10 years ago google failed at machine translation and NLP, giving hideous and meaningless statistical translation, same no wonder they fail at language understanding by training algorithm with Indians. They will to do science R&D is lowering every year.


Google's machine translation was terrible years ago, I agree. But it is now much better. Although it's still far from perfect, it has improved lots. Therefore I disagree that Google has failed at that


Nice, good old times Pentium is single core again Core i3 to i7 - all dual core But you have several atom cores so you can run your stuff on them, while windows update taking the main ones.


I would assume the E cores would be running things like Windows Update while you continue to work on mostly the P cores. A general rule is that interactive apps should be scheduled to the fastest cores.


You can now waste your time and money in Windows, Office, Azure and xbox games all with single Live account! Waiting for microsoft to buy junkfood chain and pfizer to complete the experience.


You can’t obviously, but you still can jailbreak ios 9, install any cydia tweaks including desktop, console and emulator apps, as well as downgrade it to ios 6, if more working cydia apps are needed. Of course the are in half dead state, but you still can do whatever you want with iOS (if you know how).


The groups that designates as extremist or terrorist include FBK and Projekt.media who exposing corruption and war crimes of Russia rulers and their oligarch walkets.


So something like Assange.


Yes, except US government does not try to order Google to delist Wikileaks. And has not tried to poison the man. AFAIK.


Hillary Clinton inquired about murdering him with a drone. I'm sure many others were thinking it or saying it. And America has had other people (including its own citizens) executed outside the judicial system.


It prefers drones. Or ruins whole nations killing a scores in a process. I wonder what the victims would tell giving a chance.


Nothing like Assange. All FBK sources are open databases and registries. The corruption in Russia is that obvious.


It is bunch of network devices, servers, oses, services and softwares running by (dev)ops


can we stop using python for web sites in 2022


As opposed to what ? hacked together JavaScript ?

Always use the right tool for the job.

* If you want absolute performance ? - Rust, C, C++

* Mix of performance and ease of development - Go, Java, C#

* Easy development - Python, Ruby, PHP, JS.

And a shitton of other languages in between.


Oh boy! Here we go...

And why's that then?


Depends on the "we".

I will not stop. About three years ago, I put together a small site using Django, at my wife's request. Rewriting it is not a priority.


Python really sucks for large projects. Also, I hate the GIL


What makes it so bad for large projects?


Lack of an interface mechanism, with multi inheritance instead, is messy. This is my biggest complaint that doesn't apply to pretty much all dynamic languages.


What should we use then? C?


It is like people just can’t not to vendorlock even with git.


Eh, they provide a useful service. I wouldn't want to run my own git server.


Honest question, why not?

Its not like that's something that will scale infinitely, you only have so many devs and so many repos to work on, also it's not like it's hard to backup the data, actually, you can bet that you will have a updated copy of every repo on someone's machine if things really go south.

Of all things we can outsource in our infra, git seems one of the least necessary.


Git vaults do a lot more than host remote git repos. Gitlab and github are valuable for everything else they do - the UI, PR management, issue tracking, CI, and so forth.


You don't have to though, that's what makes it so great. Just push with ssh to a directory under /var/www and you're good to go.


Use FTP!


Conversely, services that give access to leave/clone via an open protocol like git are the last ones you should worry about lock-in with...right?

Unless you get too comfortable with the services' tertiary benefits, and that's not lock in — that's just comfort.


Having all of your issue tracking, docs wiki, build pipelines and more be reliant on a platform Ian or just comfort, it’s lock-in. If you ask a company “can’t we just switch from gitlab to github? Or the reverse, you’ll get a million reasons why it’s a huge task, because everything outside of the repo itself isn’t easily transferred.


That is what happens when huge chuck of devs expect to use software as free beer, while the people actually writing those tools need to figure out ways to pay their bills.

A big reason why we are back into timesharing, the free beer is only the thin terminal stuff.


IDK about data sciences but facebook keep blocking guys that have surname Khokhlov, which is coincidental to slightly offensive naming of Ukranians.


Typical Microsoft marketing lie, as in last version of windows, windows 10 mobile devices, windows support and so on. Oh wait, they hire consultant to synergise efforts in OKR and drive innovation in right to repair domain according to management indicatives! That’s will be success for sure. Surfaces are highly custom (and badly) engineered and sold in (tens of) thousands. Nobody wish or able to repair them. Nobody even wish to repair new xboxxses. Macs are sold in hundreds millions and getting fixed easily, despite “evil” apple.
