They upgraded the server of course, to as much as they could afford. But it wasn't enough, the rendering load soon caught up. First of all because their number of visitors grew, but also because they wanted to add new features to their JSF pages and every new feature required extra rendering power as well.
Is there any way to do Keras or Tensorflow on AMD or will there be? I know AMD was pushing something new called ROCm or whatever. But I looked at the OpenCL thread on Tensorflow and they seem to be pretending ROCm isn't relevant.

I am considering just using WebGL or something like Turbo.js to experiment with my Radeon hardware for AI.

Maybe AMD should hire some people to work full time on Tensorflow. Anyway at this point next thing I buy will probably be an nvidia card and chalk up the amd graphics card purchase to ignorance. At least I played a few games on it.
Fast? I guess the initial render for everything on the AWS console is fast and the new landing page is much nicer to look at, but many of the APIs take forever and all of the product specific pages still have a Web 1.0 UI.

Apparently on the basic version it connects directly to your mail servers without going through Nylas' cloud. But there are a couple of features which still require the cloud to funtion, snooze etc.

>"and people don't bat an eyelid"

There's been quite a bit of controversy over Intel ME, in discussions with those that know about it at least, so I don't think that's a fair assessment.

It should have been distributed as an optional, removable hardware dongle. There was no need to bake it into the hardware. Same for AMD PSP as well.
I found that course excellent as well - although these days if you don't have the "pro" tier of Codecademy you miss out on the quizzes and other things. Still, it was good and pretty advanced. Learned a lot.

To eliminated any propriety meta data, I just saved a vanilla text file as csv and it gives me the same error.
I use Mashape for monetizing an API. They have great customer service, but it seems like their marketplace hasn't gotten a lot of love in the last few years. Instead they seem to be focused on other things, like Kong.
I do however, think my customers prefer monthly plans instead of a strict per usage billing. It also helps me predict growth in advance.
The closest I've come was a Rails project I inherited from a star developer who had just left the company. It was a B2B project that involved importing large Excel spreadsheets of various different formats into a standardized database for itemized review.

The code was pretty sloppy, but didn't deviate much from standard Rails idioms. Not many people on the team understood Rails well enough to read it, but I did. Bug reports were constantly flooding in. I suggested taking a sprint to build up an integration test suite and then letting loose on the backlog.

We did build up a sufficient test suite in one sprint. But the bug reports never slowed. By the time we had the confidence to truly start tackling bugs at speed, the battle had been lost. We had been so busy writing tests that we forgot to manage the bug tracker. The impression was that we were overwhelmed and unable to make progress. The project was swiftly closed.

People remembered that codebase as an exemplar of sloppy code and technical debt, but that's not the lesson I took from it. I had seen, and others would see later, much worse. The lesson I took was that perceptions are as important to manage as results.
This is true: the firm I work for at the moment just completed buying an incredibly expensive Fortran-based platform. That's despite the fact it cannot integrate with our existing products without serious work, nobody knows Fortran here, and the original developer sold it so he could retire.

So even though it makes no technical sense it bolsters a gap in the product offering, and they'll have to find consultants to limp it along every time they need something small done that would otherwise be very cheap. It's all about the balancing act.

I do agree that QPX was untouchable, but I still think tech debt in competitors was a major factor. There were plenty of smart people at your competitors...I'm sure graph search occured to them. I suspect efforts to green field that were squashed...nobody wanted to throw out the hairball they had because of the existing investment. Thus, they tried to "fix" what they already had...with obviously bad results.

Edit: And, worth mentioning that your competitors wouldn't have had to be better than, or even as good as QPX. "Good enough" would have squashed several big sales, since shopping was typically bundled in with what their customers already paid.
I really wanted an Email client for Linux which isn't power hungry but unfortunately last I tried Nylas - it was always top app in `powertop`. An always running app has to be low on power consumption IMO, but because so many apps are being built on top of webkit/electron most of them pretty much suck when it comes to battery usage.

Another case in point is slack app. On Linux, it is probably the worst app. :(

In the EU we have some countries with Scandinavian-style welfare states, and some without it. And still the EU exists, which seems impossible according to your comment.
Potentially both? An economy dominated by a few massive companies, controlled by a few unaccountable people.
I should have been clearer, the analysts said there would be an immediate meltdown in the UK economy after the brexit vote if it was leave.

That forecast was completely wrong, the opposite has happened.

As it's widely been reported in the UK, in both lefty and righty papers, I'm surprised you've failed to see it. It's been mentioned every time we get a positive growth figure, or an unemployment fall, or whatever.

They did. The court sided against the government. They appealed to the supreme court, whom we are currently awaiting a judgement from.
So Conversations has implemented a feature that isn't in the protocol, but important enough that when the feature doesn't work, users are turned off?

Or it's part of the protocol, but design decisions lead to client interoperability problems?

Maybe there's a third answer, but both of these are problems with XMPP.
No, for several reasons. You might be sure that the value will fall but not know when. There might be short term risks that might make now a sub-optimal time to make that bet. There might be other effects that might mitigate this particular effect - so you might be convinced that Brexit will drive down the pound compared the the value it might otherwise have had, but not know what that price driven by other factors might be. Government intervention might mitigate the effect - George Soros made a fortune betting against the government but many others have lost fortunes the same way. The trading floors eat naive market perfectionists for breakfast.
Back then yes. These days with SSDs, the OS will issue trim commands to the disk, zeroing the blocks from the OS point of view, and on SSDs with "secure delete", from a forensics point of view as well.

I think you have your parents mixed up. Assuming this was for me; I walked you through the logic and am in total agreement that a large part of the rational for the EU was to prevent war in Europe.

My case is that the EU is undemocratic. Therefore when the these two are conflated the resulting inverse is democracy is a war risk. I gave the case of my pro EU German friends but I know many others.

A counter argument would be that the EU is democratic but no one is making that.

Of course America with its democracy exporting foreign policy gives the rational that democracies don't go to war. I understand why the idea that democracy is a war risk is so foreign. (Assuming you're also American)

I'm pro democracy and anti-war and I believe the EU, despite its intentions, is the cause of circumstances that will lead to war. The definition of irony. Already we can see the rise of openly fascist parties, it won't be long until they start winning elections.
I'm not sure if this is the level you're looking for, but if you need a better mental model of SQL, you should take a look at Jennifer Widom's course on Stanford Lagunita on Databases: https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/Engineering/db/2014_1/...

Starting from the relational model and going through SQL really makes the language make sense.

My experience exactly. I used to sell those silly cards the moment I got them, just to get a little extra balance in my Steam account for the next purchase. Now I just ignore them; selling them is way to much of a hassle to be worth the €0,05 you get for a card. (Who buys those things anyway? Weird market.)
I use Nylas but I recently had to move from a 2013 MBP to a 2008 MBP and it shows how unresponsive the UI is. I'd like to use something such as mutt but I find it very unfriendly.
I have totally never done that. If I had done that, I might have been saved by a lack of permissions. Like if I was on a mounted external drive, so not in my home directory and it didn't get too far.

rm -rf ~ /foo

instead of

rm -rf ~/foo

Thing is, and it took me all too long to learn this, Schengen is not what enables foreign workers to enter another EU member nation. It just makes it easier.

I assume you're talking about the triggering of Article 50 - the decision of the Supreme Court case which we are still waiting for on whether Parliament needs to vote before it can be triggered or the Prime Minister can trigger it using Executive Powers.

Well, a critical eye is a must. Just keep away from the noise and pay attention to what would really make an improvement on your current framework/workflow.

For example, I still do my web development in Django or Flask because they do the job, I'm pretty good at Python and most projects don't really need the concurrency Go or Elixir offer.

One of the best recent additions to my skillset was Docker... a lot of people say containers are not a must but they really made my life easier and allowed me to do cool things for clients from different industries.

It doesn't sound as cool as doing machine learning, computer vision or natural language processing, but don't let the AI/VR hype make you anxious, just focus on what you really want to do.

Stop this revisionism.
The ME causes problems for embedded system makers too. If you are making physical devices with Intel CPUs you probably want to replace the Intel MAC addresses with your own. Then you have to fight with the ME to keep it from trying to talk to the internet by itself, using the Intel MAC. If it does, that will freak out some corporate routers. They see two MAC devices on one port and assumes someone has plugged in an unauthorized ethernet switch, and disable the port.
This. It's not like there is a sign saying "Technical Debt Required to Proceed"...but rather the slow death from a thousand cuts to productivity caused by having to analyze every potential system, process, template, stored procedure, etc, etc...to make any stable(ish) change. Even if things are loosely coupled and not dependent on each other...you still have to go in and make those changes. Telling this to a room full of non-understanding management is a whole different challenge...
One other vulnerability arises from how all companies currently implement U2F right now: by setting SMS/app authenticators as mandatory "back-up". So your U2F security will only be as good as that of the SMS/app authentication anyway (until companies stop making this mandatory, at least, and instead require 2 U2F devices to act as back-up for each other - or just allow the user to use one without any backup).

The mental abstraction layer primitive graphics provides may communicate more value than we gain from a near accurate simulation.

I'm not sure if this is because realism in a game contains mostly unnecessary information and our brains don't have to filter all of that out, or it is something else. The part of me that is bearish on VR is for this reason.
>Is this extreme? Putting 140 TDP of CPU heat in a 1U server? Not really. Nick at Stack Overflow told me they just put two 22 core, 145W TDP Xeon 2699v4 CPUs and four 300W TDP GPUs in a single Dell C4130 1U server. I'd sure hate to be in the room when those fans spin up. I'm also a little afraid to find out what happens if you run MPrime plus full GPU load on that box.

What could Stack Overflow be doing that requires such a dense GPU/CPU configuration? I didn't think a commenting site would required that level of parallel processing.

> Why? There are many other vital survival tasks that the overwhelming majority of the world's population cannot perform. This is merely the consequence of living in modern society; such efforts are abstracted away from the consumer. People will educate themselves when such information becomes necessary.

Depending on your climate, food is one of the most pressing thing to acquire if you don't have it. Our human system right now is becoming fragile, because having such a large apparatus around food production and such a small number of people who practice it, a disruption could cause massive starvation. I personally would prefer not to see our species decimated as a result of insufficient latent food production ability not dependent on a massive industrialized base. It is not sufficient for people to learn how to grow in the event of an emergency; you need practice, growing food is not as easy as it seems.

In addition to making our species less fragile, it forces people to eat better, encourages diversity of life, and done properly it makes the environment more attractive.

Electron actually gives you quite a bit of free help for power consumption. The Chromium team goes through great lengths to save power and most of those efforts get reflected in Electron. For example, when it the app gets put in the background it will automatically reduce power usage.

When no javascript is running the app consumes effectively no power.

Now that being said there's nothing to stop developers from running lots of expensive code or being non-performant with rendering. This is true in any environment. However; having access to the type of flame-charts and profiling tools that come with Chrome / Electron go a really long way to addressing some of these issues.

I work at Nylas and we've been heavily focused on reducing the amount of power the app consumes. We've still got a lot of work to do, but at the end of the day processing a ton of email quickly is a fairly expensive operation.

In the long run it's possible to offload very expensive work to natively compiled modules. A lot of Electron projects do this and can use Node's native bindings to connect to processes that really need to be fast in native code.

An app that doesn't do anything in the background won't use any resources, doesn't matter if it is built on webkit/electron.

Without these taking off, the Linux desktop would be dead for me.
> But this thing about GIMP having a UI that's _objectively_ bad is just unsupportable IMO.

I don't mind GIMP's UI being different from Photoshop. I last used Photoshop over a decade ago and that would be plenty of time to adjust to any good UI. The things that annoy me about GIMP's UI are things like the focus always being in the wrong place so I have to use the mouse, or windows being placed over things I need to see, or having to reselect my font styling every time I retype something. The problem isn't that Photoshop does something different, it's that what GIMP does is bad. I happily use Blender's UI even though it's like nothing else on Earth.

Edit: Just so I don't come off entirely as an ungrateful asshole, I use GIMP regularly and I appreciate the work that goes into it. I just get tired of people claiming there's nothing wrong with the UI, when there so clearly is. Single Window Mode was a huge step in the right direction IMO.
Also, it's 7$ per month.
Yeah we haven't done much testing on 9 year old laptops. It seems fast enough on machines from the last 3-4 years.
Its certainly OK for a product to innovate, as GIMP has. But sometimes the differences are gratuitous. That doesn't help with GIMP adoption, because admit it, most folks have some exposure to Photoshop already.

Further, GIMP suffers (as many mature products do) from a certain baroque-ness of feature. Its menus and features have grown from someplace less mature, to where they are. And it shows in the clumsy menus that make sense if you went along for the ride but for a 1st-timer are just confusing.
