That's great! IIRC, OpenCL can calculate automatically the local workgroup sizes so you only have to provide the global size.

Seems nice! I would use this to avoid all the OpenCL bloat code. However, there's an inconvenient: why restrict the vector sizes to be all the same? I see that it is used to set the workgroup size. I think that giving the possibility t

Regarding remembering flats and sharps... That may be easy for beginners, but it's actually not good. You do have to remember the sharps and flats because you have to know in which key you are playing to see where is the music going. A

But there's no easy solution to that. You can create notation that makes things easier on certain situations (e.g., it's not unusual to see jazz music sheets with the melody and chords in american notation, such as http:/&#x

Yes, they would be the same spacing, but that spacing would be extremely uncomfortable and lots of pieces would become impossible to play. Making the black keys the same size as the white keys, a 8th would become a 13th. I don't have s

You have to ask yourself what should feel more natural: transposing songs or actually playing them. I don't know much about why the piano was designed like this, but I can see your idea wouldn't be useful: - Black keys are a refer

I wouldn't worry about that. I'm studying mathematics and I also feel stupid while reading new concepts on Wikipedia. The problem with mathematics is that, if you don't know the idea behind the concept or which kind of proble

Just as a practical tip: use latexmk, it's an utility that runs all the necessary tools the necessary number of times to get everything right (labels, cross references, indexes, etc). It works really nice with Make.

I don't think being implemented with macros is a plus. I've seen some friends use it and get stuck whenever it was failing because it's impossible to know how it's working. It's the same type of cleverness some peop

Environment flags would be good. Another suggestion: per-file flags? if "% pretex delimiters" is present in the file, change delimiters; else, leave them alone.

by gjulianm 12y ago
Pretty neat! As a suggestion, I would replace also the delimiters "()\{\}[]" with the corresponding left/right versions [1] so LaTeX adjusts automatically the size in the output and I don't have to deal with less readabl

I don't find this search reliable at all. There are a lot of completely unrelated results. I couldn't find any related match on the 2.000+ Python results, for example. Same with C++. This is being publicized as "proof" o

The difference is that no one from HN is asking you to write something. It's not the same "I wrote this thing because I wanted to and I'm letting HN/HuffPo link/mirror on their site" and "You asked me t

I'd add installing zsh+oh-my-zsh. Impressive autocompletion, fuzzy matching, shortcuts, themes (I think agnoster is great), plugins... It's really great and I wouldn't go back to bash. Some resources: https://githu

I just discovered a few days ago that gdb + valgrind integration. It's awesome for debugging and finding weird memory errors. A neat thing that isn't explained in the article is that valgrind automatically sends SIGTRAP to gdb whe

Microsoft has a reviewing process for the WP Store. They don't enforce a "this is another FB web wrapper so it's not allowed" kind of rule, but the rules in place for quality and stability are pretty strict.

Bad example. But what I tried to say is that, if a company needs you to build software, you will get paid regardless of the final license of the work.

You can still get paid for building free software. For example, take a employee management program that needs to be catered to the specific needs of each company. You still get paid for those adaptations + deployment the same you'd get

I'm pretty sure they won't make it available. They still don't allow uploading images to their service using an API, so I doubt they will allow to send messages. After the Twitter example, APIs are not attractive to these kin

Development time. Why invest time in such optimizations instead of other features when the app is fast enough? Time is not infinite and we need to prioritize what takes our development time.

Well, I think MS has been drifting away from their monopolistic character. Look at Azure, for example. They give you documentation even to develop and deploy with Java. That's not something I'd expect from the old MS. Apart from t

Well, I tried it even though it requires FB login. I didn't give the app write permissions, I don't know why would you want that. Once in... well, it's nice. It's easy to use and templates are good but there's no sp

In the same sense that an axiom can't be proved, it can neither be refuted. I think you mean they're consistent: that you can't infer a paradox or a contradiction from your set of axioms.

The ZFC axiom set [1] doesn't define a made-up world. Actually, once you understand the axioms (they're somewhat difficult in notation and definitions, but the ideas behind are understandable) they make sense. There are some axiom

Side note: no intermediate node in the Tor network can see your traffic in clear. They just see the encrypted data. The only node that could see what are you sending is the exit node, but that can be solved easily using HTTPS.

It's not that they have a page about cool free software things. It's the message they transmit to everybody.

I absolutely agree with you. Lately, the FSF is just being perceived as screaming about "this is bad" (and from their point of view almost everything is bad) and not "these other things are cool, support them!". That&#x2
