I wonder how stable those libraries mentioned are, and how much RAM is needed, because I cannot run LLMs at all on my Pis.

You aren't at a subsidiary, obviously. As the tide shifts to pushing Azure, the sales people are going ballistic and circle customers like sharks, with insane targets.

I joined a short while ago and deeply regret it, since all we do is sales. Even OSS is treated as a pure sales play.

macOS runs a BSD-like userland atop a Mach kernel. It's not Linux, but it is a damn sight more field-tested and reliable than the Windows kernel...

I'm actually surprised at the question, considering the number of devs who work on macOS (and I'm not talking about front-end folk).

Some of the Mac people I follow seem to be begging Apple to build a PC-like box:

Marco does iOS development, and there are a number of features that simply won't run on a Hackintosh. Anything involving crypto is dicey, and stuff that relies on (for instance) having an official serial number (like iMessage) will also fail.

But that is irrelevant for a lot other use cases.

Believe me, it's not. Even when the userland gets updated to 16.04, it's still heavily dependent on the Windows kernel, and the networking stack (for example) will not be the same.

The WSL will never replace a native Linux OS. Period. But it will be pretty useful for some lighter use cases. As a dev, I'm still not convinced it's good enough, given the recent issues with Ruby and Node.

Went ahead and downloaded Xamarin Studio for the Mac. Still has an "Enterprise Trial" button, and apparently I still have to login to activate it.

It annoys me to no end that I have to log in to Visual Studio as well (even Community) for it to even open a project, and I wish both Microsoft and Xamarin were more respectful of our privacy.

Yeah, well, that's a first world problem, clearly. That 1.5% isn't true for their target market.

It's not. It's a completely different codebase.

no mention of gevent, celery, etc. As someone who runs thousands of concurrent tasks in a mix of process/gevent (one UNIX process for each 100 greenlets across 48 cores on two boxes), I find the OP's toliling rather misguided.

are you going to include gevent (I.e. bottle/flask + gunicorn with gevent workers, and uwsgi + gevent workers) ?

i don't see any mention of uwsgi or gevent in these benchmarks. Deploying Python apps without properly configuring the container/webserver will skew the results considerably (probably applicable to a couple of other entries as well).

Anyone care to weigh in about using this vs., say, TastyPie?

Ha. Good one. And eminently practical advice, too.

I actually came across this on a footnote here:

http://the.taoofmac.com/space/blog/2013/02/10/1230#an-arm-on...

Note that the guy got Ubuntu 12.04 running on an ODROID board using a similar technique from a prebuilt image. So it's apparently a very easy thing to get going...

The OP obviously never read this: http://the.taoofmac.com/space/HOWTO/Switch

(Covers all his gripes and a few more - the bit about Alt-Tab and some of the Quicksilver tips are amazing)

I think that's precisely the point the author was making. Google could set up shop there and build a massive development centre that would make it easier for them to do stuff for Latin America and Africa - and yet they don't, other than a dinky office selling AdWords.

Probably because Adium tries to do too much, whereas iChat comes with the OS and does the job.

AFFILIATE LINK SPAM! Mods please remove the link, or replace it with something neutral.

What is the question again? You end your post with two Boolean questions, either of which might be construed as being your point.

(and yeah, I don't think this is a good use of polls either - this is Hacker _News_, and if people post stuff about Apple and it gets up voted, then that's because it's of general interest regardless of your, erm... Techno-religion.)

Apple can be pretty irritating at times. I wonder what surprises I'll have a year or so down the road with my iPhone 4 (not, erm... "ass").

WARNING, AFFILIATE LINKBAIT!

This reads like misinformed linkbait. Just the right amount of empathy to get you to the naysaying, and then ignorance of what Tim Cook did for the company in the last 14 years.

Yes, that would make sense. The site I got this from (http://the.taoofmac.com) mentions using PyPy on all machines to run it (which is effectively Python 2.7.1 at this point), but then again, you have to match versions very closely when you're using Hadoop and HDFS anyway... Python is actually easier to deploy in matched runtimes across a cluster :)
