I don't know about the battery controller, all of it works with Linux (System76 is a Linux retailer after all).

It depends on what you're doing of course. Normal usage (playing music/Youtube, browsing firefox, coding, opening up some PDFs) gives me about 6-8 hours I'd say, I get about 3 hours of (modded) minecraft, which is quite the b

There's System76, which are basically pre-loaded Clevo laptops (which are sold under many different names). I have the Galago Ultrapro and am quite happy with it. Good battery life, fast, user-serviceable and a calibrated IPS screen.

It's nice to see an article about GA, I've been working on them myself recently, fascinating stuff. However the definition of Tournament Selection[1] is a little bit off. With tournament selection you don't take the fittest &

Are commuters to blame for the poor working conditions in the public transport industry? No. Do commuters suffer when conductors go on strike? Yes. Does it work? Yes. Does complaining to your boss work? No. Its unfortunate but at the end of

He is already doing job B, while on paper it still says A. (fulltime work without benefits for an hourly wage comparable to an intern). That's the problem.

Don't worry, he was using C and he defined THEN as an empty macro statement.

>I also find it odd that it wasn't until the 1990s that global warming became a 'thing.' It was a thing in modern science since the 1940s. Which is about as early as you could gather statistically significant data [1]. It

A whole lot of words for very little actual content. For one the article recognizes that there has been a response from the opposite party saying: "the way this wholesale manipulation of the official temperature record – for reasons GH

Informally, a dram is usually just a regular (perhaps smallish) serving of scotch. Usually between 1 and 2 fingers high in a regular scotch glass.

It's a shame the article missed them, but while they may not be as prevalent security and game programing do have their own academic departments these days. Often times they are placed under the "CS department", but that is t

You are absolutely right on the fact that it doesn't, but I have seen plenty of people claim that high-level languages absolve you from having to think about memory. Wikipedia says: >"[High level languages] may [...] automate (

>I wonder if you can be truly depressed if you don't fear anything? I would say yes, often times depression manifests itself not as a feeling of fear or dread but as apathy. See for example Hugh Laurie's personal life [1,2] or

I absolutely adore Krita, it really is one of my favourite programs. It's very intuitive in its controls and very good at "getting out of the way" when you're painting. For example, it has a quick-selection wheel that po

The thing with math (and abstract CS) is that it's generally purely logic. In principal you should be able to write (at least verify) an entire article with no outside references as it is all logical deductions, it's armchair scie

Basically the whole package. The instruction set is pretty big, but this is not much of an issue as you generally just need a subset for a given problem (I generally only tweak SSE/AVX code) and it has a lot of if's and but's

It is my understanding that it sits in between a GPU and a CPU in terms of "ideal work". Like a GPU it favours SIMD work, but it is better at dealing with branches and a lot of random memory accesses[1] (it still favours linear wo

I'd say the real problem is the fact that the affordable ones you mention, tend to have terrible specs apart from resolution (and latency). Low contrast, bleeding, terrible colour representation. At least that was my experience.

And aside from the health benefits, it's also better for both the environment and your wallet (and it's fun).
