    Maybe I will try Mokyr. I saw his "A Culture of Growth" is available as an audio book. What do you think about that book? Thanks

    Why do you think that Sweden has almost no start up scene? According to this crunchbase data [1] it has a lot per capita. [1] https://news.crunchbase.com/startups/countries-most-st…

    Nice that this will be open sourced. Maybe the true performance characteristics can be better understood. The press release seems exaggerated or written by marketing, e.g. claiming…

    I could only find a (legal) pdf[1] for $80. Pretty steep price when I'd probably only want to read 2-3 chapters. [1]: Swedish site: https://www.bokus.com/bok/9781009418133/linear-a…

    Thanks for sharing that. AS400 always catches my eye after doing in internship at IBM, working with AS400 back in 2000.

    Two months in and I'm a happy Beelink customer too. My kids mostly use it for Minecraft.

    For the larger performance diffs, has anyone looked into why? Are there a couple of common reasons? I'd really like to know. Thanks

    Interesting. For other readers, this is about an early 80s Texas Instruments computer and not a graphing calculator as I first thought.

    I skimmed your post and I wonder if mojo is focusing on such small 512x512 matrices? What is your thinking on generalizing your results for larger matrices?

    That would be cool. Otherwise, sweepers will need both extra robust tires and to be ready change flats.

    Some boards have decent support. I've got an odroid C1 released in 2015 and I saw there is at least an Ubuntu 20 image for it!

    I've seen that there are Python wrappers for some of CGAL https://github.com/sciencectn/cgal-bindings but I haven't used them.

    Thanks, this brought back some memories. I did an internship / co-op in software engineering at that site in Rochester while a student. They needed extra help so I worked a few eve…

    In Sweden, a significant number of parents with young children who work 80% so maybe that has caused the confusion.

    You can use it for Vehicle Route Problems. I did so once as an interview project but never in production. If you start from some example problem, the learning curve isn't so steep.…

    Thanks! I didn't know that the benchmarking had resumed. Good news. I hope CPLEX and Xpress return someday.

    Aren't there better odroid options if you mainly care about compute?

    It depends on the country and sometimes the institution and program. Here is a price list from a Swedish university with the approx. USD amounts being between $10,000 to $30,000 de…

    I don't know what your new sources are. The rates of death and infection vary a lot between regions in Sweden so any significant herd immunity is probably regional.

    The reviews for vim and emacs miss that you can use the LSP (Language Server Protocol) to get some (or a lot) the code navigation and refactoring support you'd find in VSCode or Py…
