You either have to work for a living or you don’t The words 'have to' are doing a lot of work in that statement. Some people 'have to' work to literally put food on the table, other people 'have to' work to a

Personally I've had much more problems over the past 6-7 years with AMD's open source drivers than I've had with Nvidia's closed source drivers. Especially their Ryzen APUs have caused me so much pain.

Studying in the EU is cheap Not if you're from outside the EU/EEA and don't qualify for scholarships or other waivers. I just checked TU Munich as an example and they charge 6000 euros/semester for non EU/EEA CS M

Realistically, I would weight the two educations as roughly equal and judge on other factors.

One would hope that someone choosing studying literature at university would at least be slightly interested in the literary arts. However I suspect that 'English' might also end up being the default major for many people who don&

While a valid point I don't think it is expecting too much for an English major to be familiar with the literature of the country of origin of the language they're studying? I guess the big question is where in their study are t

Would you rather hire an English major who graduated from one of these two colleges, or a high school graduate with a good SAT score? Depends on what my incentives are on the hiring end. Many jobs default to requiring a college degree, a

If you were studying French literature at a university in France, it might be slightly concerning.

sandboxing built-in This is both a pro and a con. For example, one big downside of this approach is that it can make installing third party plugins and scripts much harder than it should be.

Sure they are. You could generate every possible input Depends entirely on what you mean by reversible. For every hash value, there are an infinite number of inputs that give that value. So while it is certainly possible to find some inpu

You should definitely cite, but move the citations to where they are the most relevant and make them specific. The abstract and introduction should be more focused on what you've achieved, and overview of how you've achieved it, a

My wife works in a fairly niche field and can often guess at the very least which university or research group a blind paper is from, and quite often the author (or in the case of a PhD student, the authors supervisor).

Honestly, why? The only cost I care about is what I have to pay to drive it off the lot. How much of that price is tariffs, sales taxes, road taxes, markups or whatever is really quite irrelevant.

Another 'hack' to increase the size of your two-pizza team is to buy crappier pizzas and 'forget' to buy enough drinks.

It’s probably a pricing thing. It really isn't or at least not just price. BYD, at least in Sweden, are not cheap cars in an absolute sense. Many car brands have cars that are cheaper than the cheapest car BYD sells in Sweden. MG,

They're "boring" electric cars— not trying to redefine the driving experience, not trying to be luxury cars. That's not the image or the cars they're pushing in Europe. Their cheapest car, at least in Sweden, cost

I just don't see how. Simple. Musk steps away and the company issues a full statement distancing themselves from Musk and his politics. Tesla negotiates an end to its fights with the unions in Europe. Stop focusing on the Cybertruck

For me it's more the thought of another subscription to keep track of than the price itself that often stops me. Charge me a one time price for something cool or useful and I'll probably pay. If you want me to subscribe to a thing

On the other hand if you are targeting companies, just charging $5/month is leaving money on the table. If a company is willing to pay $5/month they are almost certainly also willing to pay $50/month.
