You may want to activate ssh compression (see ssh -C). If you're remote it can speed up X forwarding and make the whole application more reactive.

Employers do force their employees to show up at a particular time.

I say it's natural to wake up when the sun raises, you say it's natural to stick to the same hour all year long. I'm not forcing anything anymore than you do.

by bnegreve 8y ago
Frankly, I like daylight savings. It contributes to reduce the difference between the sun time and my time. I wake up more or less when the sun raises and then go to work. Now if I keep doing that I'm going to show up either too late i

You can hijack a plane with two people in the cockpit. People won't go out and police won't get in for obvious reasons. With trains, you need an army of guys spread along the train to shoot at people trying to get out. Each one of

by bnegreve 8y ago
Yes, but trains may be a little safer from that perspective. They have hundreds of doors instead of just two, and each door lead to the land, not to a free fall. So you can threat the driver, but I don't see how you can prevent passeng

Trains are much easier to board. You can arrive two minutes before departure and take your seat without having to queue or wait. A two hours train trip is generally much shorter than a one hour plane trip.

Right! thanks

I don't see how generating different code for the same mathematical expression can be a good thing. The compiler should detect that the two expressions are strictly equivalent and generate whatever code it believes is the fastest. Any

In case you're looking for supervised art datasets for machine learning, I made a little art-movement classifier you may be interested in. Demo here: https://bit.ly/2xClNHz data and models are available for download.

It really depends on how you define picture. I guess you could argue that it is still a picture in the sense that it is captured using an array of sensors that are sensitive to some electromagnetic waves. edit: Wikipedia defines photography

Notepad runs in userland under the supervision of the kernel. This is a driver and could be running in kernel mode. It could make a big difference. Even if it's not malicious, I still think it is a rather serious professional mistake t

I think you make an interesting point, ml models and algorithms are two different things. I also think it's reasonable to ask for a model so you can test and validate it yourself.
