   How do you, as a root, protect against it? It's unseemly that a non-root can DoS a system.

   And that's the task their marketing department is facing: to correctly align product features and positioning to develop and sell (gradually) full self-driving while being on a well-developed legal ground (driver assist) while the law

   Maybe they simply never needed it, their primary sensor being gravitational wave GrDAR?

   Except that PNG is by far not sufficient in professional image manipulation: it's compression scheme is good and 8uc{3,4} is lossless, but beyond 8bpc you're out of luck. I'd love to have a wide-supported float32 format with

   This advertising-after-purchase has always seemed stupid to me: after all, you've already got the item. Sure, you may be interested in buying many items of one class (say, you're a watch collector), but delaying ads for several mo

   Strange they haven't mentioned the abundance of 'mobile scanner' apps, of which my favourite (and slightly affiliated) app is Smart PDF/A Scanner [0], which can work with any aspect ratio and has auto-normalization that

    Won't agree with downdotes, I think it is an interesting distinction however. In school it's mostly about conformity to some 'business wear ethics' and avoidance of distracting flamboyant costumes, not obedience unliss

    Thanks. It is too early to say if it would be of any use, however, since they don't talk about freeing these native data structures.

    A better example of 'engineering not academy' would be explicit vectorization, memory layout support and a good FFI. (all the stuff that in theory is better managed by compilers, in practice it either doesn't matter at all or

    True, but then Endurance from Seveneves had to evolve rather 'aero'dynamic (oblong) shape to protect from space debris by the huge piece of metal in the nose. If I interpret the text correctly, of course.

    It is a design goal to allow Checked C to be a subset of C++ too. Interesting. In times when many people advocate a safe C++ subset, Checked C grows the other way, adding C++-compatible notation to represent the most vital things like sm

    Nice. Wonder if the rest of HN readers didn't get the reference to Tadamasa Goto, the author's arch-villain in real life. If I had a superpower to give +100 upvote once every 3 months, I'd use it on your comment.

    Either nobody will use it, or you have to be good in marketing. Speaking of which, you'd earn a ton of money being a good programmer with good marketing skills. These can be good consultants.

    The generalizing power of deep convolutional neural nets is much greater, but (1) it doesn't really matter if you don't have anything similar in your training dataset, and (0) CNNs are used for face _recognition_, and for it you s

    It seems C++ approach is quite good: you have a very stable (if a bit too stale) standard library, and you have Boost, which is a cutting-edge batteries-included extension to stdlib curated by much the same people as in the standardization

    Not every school teaches this well, or at all. Not all people currently interested in this were listening to school lessons N years ago. Approachable explanations of everyday natural phenomena seem to be appropriate here to avoid narrowing
