What I always wonder about Brave New World is if Huxley was right when he portrayed the people in charge of the BNW's system as being convinced they were doing the right thing, as opposite to the 1984's "evil" party.

Whenever I try to search for graphic programing related issues with Rust, there is a game with the same title that fills up the result pages.

"Correct" ones would be those which actually maximize your outcome, while "rational" ones would be the ones are which you infer they will maximize your outcome from the information you have available.

I think you are also applying a biased viewpoint. Your are assuming rational decision making always leads to "correct" decisions. Statistics and rationality merely work by measuring current events against your previous experiences

It avoids error whenever possible. For example, if you are working with pure fractions the result will be exactly representable and you'll end with 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 instead of some approximation.

And he's right about the rest? Because that guy's recruiting slides look like "What every HR manager actually thinks but will never say".

They should instead have integrated a CPU into their graphics card like AMD do with those APUs, which they sell to every consoler maker, and NVIDIA do with their Tegras, for high spec smartphones.

They also show a common culture among the Chinese territories prior to the Qin's unification.

Of course. If a university computer science course is unable to teach its students how to program, there is something wrong with the course, not its students.

In my experience the response depends much more on the person being asked than on who is making the question. In general, the people who actually understand the subjects will try to help others, while those who are hiding their own ignoranc

I don't think the title matters as much as the actual content. The writer seems to think her issues were quite gender specific, when they are actually what have happened to pretty much every student who cares more about what she/h

I'm kinda puzzled there is nothing in-between a C dialect and Java for desktop applications.

You don't need a C standard library to run programs on Linux (nor any other system). My guess is that the Rust team consider that relying on a well tested C codebase is safer than writing tons of unsafe platform-specific code, to repla

From a science-fiction point of view, the movie is underwhelming in what is related to the ever-present scanners of the book.

>There are no subjunctive tenses (with one tiny exception). I don't see the problem with making the verb express how probable or feasible the action is, aside from the fact that you have to remember how to conjugate the verb instead

But that's different, because in Argentina they have replaced the second person and "tú" by the third person and "vos". For them it's not a formal addressing at all. However, I won't deny that for most Spa

For most situations, having the verb matching in person and number with the subject is enough redundancy. Conjugating also the gender bring the problem that every single thing you can name needs to carry a gender even if the concept of &quo

Well, using "abs()" for it would be a bad idea, because "|x|" (or "||x||") means "whatever is the distance I've defined between two elements of this particular space". For all that I know, the on

Maybe it's me, but I've always find physics' mathematical notation highly inconsistent, like if every author felt the necessity of inventing his own notation and overloading every well-established operator. Mathematicians ten

>Writing |x| for abs(x) (abs() is obviously a function, it shouldn't have special notation) >Calling abs "modulus" Both of those are because the absolute value of a number is the norm of the one-dimensional space.
