Coach salaries are rising due to competition among schools for winning (or desirable) coaches as well as increasing profit, particularly among the Power-5 football schools. Football programs at big schools make enough profit to fund other

There's also a lot of research that suggests it's not just how much you practice but how you practice. A recent book, "Peak", covers research into expertise and how deliberate practice is essential rather than just bl

Yes. I had a previously published sci-fi story that won an award. You'll have to be eligible for SFWA membership with at least one pro sale.

It's a more detailed article. I've only done a couple of stories for SciFutures. The topics are interesting. Unfortunately we usually don't get to see what other writers wrote.

From an earlier discussion of it: "The OpenGL calls are sent over the network and transformed into WebGL calls in the browser. It’s not video-streaming. The browser is executing WebGL in a canvas. Textures, buffers, glyphs, etc. are se

Could you elaborate on your comment about modern spatial databases not sequentializing storage along the curve? I would imagine parallel access across the curve, but wouldn't you want some reasonable sequential access at each cluster

by DocSavage 9y ago
Space-filling curves have been studied as a way to reduce N-dimensional space to 1-D. They are very useful for applications like maximizing sequential access in a N-D datastore. A recent SIGMOD paper analyzed space-filling curves impact

The sorted stochastic matrix shows that C contradicts your assumption that it's not possible to switch from a new language to an old one. Or, at least, it shows that portions of new language code are occasionally rewritten in C.

It's pretty remarkable that a remote process could brick everyone's wifi. (Wired ethernet works fine.) Just a very bad thing to allow.

Clearly there is some use of Dart and JavaScript (vanilla, Angular and Polymer). It would be interesting to hear percentages across Google development.

I think you are stereotyping Stanford grads, particularly older ones. There are plenty of Stanford grads outside the US as well as on East Coast, etc. There are also plenty of Stanford grads in medical and science careers. By the time he&

It's not all hype. We are using deep learning to solve real issues in our research, things that might not get done as well due to the representational learning aspect and our relatively small manpower. It's a definite advance wh

Yeah, that is a very long answer to the original question of pixels vs voxels. A pixel is a picture element (2d) and a voxel is a volume element (3d). Also, it's not necessary to take the displayed path, i.e., triangulate a voxel-base
