I wonder how can authors claim such great certainty in their results, after all, it is all based on number crunching. Some floating point error, and similar is bound to creep in...

Can someone more familiar with embedded design explain a bit more on this? Can this really turn cheap motors into industrial level motors suitable for hobbyists?

Is security engineering at the level of black box art, or is it at the level of sound engineering principles that once followed will result in secure system? Everybody is talking about security, but are there some rules to follow or is it a

My personal experience with milder form of depression, is that you can significantly help yourself by stop taking your thoughts that seriously. Everything you think about yourself and the world is just thoughts. So it helps if you go meta

Not just common consumer goods, but say, electrical engineer educated in Germany would be inclined to use Siemens software and hardware, and he/she would need to put extra effort to learn about alternatives.

Speaking of Adidas and geopolitics, they produce all their shoes for Europe in Sanino d.o.o in Derventa, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Cheap labor in war destroyed country... go figure.

While I think it is good for both Germany and students, it probably has a bit of geopolitics mixed in. All those young people, if they return to their home countries, will be naturally more oriented toward German products thus indirectly ma

Just interested in simple mesh algorithms. I feel as if machine learning could help but almost no one is going in this direction. Higher order quad and hex meshing is not a solved problem, and could help in a bunch of numerical physics algo

This seems like a perfect thread to ask a question that is itching me for some time. Is anyone aware of deep learning approaches or some combo with geometry algorithms for mesh generation? Something like quad, hex or tetrahedral meshing aid

What people don't realize is that it is YOUR responsibility to make your research any good. Peer review won't significantly improve your research, and btw it is very rarely constructive criticism, and it certainly doesn't mak

Yeah, it seems like deep learning would be apt here, but couldn't find almost anything. Time for disruption :)

Off topic but related to deep learning. Did anybody encounter use of machine learning in mesh generation, as in 2D, 3D triangular, quad, hex mesh generation?

Anyone else bothered by front of the car? I know it because of aerodynamics, but it just looks weird ...

I agree, but we are also slaves of habit. It takes conscious effort to break out of bad habit, and in context of insanity, or some milder variations of it, one will surely lack clear, focused and non self-defeating frame of mind needed for

Can someone recommend good lectures/book for full stack network programming focused on concepts but with enough detail? Something similar to The Elements of Computing Systems by Nisan & Schocken, but for networks?

And good enough is the enemy of at all. Love this little piece of wisdom from Paul Buchheit.

I was recently looking to get one, and cheapest I could find for Europe was Korean Quoss (model 5300) brand. Don't know however if you want to go for cheap stuff for this item (there are risks, like being electrocuted). On the other ha

Let me give example why physics is hard, using most simple example. Ever encountered term observer (like observer in inertial frame)? Well, it turns out, observer in physics means whole laboratory with established procedures of measuring ti

Can someone explain a bit more on vector space model for words (and documents)? I first saw that approach in prof. Erik Demaine lecture on algorithms [1], and also here. It's fascinating how linear algebra and vector spaces pop up in

You are right. But on some level I don't like that huge disbalance of power, where on one hand you can take a photo with your smartphone, but someone can take a fleet of vehicles and run them 24/7 around globe, photographing every

Thanks for the very informative and detailed answers. The Google TOS seems very restrictive, and I can't quite stomach the idea that our data, including photo of my house, is free to use by big companies in any way conceivable, but on

Is it possible to use images from say Google Street View to reconstruct 3D city model with this tool? Maybe it could fall into fair use for small part of city...
