If I am not mistaken, aparapi included some templates where those low-level aspects were hidden. The runtime can be added via a jar file, but lambda-based operations must be converted to OpenCL/Cuda/PTX/LLVM or other low-leve

Back in 2010 I worked on a user-library and preprocessor that did the same thing [1]. Had exactly the same restrictions. Classes are supported if they act as dumb structs. Recursion is now supported in CUDA via dynamic parallelism (or fakin

For me this would mean a python project (graal bindings within CPython) and not a Python implementation. CPython Pypy Jython IronPython I would now go with GraalPython (GrPython or GPython)

Given how large those systems are, how much layers (OS) of code there are, and the turn-over in software companies, I am pretty confident that no single engineer know everything about.

I remember this study about the use of final and const keywords in Java/C. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2884798&CFID=985095807&CFT... It's a small example, maybe it's a start.

It uses a depth sensor. And they have trained the neural networks to prevent using 3d printed masks instead of the real face. I guess they are using depth-ir-powered-video instead of still photos.

I am a PhD in CS, specifically in Programming Languages and Parallel Programming and I believe I do get scientific computing. Most people doing it did not have a formal CS education. They are biology, physics, mathematics or chemistry major

I tested the machine at Codebits and I had that same first impression. But after a while I got it: it was the pedal tuning and not some communication delay.

You should blog about it. I am really interesting in knowing your workflow and the reasons.

Yes, you should use unit tests in FP. Traditionally you build larger functions on top of small ones, and you might change the later. Unit tests guarantee that the larger functions still work after those changes. Also, in Haskell, I prefer t

My solution is a bit plainer and simpler: I read the feeds (and email) before I surf the web. So your problem doesn't arise. This has much to with your habits. I usually first open Email, Feeds, Twitter and FB and open in new tabs the artic
