Well, please tell me what language will be good for developing a specialized image processing system. Considering all good libraries are all C++ and maybe have Python bindings. deterministic destruction + templates + low-level memory manage

I always use signed ints precisely because -3 bananas is more obviously incorrect than 2147483645 bananas. The opportunity of storing special 'null' values is also useful.

Another option: pay $5 to actual editors and designers, and $15 to reviewers. And save $10. Remember, the publisher typically doesn't even help with paper formatting, never mind copyediting. Unpaid reviewers (who allegedly agree to wor

Then MS could improve the product by teaching them the correct ways or to make specific SQL Server optimizations. More reasons for acquisition.

Are you joking? 2h is the time I need to just switch language/framework contexts to write anything morecomplicated than helloworld, never mind understand some code I've written a week ago.

Though in principle I agree with you, it isn't very nice to throw labels around: the janitor might well deal with dangerous waste and earn 10x the call center manager.

Yeah, and no mention about boost::async, which is in Boost, ie almost standard.

tl;dr very Marxist piece about greedy capitalists using hi-tech to devalue taxi medallions, breaking some minor laws by the way (which isn't great, though not the pure evil at all). Though there's an interesting link about LaZooz,

Actually, Moscow metro has wifi only in trains. Which is quite annoying since half of the stations' cellular signal is at EDGE at best.

There are even languages with deterministic destruction which solves nearly all resource leak problems, and at least one of them is directly compatible with C and has nice metaprogramming facilities. C++ it is.

Thanks, this analysis puts it all in context for a foreigner who has read the original article as 'governor has long supported solar, and then stupidly changed his mind'.

I'm somewhat wary of relying on profile switching. Is there a way to launch several instances with different profiles concurrently?

Thanks for the reply. Added "try memorang" to my to-do. I imagine three use cases for myself in the nearest future: * Learn some new foreign language, * Upload and study a bunch of book quotes that I'd like to always keep in

I agree. Browser vendors should recognize this to eat up the remaining percents. It should be easy for me to have several fully isolated Chrome instances with different desktop icons and clearly distinct windows (this is where UI color-them

Do you have some API or in-app functionality to import/export data e.g. to upload, backup or analyze card decks I create? You do really address the issues that prevent me from using Anki, and I'd be happy to pay for it once you do

well, first you need to know what image regions feed to ANN, and that can involve some segmentation and pre-recognition, otherwise you're going to evaluate the net at all feasible subwindows — and that's a LOT of matrix math for y

The language editor is what's really good. It allows full structural editing, mixing Lisp-style and math-style expressions. And the workbook allows to display all kinds of objects. Which (like images) you could actually copy-paste as v

In Moscow (Russia) there are two major coffee shop chains: Coffee House and Shokoladnitsa, Starbucks being a rare and expensive beast. And you know what, these two are always next to each other, like 20m nearby or on opposite sides of a str

Can you show your work? Advanced LaTeX code typography is a very interesting topic, especially for writing programming textbooks.

This is more like 'salmon' than 'red'. Seems rather readable on a good display with low brightness. Unsafe choice for not art-specific website though.

It's of course available, but not installed by default, and when e.g. you git commit from console, it by default launches Nano with its counterintuitive shortcuts.

FYI the package 'ne' on Ubuntu does exist. The question is: why didn't it replace the goddamn Nano as a default editor long ago? This editor should be known more widely.
