Is there a single error bar in the paper? It seems like a guess

Hi Dmitry, Hi Ryan I love the fact that this is out! I have been the original author of vmprof and I have been working on profilers for quite some time. I'm also one of the people …

All who live in silicon Valley of course. You seem to have forgotten that "making world a better place" is a mantra repeated across the entire IT. I presume if Facebook employees a…

That will likely be the contents of the next blog post

It did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolleybus

If you want to see an advanced Python compiler, have a look at PyPy. While CPython bytecode compiler is "dump", it's as smart as it can be. You can do crazy stuff with speculative …

Thanks! I'm glad to hear your company is also incorporated in Estonia. How well has it been working for you?

Hi I suggest you don't write down in gray on white "by the way, we will also store your email". Put it somewhere either prominent or maybe outright have and opt in button for that?…

There are two things in play here - one is that pypy is a large py2-only codebase that is unlikely to be ported. Second is that maintaining python 2 both does not cost much and it'…

While I agree with you, pypy already runs cffi fast and we are thinking how to run cython fast. That would cover a large subset of using C API I think.

I live in Cape Town where I can do surfing a bit better than in Munich ;-)

I think you are confusing CFFI (which is massively faster under pypy) with CPython C API calls (which is both slower under pypy and ones used by numpy)

The main way big corpos are sponsoring os is hiring the developers typically. That comes with a whole lot of things that some people don't want to deal with, like changing your pla…

3.7 (or maybe even 3.8) support will start as soon as we can have a "final" 3.6 - which might be couple months from now. I think 3.7 won't be done in 2019, unless some magic source…

numpy works on pypy these days. You have to install it via pip and it does not have wheels, so it takes a few minutes to install, otherwise works. The numpy-heavy workloads will no…

And the website reporting it blatantly violates GDPR by making it hard to opt-out from tracking (which should be opt-in or not at all)... We really need to change the way we moneti…

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_Technologies they're based in San Francisco these days (but were founded in Denmark).

There are protections against that in the EU - you can reverse engineer and otherwise circumvent all the protections for the sake of making things interoperable.

So the good news is that after SV/SF, everything is cheap! Well, mostly.... I would personally suggest Cape Town, South Africa, if you're a bit adventurous. Lovely weather, good pe…

Would be really cool if you could just, you know, download the program and run it, not have to go through Viveport at all.

Hi! Thanks! Feel free to hit me up if you want to chat, some parts of the UI are or can be OS. Email in profile.

Hi Excellent job! We have been working quite a bit in UI/UX of VR editing. You might be keen to look at what we've done here: https://vrsketch.eu (it's a tool for architects, but s…

I enjoy how "EU" means "outside of us". I'm in South Africa and it's blocked for the eu

We have been addressing that for the last 3 years. Which CPython modules it does not work with for you? That comment was about something slightly different though - even though ric…
