Now that nvidia owns a full switch OS, I wonder if this means that Onix, which they inherited from their Mellanox acquisition, will eventually be phased out. We’ve been running Onix just because it’s cheaper than Cumulus (read: no yearly c

According to our creative director, the Surface’s digitizer is significantly worse than the Wacom one. iirc the first generation Surface licensed Wacom technologies, but in subsequent generations Microsoft switched to their in-house nTrig w

The Nvidia one looks quite a bit nicer than your average eBay ruler though... full 12", two color silkscreen, ENIG finish, and some crazy tiny-pitch BGA footprints. The component layout is also not haphazard like most of the other rule

Other JVM languages are technically allowed, but AFAIK they generate way too much scaffolding & reflection-based flow such that you end up burning your entire bytecode computation budget just in calling one or two functions. So yes, you

The "watch" links let you watch the actual battle simulation results in a really old viewing engine written almost 6+ years ago in Adobe Air. It was amazing at the time since you didn't have to install the full Java client ju

Isn't the finickiness related to power consumption? USB is only rated up to 500mA, so drawing too much power from the Raspberry Pi's own USB port will cause all sorts of havoc especially when the RPi itself is powered off another computer'

Yeah navigation via A* / other traditional algorithms is almost always a no-go in Battlecode because of the way the bytecode limitation works. You almost always have to create some extremely custom pathfinding algorithm tuned to the constra

For those that are interested, the new 2013 release is now live[1]. Should be a fun game this year -- enough spec changes that even seasoned Battlecode veterans will have to sit down and think quite carefully about how to write a bot. Share

any chance you could bake in functionality for WTForms instead? since a number of flask users use that as a form handling library.

Here's one way of doing it with a PCR machine: 1. First find a risk gene of interest. You can find a gene name via flipping through scientific articles about the disease, and then finding the exact sequence of the gene on NCBI ( http://www.

Yup. Highschool / Undergraduate labs that teach PCR with two water baths and a stopwatch really kill a lot of the "magic" bestowed on these absurdly expensive machines.

I think it's also useful to note _just_ how versatile a PCR machine is in biotech. If every EE hacker needs an oscilloscope, every bioengineer hacker needs a PCR machine. PCR is good for much more than just amplification -- a huge number
