they do good and bad displays. The OLED displays are incredible. The 768pn TN ones not so.

I also have an X60, would recommend the X250/60/70. It is surprisingly smaller than you would expect from photos, and runs cooler/longer than the X60. The downsides are that the keyboard isn't as good - and how accepta

I'm not sure the ship has sailed. If HSBC switched to only mailing out text-only emails with URLs written out in full, after a while HSBC users would get used to only receiving text correspondence from their bank. I think that would

I'd say the way the menus are implemented in the HP42s is more useable than trying to cram things onto buttons. For example, on the HP12c you have to remember which registers the sum and mean of x and y are - usefully it tells you on

>What happened? I don't get it either. Even if HP lost interest, why didn't anyone continue with RPN (patents, maybe?). I think RPN is both better for learning at school (you see intermediates, and you learn operator order), a

by dm319 9y ago
Yes, I find complex equations to be far easier to calculate in RPN. Even if you get stuck you have a useful intermediate. On algebraic I find I'm having to back pedal to sort out parentheses for lower order operators.

The 48 was quite a bit bigger than the 42s, which I think is the main downside. A bit of googling suggests the 48 contains similar features to the 42s, and probably more. It can also show the full 4 level stack - the 42s showed 2. However

Getting good condition HP calculators can be quite expensive second hand. People interested in buying a new one should check out swissmicros [1]. They are bringing out an HP42s clone with quad precision decimal accuracy, which I'm lo

There is a tendency for machine learning (including neural networks) to over-fit data - i.e. the algorithm learns to recognise the particular data, rather than the real distinguishing predictors of the groups. As you say, these can be feat

This is a such a great question. I find it fascinating that 'contributing positively to society' is not necessarily related to; financial compensation, legality or societal status. Not implying it should of course, many of us don

I sit uncomfortably with the article's emphasis on a specific ethnicity. Great things were done at Bletchley during the war, and I think there is a good argument that diversity (or should we say lack of anti-diversity?) was helpful. T

We need to await the results of the Finnish study[1]. As an aside, I wish all politics would take an experimental scientific approach as the Finnish are doing. They are randomly selecting 2000 unemployed in a specific area and trialling t

Yep, there are no good experimental designs for breastmilk that are also ethically ok. What is really interesting about this study is that it is based on a a cohort of pre-term babies in randomised and blinded study from the 1980s [1] - whe

Apart from it being a great video, I'm sad to say that I'm surprised my phone isn't burning my fingers after watching all the way through it. It's like these people know something about multimedia on the internet.

Go strives to find defaults that are good for its core use cases, and only accepts features that are fast enough to be enabled by default, in a constant and successful fight against knobs Made me chuckle.

'I was wrong' part 1 was a really a discussion about how wrong / fraudulent some authors were who published in Nature in 2004. It looks like it turned into a bit of flame-fest[1], with the original authors chipping in. [1]

That's pretty good, but for the people I'm thinking of, including Theresa May, that's about 10X too long. I like the last 5 points. It reminded me of Cory Doctorow's 'and now you've got two problems'. Sa
