I think they could - in fact I'm starting a PhD in a similar area soon! It's a matter of providing a high level enough programming language (e.g. Haskell) and a smart enough compiler that can automatically parallelise sections, an

The best thing to do would probably be to ask people on places like r/london, as (like the article says) London can have great areas right next to less nice areas.

A very touristy, and one dimensional view of London, and very different to my impressions of London. The author has clearly only really tried to experience the food and culture of the very centre, and likely only lived there as well. The on

exactly my attitude towards them - modern compilers will generally optimise simple functions like "min" so that they're just as efficient as macro equivalents. For example, for a project that I did, I needed specific access m

Do you have any sources for the Go playing? I only ask out of interest, as it'd be something the BGA would be very interested in knowing I think...

One quote that struck me was this: > For too long, we have taught computer science as an academic discipline (as though all of our students will go on to get PhDs and then become CS faculty members) even though for most of us, our studen

This is what annoyed me most about the whole Swift presentation. Swift is not in any way shape or form innovative, in terms of language features or design. It is however, another language that aims to be as productive as possible, while s

The inventor of the algorithm actually has a really good website with a good overview and history: http://www.aco-metaheuristic.org/

Yes - but drawn by the physics department at the best university in Europe for astronomy.

There's also more information at http://ordered-universe.com/ - the original site for the project.

Well technically it's more like the humanities people asked the physicists to help them interpret his ideas using todays scientific language. If you read Grossetestes original writings, even when translated into english, they read very

by 14113 12y ago
Yes. It provides a lot of information about the history of science. Most importantly, Grosseteste was one of the first to use what we now think of as the scientific method, and (I believe) the first to suggest a 'big bang like' st

For anyone interested in more information on this topic the project has it's own website: http://ordered-universe.com/ I actually worked on this project over last summer, as an intern in the computer science department

As I mentioned elsewhere, this is also better for who this book is aimed at - poorer people. They generally have less disposable time on top of lack of money, so will prefer less time consuming, but more expensive meals (such as fast food

by 14113 12y ago
I think this is very important for the market they're targeting as well (people on food stamps). An often overlooked aspect of poverty is how time consuming it is. Instead of clocking off work at 5, going home, cooking and relaxing,

Except fullscreen apps are actually a bit more than maximised windows: They remove both the top of the title bar and other operating system bars, leaving just the control interfaces, and content. For example, chrome would just have the tabs

It is - as someone else in the thread mentioned it makes a profit from each patent granted.

I suspect it's because iOS devices feel far more disposable than ones main work computer. By that I don't mean in a product design sense, but in a data loss sense. People are used to the idea that their phone might lose their cont

My personal issue with pocket is that there's no way to search by article tag, only by the content of the article.

C is the same, but at least with C it's possible to declare functions before providing definitions. Is it possible that it's the same in bash?

Presumably would require cross compilers for each architecture, but it would be very interesting to see what you could do with it, for example comparing side by side.

Ah, that does sound interesting! Thanks for the more concise explanation!

by 14113 12y ago
The paragraph you've posted there is very helpful - it gives me more of an idea of what the product as a whole does, and it does sound really quite interesting! Even doing something like including that at the top of the current website

I hate this trend that startup homepages seem to be going through. They don't seem to actually explain what their product is . All I can see from this page are a load of assertions that either: A) It's not the same as thing X B)

It specifically states it in the readme that Huginn is a reference to the raven.

Just to note, Edwin was the original author of Idris, so I'd definitely recommend watching his talk. Edit: Given that my comment seems fairly high at the moment, I'll post a link to his PhD thesis, which seems to be the genesis of

More importantly - go to a sports shop where they have trained professionals who can adequately assess your needs, and depend on them for advice - not a stranger on the internet.

You missed the point of the quote - it's diversity between social groups, not between race. It's likely that all the employees in the tech sector are of a similar earning potential, a similar age, and have similar upbringings and

afaik there is a javascript port of Box2d, the engine this is based on - so it wouldn't be too difficult to add the particle code to it.

Sort of - we don't know if NP problems are hard for computers to solve, that's really the whole question! Technically, P is a subset of NP. Problems in NP have answers (called certificates) which can be verified , or checked, usi
