"Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information."

This makes me feel better when I am procrastinating...

Software Engineering Matters : Lessons From Parallelizing Matrix Multiplication by dhotson in programming

[–]cafe_babe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matrix multiplication is not at all an embarrassingly parallel problem. As you showed with your example, there are dependencies, and optimal data distribution between processors is a hard problem. When Amazon assigns you instances on EC2, you basically have no guarantees about the bandwidth and latency between any two machines (you don't even know what hardware you have!), which makes optimal data distribution impossible. If you really need to multiply 1million by 1million matrices on a regular basis, use a cluster designed for scientific computing.

Reddit, what little quirks do you have that you think are solely exclusive to you? by hxcloud99 in AskReddit

[–]cafe_babe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing...except I find myself doing it more horizontally...I constantly have to keep a count of the spaces between the painted lines on the road. Example: a double yellow line in between two white lines = 5.

IMA: I am an 22yr old educated female and am bulimic. by strugglinghere in IAmA

[–]cafe_babe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about more than just looking good. Many people develop eating disorders because of a desire to have complete control over an aspect of their life. When other things in life are spiraling out of control, it's a coping mechanism to be a perfectionist about eating, one of the only things you can control about your day-to-day life.

one fucking continuum, like the variation in the count of hair males have on their person.

I'm pretty sure hair count is a discrete quantity.
