For what it's worth, it works fine in Python 3.5.

Who did their best work before 20? I looked up a bunch of Greek philosophers, and it doesn't seem to apply to any of them. Socrates was in the military during his early life, and Aristotle did his most famous work late in life.

So why do those "cheap USB to parallel port converters" only work with printers?

I understand that you pull the podcasts from those sites, but I was specifically asking about the people.

So how do people get added to this site?

As someone in the field, I don't think there are any texts at below the level of Koller/Friedman. Universities rarely if ever teach graphical models to students below the level at which Koller/Friedman is appropriate.

As I understand it, this is a bot AI, and not a unit AI. Am I wrong?

One thing I'd like to see improved is the unit AI, which is frustratingly poor. This would probably annoy some serious multiplayers, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I find it most interesting that it's apparently no problem to find doctors willing to prescribe ADD medicines to healthy university students. (I can't imagine black-market Adderall being affordable for students.) Is there no sort

Here's a video about a 14-story building like this in Norway. The video is from last year, but it was completed just this month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5XsqauBCX4 For those of you who understand Norwegian or

I can't imagine that being the fault of anything other than your carrier -- I'm Norwegian, and I don't think I pay any more for roaming (about 0.05 USD per MB) in the EU than EU citizens do. I visited Switzerland a few years

It is sort of touched on later in the article, but the first graphic, showing the number of native speakers for each language, isn't very useful. The statistic that better measures the utility of knowing a language is the total number

Between this and JetBrains' unpopular licensing changes, this has been a bad week for Czech software companies. The only thing that could top it would be allegations that Bohemia Interactive are selling military simulators to North Kor

>In those days, a directory in UNIX was a file that contains a list of file names and some indication of where they are located (p. 169). There was no opendir or readdir; you just opened the directory as a file and read a sequence of str

This is really too bad -- Norway has a severe lack of software product companies. Most graduates end up in one of the country's many consulting outfits, both due to the lack of positions in product companies and because those that do e

I think you will find that most of those movies are several years old or more. A while back, new management in Disney changed the company's strategy to focus less on churning out a bunch of direct-to-video sequels to make some easy buc

You could ask the same question about companies such as Novell or Sun.

I criticized the article below, but I'd like to note that the study about the café was done by Dutch researchers, not Americans.

The most odd and/or concerning thing here is that the buyers are naive enough to be fooled by a few white people standing around in otherwise empty buildings. I'm sure those random expats they rented aren't exactly top actors

The big difference between Austria and Germany is striking. It would be interesting to see Germany's pie chart by region.

Why the motion trails? The Mario example doesn't have them and I can't recall any extreme motion trails from my days of playing console games on CRT TVs.

What's the deal with std::experimental? Does the "experimental" part means they shouldn't be used in production code?

It's somewhat amusing that Amazon is on the list with a death date of July 10, 2001. How were Amazon ultimately saved before that point?

Yeah, see my edit. I didn't realize that all the satellites providing Internet access were in geostationary orbit until after I posted my comment. Reading Wikipedia, it seems Internet access through LEO satellites is possible today, bu

The hundreds of kilometers between the Earth and the satellites must surely be a drop in the bucket with regards to latency. After all, the distance between Europe and the US is roughly 6000 km at the minimum, nevermind the distances to Aus
