I've had similar problems with jeans, and lately I've switched over to these: https://www.prana.com/stretch-zion-pant.html They have a bit of stretch and are more durable than jeans, and I don't feel out of

Depends on the length of the queue. I find if I'm too far back from the intersection, cars will get up to speed and want to overtake me before I get through. If I continue to take the lane the driver behind me is likely to start honkin

When I started with Emacs, I customized a bunch of things to make it behave in a more familiar way. That let me learn new things in small batches without taking a huge up-front productivity hit. Over time I've changed a lot of things t

16-bit integers are good enough for most image-processing algorithms. But you have to code pretty careful to avoid overflow or loss of precision in your intermediate values. Floating point is much easier to work with, and sometimes makes a

It's more like writing preconditions and postconditions, and proving that the implementation of the function will always satisfying the postconditions. And then also proving that no other part of your program can call the function in a

I think that the addictive quality is a key component of all games -- perhaps especially the great ones. In a good game the compulsion is balanced with the creative/rewarding aspects to create an positive experience. But even then I of

Interesting. I've never smoked pot but I really enjoy the smell. But that could be because my parents were hippies when I was young, so I got a lot of second-hand exposure and it has pleasant associations for me.

The US has overtime laws as well, but certain types of job are exempt from them. I don't know all the details of the law but in practice, basically all white-collar jobs are exempt. Here's a list of exemptions: https://

I've found that when I've been stressed out or overly busy, it can take a while to adjust to a more relaxed rhythm. At first I just want to slack off completely. After a couple of days, this gets boring, but it takes longer than t

If I understand correctly, ETF and index fund are orthogonal terms. An ETF is traded on the stock market -- in contrast to a mutual fund which you have to buy through other channels. An index fund tracks an index rather than being actively

I did the same for several years at my last job (although with Friday off so I had long weekends). It was great and I'd encourage anyone to try it if they can. I definitely felt like it made me more productive per hour worked. A shorte

According to the video, they have an a runtime library (StreamExecutor) which abstracts over CUDA and OpenCL. That seems like the hard part to me. Switching out the LLVM backend for kernels ought to be relatively easy.

For your purposes I would recommend C. It's a very small language with very little abstraction, so it forces you to really understand pointers and memory layout. Rust is more complicated than C and it tends to insulate you from the low

I bought a suit from indochino.com this year and was really happy with it. They are made to measure and start around $500. I don't know if I'd call it a great suit, but it fits pretty well, and is more than adequate for someone li

There's lots of good advice here on meeting people. But in my experience the hard part has been moving from acquaintance or casual friend to good friend. It was always easy to meet people through hobbies, but those relationships tended

We used the Intel compiler at my last job and also had some good speedups. But we also ran into a lot of bugs where it would generate non-working code at the higher optimization levels. For us, the performance was worth the effort of workin

It takes longer to access elements that aren't in cache, but that's still a constant factor. It may be 100x or 1000x but once you're going all the way to main memory it's not going to get any worse as your array gets big

In Germany around the 16th century, people fought unarmored with blunted swords, and the winner was the first guy to cause a bleeding wound on his opponent's scalp. We certainly could reproduce that today, but I don't think most p

I would say, rather, that the sword was used as a sidearm rather than a primary weapon. Most soldiers would have been armed with a spear, lance, or other polearm -- weapons with greater reach and ability to penetrate armor. But many of thos

Actually I think he is referring to the tendency of humans (and presumably our close evolutionary ancestors, aka hominins) to discount evidence which doesn't fit their existing beliefs. It's still a bizarre and unwieldy sentence,
