I wanna see this guys awesome contribution to software in code. We all know and have seen Carmacks code in public. What has this guy written in public. If his master piece is closed source, better not to put him on a pedestal.
He has a stage, not a pedestal. As with most things people say you should keep an open mind and decide for yourself what the value is of what they are saying.
There are plenty of well known figures which have only created closed source stuff. Take Dave Cutler for example of Windows NT fame.
You'll have to admit it's easier to grasp/grok someone's philosophy when they show code as examples. Kevlin Henney for instance is not as known as Martin Fowler, but illustrates clearly his points with code examples. I don't say Martin Fowler and Dave Cutler are not worth recognition, but the abstraction level needed to comprehend them from the bottom up is too high that you can't clearly see what they are talking about _unless you've been there_
That's the feeling I get when I hear them
I dont really partake in programming "wars", but the idea of launching a set of separate processes instead of separate threads to do a bunch of IOs has always seem to be weird to me. Yes, I have built software using Python. Yes, I have done things as you suggest. Now I use asyncio, since the syntax has matured and I finally understand coroutines, runners, tasks etc. Lets see where the GIL less Python takes us.
I'm confused. If you're doing a "bunch of IOs" then that's the situation where people use threads in Python, not processes. The argument for processes in Python is CPU-bound workloads.
Would love to but I don’t think academia will want masters at least and years of industry experience will be discarded completely. I have 6 years experience in data intensive IoT applications and yet that would not be considered useful by academia
I left academia for that reason; there was no advancement path that didn’t involve more advanced degrees, and that wasn’t something I was interested in at the time.
Not read the article, but I have few questions for kind folks who read it.
1. Was the study a human study or mice study?
2. If the study was human, how long should one fast for?
3. If the study was done on mice, what would be the equivalent hours of fasting in humans to observe same benefits? For example, rats fasted for 3 days experience autophagy, but rats would die if fasted for 5 days, so that 3 day cannot be applied to humans without an equivalent inflation of the time frame.
3. Was fasting the trigger or the resultant calorie restriction?
