It's not vocational training. As long as you're taking non-bullshit upper level courses you will have to use one of "those languages that will help them get a job." Systems will have you doing C and ASM. AI will have you

LISP/Scheme usually gets covered in pretty good detail in the standard "let's make an interpreter" required class. APL could be interesting, but the last time I checked everyone wanted real money for APL that you could r

The features of the languages you pick should be orthogonal so they see different ways of thinking: Java, Fortran, Prolog, ASM. You just don't want them to memorize slightly different variations of Algol syntax.

I stayed there in the summer for a conference during graduate school. Even in the week or so I was there, it felt like something between a hackerspace and the headquarters of a zine than some drab campus housing. There were people showing u

That's most DSP code. Take a look at FFTW or SOKit.

That's how we ended up with private prisons which in turn has a profit motive to lobby to criminalize more things so they make more money.

Who cares what you're 'legally allowed' to do on your own computer. I thought this was 'hacker' news not 'let us study the click through EULA and respect the terms and conditions entirely' news. If you can

This is the truth. They're predominately right out of school and don't understand systems engineering. If single schizophrenic man can create a complete 64-bit real-time multitasking operating system that can be distributed compl

Well, you're up against basic physics here: bigger die required to decode full x86 ISA, more power, more heat.

This is literally the reason all mobile devices run on some variant of arm or mips, and why umpc's from the 00s never really caught on.

Modern x86, for the past 25 years or so, doesn't implement the instructions directly. There's an internal intermediate, proprietary reduced instruction set. So outwardly it's a cisc processor, with variable length instruction

Well it's a battery powered phone. Decoding x86 instructions and converting them to the processor's internal microcode, unless it's not really the full x86 ISA, is not energy efficient. This means there may be a noticeable ba

There was some degree of trying to provoke him once he got very internet famous and latching on to some of his memetic hiccups, but the majority of it was genuine admiration. His projects are a lot more impressive than most of the show hn m

yeah lynx needs a fork that uses dom-distiller to render things off screen, and then just uses its own renderer to show the final content.

How are you getting the installs in the first place? Were they accidental? Is the performance of the app bad?
