I can't think of a single time I've needed a large collection of "backup" methods in case of a chain of failures; I can't even think of an example which could scale to 100. Anyways, this solution does scale: m

ThinkPad T480 with touchscreen - runs Kubuntu well. Audio is terrible, but I like USB-C charger, builtin ethernet, & removable battery. I was able to upgrade the SSD and it was a pretty good experience, if you're into that.

Gor Nishanov, one of the authors, talks about this in his CppCon2018 talk https://youtu.be/j9tlJAqMV7U (jump to ~12:33 to skip background). It amounts to using CPU prefetch instructions with C++ coroutines to simulate hyper

The "as-a-service" was meant to be funny, but I have found that it is often difficult to find special-purpose scientific software (with adequate build system) mentioned in papers online, without sneakernet/emailing the auth

As a QGP scientist, it's nice to see the work coming out of heavy ion theory & accelerator experiments (those at RHIC and LHC) cross-pollinate to other areas such as astrophysics/astronomy. In particular, they use the predicti

If you use isinstance(x, (int, float)) instead of type(x) == int then I think you'll find your expected behavior. When you say type narrowing do you mean floats should be automatically interpreted as int? There is typing.{SupportsInt,

I'm not sure if you mean "user" or "reactOS devs". If the latter, I can't be sure (besides the fact it's modern and has plenty of features), but as a user, I chose btrfs for its "subvolumes". Wit

The new importlib.resources[0] module is a nice solution for accessing static data-files within a package/module. It replaces pkg_resources (or perhaps, standardizes/guarantees-presence) and is supposed to be more efficient. There

The use of the term "pure energy" always grates me; it gives the impression that energy is an entity unto itself, which is not the case. I realize that it's used as a proxy for photons most of the time, but I still always thi

After speaking with someone who knows, "freedom" here relates to "freedom from the manufacturing restrictions that make it hard to be an independent designer". Apparently things like production minimums are one of the ma

Yeah, the unique_ptr<T> enforces move semantics and can be "borrowed" via get() (but unlike rust, further borrowing/moving rules are not enforced by C++). This post is an explanation of how to write your own class which

Actually, it shouldn't matter. A trailing dot in a hostname signifies a fully-qualified domain name, rather than a relative domain name. Without the dot the router's dns service could technically return 'cbc.ca.some.other
