Build tensorflow on OSX with NVIDIA CUDA support (GPU acceleration)

These instructions are based on Mistobaan's gist but expanded and updated to work with the latest tensorflow OSX CUDA PR.

Requirements

OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) or newer

require-from-twitter

Since Twitter doesn't have an edit button, it's a suitable host for JavaScript modules.

How to use

State of String: ABI, Performance, Ergonomics, and You!

Hello, I’ve been working on implementing, optimizing, and improving String in preparation for ABI stability, and I thought I’d share the current status of String in Swift 5 and some potential directions to go. This is the product of conversations with open source contributors and my colleagues on the Swift standard library team at Apple.

The primary area of focus is stabilizing String’s ABI, but we’d be remiss if we couldn’t also fit in performance and ergonomic improvements. String’s ergonomics in particular is one area where we think the status quo is woefully inadequate, and over half of this email is devoted to that topic. At the end, there’s a section about a community initiative that we hope can help users of String as well as guide future development.

(Note: I’m sending this to swift-dev because much of the contents revolve around implementation concerns. I’ll also cross-reference on swift-evolution and swift-users. See also the [StringManife

iOS Shared Cache Extraction

Having fallen off the iOS-exploration train due to completing my Masters and other commitments, I have finally climbed back aboard in pursuit of understanding the telephony stack.

Like most things in iOS that are used frequently, the vast majority of the frameworks and libraries used in the telephony stack reside in the DYLD shared cache located at /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.dyld/dyld_shared_cache_armv7.

In this post I am going to explain how to go about extracting this cache file so that you can then work with each library individually.

Get The Cache

The first step in all of this is to copy the cache over to your local machine. I did this using a program called iExplorer, but you can just as easily do it over SSH. As a side note, you can connect to your iDevice using SSH over USB if you install a tool called iProxy.
