I have tried to look at CMake a couple time and always found it very...inflexible? Currently I have a hand-written Makefile which: - automatically collects executables to build from the .cpp files in two distinct directories - uses the CPP

Last time I checked, Boost uBLAS was horribly slow and one should not use it. Use Eigen or Blitz++ (or just call BLAS directly) instead.

Though note that the NHS to some extend does incorporate that idea, namely that doctors are paid by the state and not by individual sick patients. Hence, doctors don’t have an incentive to ‘keep their patients sick, but alive’, which coul

Road-building is also not profitable unless you capture the increase in land value around roads. Curiously, most people are okay with tax-funded roads and streets but strongly oppose spending public funds on trains. Of course, ideally both

As a rule of thumb, one should replace the chain every 1000 to 5000 km, depending on the force you exert when cycling. Since the chain otherwise tends to stretch, it will eventually be misaligned with the chain wheels and start to wear thos

Personally, I am really looking forward to constexpr if, i.e. if branches which are discarded at compile time and only have to be syntactically but not semantically correct. This should help a lot in avoiding enable_if magic to select the c

FWIW, Firefox lets you view the stored passwords directly (about:preferences#security → Saved Logins → Show Passwords). Very useful feature :)

This is absolutely the fault of the publisher, not of anyone else. If the people running that site wanted to offer a slim and fast experience, they could absolutely do so without including additional Javascript from god-knows-where and what

The publisher can trivially create a light website which loads just as quickly as the AMP version.

by claudius 10y ago
AMP offers no more or less speed than standard HTML. Even on a slow connection, the majority of that slowness is due to the last mile, not because it takes a long time to get data from Europe to Australia. It really is only about getting ye

If your website costs so much that you need income to support it and provides so little value that people are unwilling to pay for those costs, then, yes, you should probably shut it down.

Just don’t have ads on your website. Easy as pie.

Note that this is for diesel trains. While likely most of the length of the track won’t be electrified soon, essentially all tracks in western Europe (France, Germany, possibly Poland) are already electrified. This means that using nuclear

The problem here is that of course it is only the retailers that are being sued, i.e. the company itself. If the salesperson who bought the stuff and everyone up from there to the CEO was on the line plus all shareholders of the company, th

Couldn’t you import the Mbox archive in Thunderbird/Claws-Mail/something and then copy the mails to whatever cloud provider you wish to use?

Really?! Is this among the elderly who already have lots of little aches here and there or the general population? When I broke my arm I took 400mg about six or seven times over three days and for a cold I tend to take one or two paracetamo

I would make a distinction between “scientific software” and “system software”. The latter is commonly used for all sorts of things and could in principle easily be replaced. The former is specifically adapted to produce the results at hand

I read this, but I honestly don’t understand it. Isn’t a license essentially a contract between the licensor and the licensee? And shouldn’t it hence be possible to write such a clause into a license? After all, lots of things are put into

Meh. The website says "Please cite", not "you must cite". To derail this a bit further, I would actually be very interested in an academic version of the AGPL - that is, a proper license that defines "publication of

Up until very recently, fossil fuel was cheap and there was little incentive to invest in other resources such as wind or solar. Furthermore, there was relatively little political incentive to avoid fossil fuels. Both of these things have c
