I can't believe no one is talking about MOOCs and how MOOCs are part of our daily lives and yet they have been absolutely toothless in taking over the system. I personally think MOOC-with-tech-advancements is the future of education. A

I get that Amazon has created this "self-correcting machine" that makes sure certain constraints are met in terms of vendors and products and what not. And if a vendor is detected as violating some rule, they're "elimina

Honestly the whole thing makes me sick. And now effin Khronos comes up with their 15th grand new idea. Every party in this is a PoS in once sense or another.

Can anyone recommend reading for the web-related Javascript "API" so that when Javascript is used in the form of generated code, e.g., through asm.js, the "API" can be used by the "generating program" without t

If you think sticking to what the customer knowingly asks will lead to elimination of complexity, I'm afraid you're going to have a bad time.

So this system uses the spec language ACSL (I assume it's a formal spec language, FSL). How widely used is it? I've heard of TLA+ being very popular. Then there is Z notation, and about half a dozen or more others. If there is no

> I don't know. Not much about all this setup feels appealing. Exactly. While reading the post all I could think of were flashbacks of dependency hell and not one thing I was reading appeared to be helpful in eliminating it. But now

I don't see how this is a new discovery. That line of thinking was pretty much the implicit null hypothesis. The question at that time was, is it something more than that? and that's what made it interesting.

Exactly. Speaking of which, how do you make a tarball of a directory? tar czf verylongdirectoryname{.tar.gz,} Feel feel to replace czf with cjf for bz2, or cJf for xz.

The first thing you should do with the C compiler is create a scheme/lisp interpreter.

I often rewatch the first video, not just for math, game-of-life, and John Conway, but also ASMR, when he's (spoiler alert) ... eating the "dead" almonds.

There should be UX research about an ideal combination of tactile physical interfaces (knobs, dials, push buttons, whatever) and voice-activated and voice-feedbacked control while driving. I we're missing out on not only voice-activate

I like what you said in the first line. Personally, I'm less interested in the 'management' aspect of this topic, and more interested in the "process" or the idea, so to speak. I think supply chain is a big idea and

What if a remote employee makes one room available in their home for full monitoring, camera, audio, whatever? If the employee is not in the room, that's like a break. Employers monitor cubicles in offices. Would it be worse if the are

Chapel was one of the three language chosen by DARPA in early 2010s (late 2000s?) to be the potential future of HPC (the other two being Fortress and X10). I think the idea was to fund these languages, allow the developers to throw them at

Does 'Open' mean open source? Is there a free/open-source PCR design that DIYers can build themselves as long as they have the parts/resources?

llvm is a bloated hot-mess of a compilation framework, built on a bloated hot-mess of a language (C++). Folks who have achieved great things with llvm (and C++) have done so 'despite' what they used, not 'because of' it.

Rant alert: I've realized there is a big problem with logic programming: the two cultures of mathematical logic, and logic programming. In math logic, you learn propositional/sentential logic, then spend a lot of time with predica

This would happen to me when my monitor was right next to my bed. (I believe the flash part, while the exploding/popping sound is external). I would use my computer an hour or more before going to bed, so the monitor would run warm (or

Hey thanks for the very useful reply. Now that you mention, could you point to any reading resource for getting into the nitty gritty of the fixed hardware part of the GPU? From my interactions with some folks, I'm under the impression

So as I understand: - H&P does a very good job of giving updating arch knowledge, but it's mainly "theoretical" - In order to build/simulate modern arch features, a lot of work needs to be done. So we have simulators

A similar approach to demonstrate a GPU would be great. Any recommendations? Well, let me rephrase. A GPU these days has two distinct features, graphics-processing, and GPGPU. I'm less interested in the graphics part (since that pipeli

Oh this is a tried-and-true strategy that both nVidia and Intel follow again and again. And it works like a charm. Think of market share as a fragile glass or ceramic cup sitting right at the edge of the table. You're usually oblivious

Cost is the not the only issue. My first impression was, do you really need all that. And is it making your life as an entrepreneur worthwhile. You could easily overdo if you only think about $227 a month. "Well, $227 is nothing. We co

I fail to see why such an infrastructure would've been unnecessary if Moore's law had not ended. Architecture has become crazy heterogeneous by now. It was heterogeneous enough to warrant such a thing 10 years ago. Better late tha
