They keep on doing what they love. At some point, I simply cut and pasted the paragraphs of my performance self-reviews and actions for growth from one year to the next and told my manager: “WYSIWYG, you know what you can expect from me, yo

Your first paragraph is absolutist, judgemental, and, frankly, very naive. Our household has very open finances. We have dinner table talks about dollar cost averaging, compounded growth, and investing in broad mutual funds. Kids have a ban

We are in this now. First year in college, still undecided what to do, but interested in something design/art/writing. Our suggestions to choose something that might be profitable was a huge stress factor that pushed her towards d

When not the ears, it's the background. If the real pictures had the background removed, I'd have a very hard time scoring 100%.

Has anybody managed to figure out the license and/or the cost of the software that they're promoting? The website has a front page, an applications page with 1 example, and a read the article page with a numerated bullet point lis

I checked my Amazon orders for the past two months: ~60% of the packages are $10 or less. However, there are a bunch of them that are $50+, and a few expensive packages can compensate for a large number of smaller ones. If my buying pattern

That wasn't the case when I last looked it. IIRC ROCm (in the form of HIP) defines a new C/C++ API that maps to either AMD intrincis or CUDA depending on a compile time flag. It required converting your CUDA source code to ROCm co

If 25% of the population of a town were rapists, would you agree with the characterization that that town is full of rapists and to stay away from there? In my daily sheltered life in the Bay Area, I hardly ever see overt racism. And when

I use caps lock the moment I need to type 2 consecutive upper case characters. Reading through the comments here, it’s amusing to see how many people make assumptions about how things should be just because that’s how they work. Someone abo

Same here: no idea it was on my machine. But it is. It even has the modern look Win 10. I thought it has been sunset by Microsoft years ago.

The title says "JavaScript", but the file extension says ".ts". It doesn't look very Javascript to me. Can anyone clarify?

The way I read it, your initial comment seemed to defend the current system for non-rich people since it allows a few non-rich to take advantage of it (at the expense of other non-rich.)

I can’t stand the policies of Ayn Rand, but don’t hold it against her that she relied on social security at the end of her life. I ask my accountant to make me pay what I own the government in taxes and not a cent more, yet I would have no

Congratulations on making it in. The problem with these kind of discussions is that you can always find examples where the system worked in ways that favored those who would in general not benefit from it. I think there is no question that

From what I've heard from a Swiss friend who moved back from SV with an American spouse: even after correcting for COL, it's a major loss of income. In SV, engineers are at the top of the money food chain, in Zurich, it's ban

cuDNN isn’t open source. > If they don't support OpenCL or Vulkan yet, you can work on it and contribute the feature upstream. It's a matter of getting the ball rolling to start with, nothing more than that. And that’s exactly

CUDA is result of being the first mover in an emerging field over a decade ago. It’s a lock in scheme the way Excel is a lock in scheme for Microsoft: a product that provides value which is used to generate revenue. Using Vulkan(?) or OpenC
