It's an allusion to both the show "Mad Men" and to the phrase which spawned it from the 60s. Also, the alliteration.

Microsoft doesn't really want github. What they want is Electron. Say what you want about their Windows and Office divisions, they put a lot of effort and resources into their development tool side. Being able to direct the development

There are a lot of 'useful idiots' too---people doing it for free without any direction.

It might be easier to just link to the guy's github repository ( https://github.com/seemoo-lab/mobisys2018_nexmon_software_de... ) than the two click throughs to find it.

Strange random ads are ok compared to seeing creepy demographically targeted ads. Also, there are only so many national brands who are willing to spend money indiscriminately.

On twitter you just block the accounts that are sending you promoted tweets. Eventually, you'll run out of people trying to target you. You have no recourse on Facebook.

I run up against this all the time. My browser is fast from blocking all third party trackers and scripts. My searches are faster, so it thinks they're automated.

Legality aside, has there ever been an instance of a researcher getting a DMCA notice for posting a paper they wrote on their own website? Even if you got a DMCA, couldn't you just direct link to a scihub search result that contains yo

Yes atlas is good. For small, dense n you're not going to beat the cubic algorithm. This is the most common case in a lot of applications. For sparse n, use a sparse version of the cubic algorithm. For large dense n, those sub-cubic al

That's not what I learned in grad school when I took a class on this.

A hand rolled routine where you benchmarked different indexing orders, strides, interleaving on a particular sized matrix on fixed sizes of caches has the potential to outperform blas. In general, use BLAS. Those sub-cubic algorithms requir

Until it bent to the point where it didn't work. Electrical components are not designed to deform plastically or have residual stresses. The Ford Pinto and the Samsung both suffered from fuel/power problems that caused them to be

by danmg 8y ago
They're both major issues. The Samsung one is a safety issue. The Apple is a quality and reliability one. The Ford Pinto and the Yugo GV were both bad cars. The Pinto would kill you. The Yugo was made poorly with substandard materials.

This is whataboutism. Samsung has been punished and taken major losses as a result of their faulty design. Apple still has people trying to pretend that it wasn't such a bad problem.

Very cool. But, are there environments which have awk that don't have perl5? Even most commercial unices back in the late 90s shipped some kind of perl.

That would violate the Prime Directive.

It's not just an aesthetic. It can cause a host of other electrical problems which can affect its basic use. Circuit boards aren't designed to be ductile.

Terry Davis has real technical chops and has written more code for his 'temple' than most people will write in their entire lives. He is God's programmer after all. Weev just talks a good game.

Any proof of his technical genius?

Most of the numerical code they're going to use is in Fortran, and interlanguage calling convention and the runtime might pose a problem. This is in addition to not using recursive functions being pretty standard in anything embedded.

> Then why does NASA consider it unsafe for mission critical code? More like they're using an old Fortran 77 environment which doesn't support recursive functions.

Yes, it's a form of pattern recognition. You can get very good at it and do it mechanically, just like solving integrals. You can spend a lot of time getting very good at them, or you can just use memorization/rsolve just like you
