09/03/2015, 6:38 AMI have no clue - internal code name for a custom hardware build - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:38 AMnoisy, broke down - r

09/03/2015, 6:38 AMah - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:38 AMbut you dogfooded prod - r

09/03/2015, 6:38 AM“commodity" - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:39 AMmakes sense - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:39 AMwell - they do custom boards and the like - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:39 AMya, we have a few of those now - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:39 AMI was talking to some guy working on arm stuff at Twitter - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:40 AMmobile? or server - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:40 AMAt any rate - get setup working to build a local pex that runs as fast as the current, ie within <100ms for any given op like ./pants help, etc - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:40 AMand I'm psyched - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:40 AMThat guy was server - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:41 AMsome low power experiment thing - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:41 AMah yeah, they were dabbling with SoC and such for a bit - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:41 AMI know they just built out a crazy new class of GPGPU machines for Cortex - r

09/03/2015, 6:41 AMdeep learning - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:41 AMcool! - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:42 AMsounds good on pex stuff - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:42 AMI think it’d be good to at least experiment a bit with it - see what we can work up - e

09/03/2015, 6:43 AMThe hard problem on the setup front is respecting python_setup and python_repos - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:43 AMThe current one does not, just plugins are loaded from there - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:43 AMthe pantsbuild.pants base comes from pypi full stop - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:43 AMso that's not good - b

09/03/2015, 2:49 PMLate to convo, but strongly = John on not using PEX as a distribution format for pants - b
bored-art-40741
09/03/2015, 2:50 PMAlso I love live-editing third party code within virtualenvs when I'm debugging. It's a mega boon when you're not sure where a bug is being introduced or what the state looks like deep in library code you don't own - b
bored-art-40741
09/03/2015, 2:51 PMBut as John said, the major thing is that PEX is not good for distributing to arbitrary platforms - c
cool-thailand-74745
09/03/2015, 3:23 PMI edit code in pexes all the time - c
cool-thailand-74745
09/03/2015, 3:26 PMit's arguably simpler than in virtualenvs because the deps are isolated within .deps whereas they're all splat into the same site-packages dir in virtualenvs but shrug personal preference - r

09/03/2015, 11:02 PMwould anyone object to adding a new spec format that would mean ‘all addresses in a given BUILD file’? like /path/to/x:: but with no recursion. /path/to/x::: maybe?
