Same, I have been using snap to run Firefox and Chromium for about more than a year (personal usage, not professional), and rarely had issues. I had one issue regarding a feature like WebGL or a file picker, but it was solved after 5 minute

Question regarding Fedora : I tried it in a docker environment. During some googling to troubleshoot issues, several results were found on the Red Hat commercial support website (so, not accessible). I'm afraid that a good part of adva

SIMD instructions as we know them today do not make a consensus among the actors and architectures. See : https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linus-To... That makes them harder to implement in compilers

Good reading ! It would be interesting to have other similar challenges, such as Euler, solved in idiomatic Tensorflow and Pytorch. Also some examples of more complicated state-of-the-art algorithms, such as sorting/graph/trees al

To me, the downside of graph db is the non-standardized query language. I tried Gremlin but it feels like an imperative DSL. Cypher queries are more readable, but are limited to Neo4J. I am looking forward for Open Cypher or maybe a variati

Another way to look at it : if an "AI" can predict what you would code next, it means your program is probably not that innovative, and was already created somewhere.

That doesn't look like a "leak", but more like the usual mass scraping of APIs. An actual data leak from a breach would contain password hashes and private messages. It means somehow, people can access that "leaked"

The way I understand the comment : With an interpreter, the JavaScript source is compiled to some bytecode, then the bytecode is executed in a loop, instruction by instruction. With a compiler (not jit), the whole bytecode would be further
