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://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/insid

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 makes everyone more likely to invest on top of your service.

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 could easily be done in almost any stack. If you&#x27

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 more than average about firefox).

He didn't post it by mistake. He asked Visual Studio to create a private repo and it created a public one. A bug which he reproduced.

The sources I could find say 4% is used for plastic and another 4% for the energy to make the plastic. Nowhere near 50%. http://www.plasticoceans.net/the-facts/energy-consumption/

Found this after Joël tweeted the quote "The dilemma every artist confronts, again and again, is when to stick with familair tools and materials, and when to reach out and embrace those that offer new possibilities." So true. If t

"This method takes a foo object, applies HTML encoding, and returns an array of the original and the clean code." could be a 3-line unit test that's just as clear to read, but has the side effect of actually being true instead of maybe bein

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 that comments for that function are bad! They'll rot if you

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 worse. Hot code reloading lets you avoid any downtime at al

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 forking and gracefully killing old processes. If your requirement

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 insane. Hopefully Chris will write more about his setup som
