The real challenge with CNTFETs is mass production. Without that, the roadmap doesn't budge.

"The man page answers that" could probably be the OpenBSD motto.

I think the desirability of eliminating this kind of bias depends on the context of the problem that the algorithm would be used to solve. Per your example, suppose that strength is what an algorithm is predicting . We might not want the a

QR code doesn't actually need connectivity, but its standard capacity is limited, so it's usually only used for small data like URIs and serial numbers. In principle, though, there's nothing stopping anyone from encoding a PD

It's not crazy at all. This sort of shuffling is pretty standard for RISC ISAs, where it's typical to have fixed-length instructions that are no larger than the registers. For example, MIPS has no actual "load immediate"

No, please. Managing your tabs is not the site's job, it's yours or your browser's, such as you choose to split that labor. In most modern browsers, manually opening a new tab simply means middle-clicking or Ctrl+left-clickin

Indeed. Given the actual state of the science, it's arguably irresponsible to make unqualified claims about "exercise". Doubly so if the claim is being made with regard to an individual or small group rather than a large popu

It really depends on how deep you want to go. This is a topic that requires tunneling through surprisingly few layers before you hit quantum mechanics. I haven't gone through it, but "From NAND to Tetris" [0] is often recomme

This is still cool, but has anything updated lately? I don't see anything newer than the Atari 2600 simulation, but I also can't get the "Recent Changes" page on the wiki to show anything, so I might be missing something

The C++ Programming Language, 4th Ed. https://isocpp.org/tour has PDFs of the first four chapters, which offer something of a breadth-first overview of C++11.

Quick summary: it's a treaty that requires all member states to enforce their own copyright laws for works produced in other member states, and also establishes a minimum set of rights and minimum term lengths.

The total number of people with at least one chronic medical condition is pretty huge (possibly even a majority), which gets obscured because we usually only talk about prevalence for individual diseases/disorders.

I don't think Swizec was trying to say that cardio is better than lifting, but rather that a high volume of exercise is needed to burn a lot of energy. A lot of people go to the gym, but mostly do it for the social meaning of "goi

P.E. did expose me to many sports. I didn't really like any of them; some were more tolerable than others, but that's hardly equivalent to enjoyment. I don't dislike physical activity in itself (though it was practically impo

How many sports must one try before being allowed to conclude that "a sport you enjoy" isn't in the cards?

I think the problem is that the implementation process -- creating an actual exercise program -- is quite non-obvious. As far as I know, the studies that have been done on the dose-response curves of various exercises have reached somewhat

It occurs to me that sharding shares most of these disadvantages. It avoids the problem of "you no longer read from your source of truth", but the overall complexity and set of failure modes looks strikingly similar. I wonder how

Also be sure to note the infinite-scrolling "you may also like" section, which starts with regular clickbait, then starts repeating "stories", then... gets worse.

It doesn't ignore those people at all; it just suggests that "healthier habits" is relative to an individual's baseline rather than being uniform throughout the population.
