I've always been startled by the word 社会人 which literally means "member of society" but AFAICS is used by people when describing themselves conveying the meaning of "I'm a full-time employee" (as opposed to stu

The title is very misleading IMO. There have been quite a lot of questions around D-Wave's quantum computing claims. The linked story is about a paper that shows that the D-Wave machine indeed shows signs of quantum entanglement. The

There are various levels of abstraction when accessing the input stream. The lowest level is by inspecting the input (line) buffer. Just realized how that allows one to write a three-word quine [1] in ANS-compliant Forth: SOURCE TYPE

The WikiReader does have a Forth interpreter embedded in its firmware, but doesn't run it by default. It is activated when pressing the right buttons at boot and allows developers to access a Forth console via serial debug-cable and&#

Stack-based programming does not need extra syntax characters (what you call quotes and brackets) to structure the program. arithmetic syntax: (a+b)*c lisp syntax (polish notation): (* (+ a b) c) forth syntax (reverse polish nota

Not even that, but xargs can also be made to run N processes in parallel ('xargs -P N'), making a find|xargs sed pipe perform much better than anything you could easily invent on your own. Note that 'xargs -P' behaves very similar to 'make

Ever tried to build distribution packages? If it works for you, doesn't mean it works everywhere. Slight errors in the dependency specifications of a package may make it fail if you have wrongly versioned/missing libraries etc. It's ofte

You're right, I overlooked how they restricted their license restriction "The following restrictions apply to everything [..] in these downloads, except for the open source pieces. ". Now it starts making sense.

Quite funny they write that they release to conform to LGPL 2.1 part 6.a. But by writing "You may download those files only for your own use. Customer may not redistribute any work based on those files." they are quite clearly in violation

"the end user must be able to replace the LGPL component" seems to be too one-sided IMO. The user must be able to get the source, modify it, and make his modified version work with any (proprietary) application that chose to use the LGPLed

Lattice-based cryptography ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice-based_cryptography ) is currently believed to be quantum-computer resistant (i.e. requires super-polynomial time to break even on a sufficiently large quantum computer). The

From what I heard the v2 (which would be called Ya NanoNote) lacks funding and is far into the future. Most efforts currently seem to be concentrated on the M1 http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Milkymist_One , which may become the basis for

I own a Ben Nanonote. Note taking isn't one of the things I'd to use it for. Pen and paper will be faster :) This thing comes with GNU Octave/Gnuplot, Emacs, MPlayer plus a host of script languages: python, lua, guile, tcl gforth, here's

Also we're not only talking about the main reactor housing. Much more radioactive material resides in spent fuel pools which might not be as well protected as the reactor, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spent_fuel_pool#Risks

Seems you haven't suffered through huge C++ projects making use of advanced C++ features. Try boost::lambda for one. Or read the C++ FQA (Frequently Questioned Answers) for an overview of C++ hell: http://yosefk.com/c++fqa/ . I think t

I cannot agree with (4.) "You [..] need to bring back the entire asteroid, which would require a massive amount of delta-V". You don't need a rocket nor fuel for the full delta-v to put the asteroid into a near earth orbit. Look how mars p

Me, too thinks that this is just (a subset of) MIMO in disguise. The advantage of the antenna array you mention is, that it can precode/decode with any channel matrix, while these antennas implement one fixed matrix.

by dvdkhlng 15y ago
Not sure that this is new. It is known that channel capacity can be scaled up linearly with the number of receive/transmit antennas by properly de-mixing the signal at the receiver (or pre-coding it properly at the sender). This is known

About doing this for free: thought the same. Receiving money might even complicate things wrt tax or other employment contracts. I wonder if they'd allow one to surrender any payments, instead having them directly donated to EFF, FSF or ot
