection is a sub 3ms ping to the nearby datacenters, what exactly is the bottleneck? It's not to say there isn't a place for SPAs but I would ar…

    What's wrong with optional typing? All it does is formalise docstrings into an integrated syntax.

    Adaptors really are a stop gap. But yeah, in the short term its a pest.

    No you don't [1]. You get within a (reasonable) margin of error of full performance (assuming there are no CPU bottlenecks). [1] http://www.ultrabookreview.com/10761-razer-core-rev…

    That is a 47w CPU. That is way higher than the TDP of most laptops allows for (displays, discreet GPUs, etc). The 15" MBP only has an 85W charger, which must both charge the batter…

    Firefox is nowhere near as big an offender as chrome. Chromes absolute disregard for me frankly offends me. Also, programs like IntelliJ do have low power mode, which does help sig…

    Google's TPU claims to have a >10x perf/w advantage over GPUs (they state competitors, but GPUs are the defacto standard) and thats frankly more important that raw throughput at sc…

    Google has implemented their own deep learning chip with no CUDA support and its serving their purposes well. Why not another industry giant, Intel?

    Chargers are the other thing, I've gotten way more replacements than I should have, pretty much no questions asked. Both in and out of warranty as its a design failure not a case o…
