Can you help me understand, how can the V100 have 10x the TFLOPs of the P100, but only get a 2.5x speed increase in training a neural net according to nvidia's docs? https://devblo…

EOL for Chrome Apps outside of Chrome OS was announced in August 2016 https://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-chrome-apps-to-web.ht...

I wish more web services provided opensource versions (Service-as-a-Software). Large orgs would still pay for service contracts even if they self host, and just having the option m…

Seems to be correct, went from $120 to $200 by the time I made it to checkout... which I then abandoned, but I was buying it for personal stuff.

Chat at "indie scale" is fairly easy. 10-20k concurrent users fit into one or two machines with off the shelf software (ejabberd) with minimal expertise. 1k-2k concurrent users cou…

The author works for mozilla, and firefox is a common theme on his blog. I think it's for regular readers of his blog to understand the practical impact (readers he assumes care mo…

Actually, that's EXACTLY the case I had in mind. Obviously I couldn't put a 50 line function with weird data structures in my blog post, or it would be unreadable. But the point is…

Cool, but unfortunately it breaks if the code your testing does from datetime import datetime :( https://gist.github.com/4261936

module = NaN will cause your script to be tricked, because NaN !== NaN. Not sure how to fix it, because isNaN can be overridden.

Thanks for the clarification. The downsides to that approach are that you need multiple machines, and the duration of your deploys is much longer. Not to mention, you'd have to scr…

Your method will stall responses for server shutdown + server startup time, which for Ruby/Python apps is usually measured in tens of seconds, and for other web servers can be much…

By far the easiest way to get similar behavior is to run your Django app via Gunicorn (proxied from Nginx). Gunicorn supports hot code reloading via SIGHUP, and it does so by forki…

One really impressive thing to me about 4chan's infrastructure: All traffic is served via 4 machines. Two webservers, a database and an admin/cron box. 22M uniques on 4 machines is…
