I tried the same thing and never did get the company I was looking for, mine was Intel.

Agreed with your comment and I'd like to extend it. It's worth pointing out here that every practical hello world program that I'm aware of invokes thousands of lines of library code beneath it (many years ago I was agog when

Yes, I would not dispute your statement, but that does not contradict the fact that airframe weight is minimized to increase efficiency. I did notice the seats were mostly metal, but I also noticed their (essentially) honeycombed design: th

Thank you. I didn't know about that requirement; and it would obviously be ridiculous to stipulate that airframes be made heavy.

It isn't clear that electric is a lower carbon footprint, right? What if the electricity is generated at a coal plant? Intuitively the train should be more efficient, right? So the question imo is why does the data say otherwise: Is th

You are focusing on the emotive aspect of traditional art and I am focusing on the creative aspect of what is traditionally considered merely technical. I am pushing back on the merely, but I doubt you'll agree in the end. If I had to

It is interesting and important that we refer to these masks as "artwork." Many of these older designs also have "signatures" etched into the silicon. I claim that this notion extends to code, as well, and rightly into m

I think a better comparison is the planning it would take to get to the variety that Gobble offers. I've been on that rotating meal plan and it is pretty narrow in my experience. Every once in a while I find a new recipe, euphoria ensu

To me, the highest cost of cooking for myself is planning and shopping. The value, therefore, is to offload the thinking, planning, and shopping part of this. The prep and cleanup is actually fun and easy to fit into my schedule. Therefore,

I disagree with the nitpick. Electricity is not a technical term. In its common usage, it encompasses many effects and broadly invokes many technical concepts, i.e. among them EMF or voltage, current, electromagnetic waves, etc. etc. This a

It doesn't make much sense to say that Intel can't build something better than a GPU, right? It's like saying the reason nvidia doesn't build CPUs is because they can't build a better CPU than Intel. It distracts th

Intel has an interesting angle on this: FPGA + Xeon. One story I see here as similar to what has been happening to the GPU business: Intel controls the access to the CPU, and therefore they will have an advantage because they can hold the c

Great question. I've seen companies with entire teams dedicated to dissecting the performance claims of the competition, and then running their own tests to verify and/or debunk the same. Keeps everyone honest, and it prods along

Digging in to this by searching for other related stories, in brief, my findings: 1. So far, no direct corroboration. Not even on the DSWT website. 2. Poachers do appear to use poison arrows/darts. 3. DSWT appears to be the real deal,

Not awkward, the sentence you call out. Beautiful, rather, and whether it is an artifact of translation or not, no matter. You didn't mean awkward in a pejorative sense; this is just an affirmation.
