I think a big reason for using corn are the very generous corn growing subsidies. I'm not sure it's more efficient technically.

If it's a possibility, you may want to look into ducks for your snail problem. The ducks will keep the snail population low enough that it won't be a problem.

I can't up vote you enough because this is exactly it (that and many US companies using dodgy science since the bar is so low).

Science isn't math, it can't prove anything. What it does is reduce uncertainties more and more until we become confident that it's likely to be right.

The batteries are the single biggest cost in an electric car. The rest is all much cheaper than a conventional car. Replacing a your batteries would be a significant cost compared to buying a new car. It might even be 1/3 of the new ti

I started using spacemacs (without evil) a few months ago and before that I was using a customized emacs. Spacemacs improves the user experience with their package management approach (it kicks much ass). Not only that but the c-c++-mode is

I want to be really excited by this because this seems very cool but the mediatek processor and the 2 GB of RAM makes this a lot less interesting. Mediatek usually provides a closed off, low price, low performance chip which kind of clashes

This paper talks about a certain kind of GOTOs: assembly like GOTOs that can jump anywhere in the code. GOTOs in c and c++ can only jump to a place in the current context. This makes a big difference in security and usability of GOTOs.

This sentence seems like an oxymoron to me: >> True meritocracy can only come through promoting diversity. If you are taking diversity into account, you are taking things other than merit into account and so it isn't a 'true

Honest question: why Norway? I thought it was more about Russia, Iran, Venezuela, ISIS and that Norway was simply collateral.

Same here, all white on chrome, linux, nvidia proprietary. The previous text rendering demo worked on the same setup.

As a Canadian, this scares me. The only outcome I can imagine of such a union is that the American states would bully our politics to an even greater degree.

I can confirm that they also exist in Canada but that they are rare.

The $HOME/.local directory is made for home installs. I learned this not too long ago and it has been very useful ever since.

The problem is that the gov. subsidizes big, foreign companies that export most of their profits. If only this talent was invested in local companies that reinvested the profits locally.

I'm from Quebec and I have to agree with you that it could easily be north america's Germany. There is a lot of very talented software developers in Montreal but a lot of them leave to get higher salaries or work for foreign compa

I don't think it's because of the retina display. I'm running it very smoothly in Linux at 3200x1800 with an Intel HD4000

We can observe from the american congress that an elected minority is no better informed than the population at large. They have passed laws that were far to large for them to have read in the given time, they don't even have debates.

I've read this book and strongly recommend it. The subject matter is not the easiest to write about but the author really does a great job, approaching it in an educative and interesting way. He also clearly demonstrates that this is s

I've found tuples to be very useful as a temporary structure. I find a tuple is to a structure what a lambda is to a function. The most useful time I've used a tuple was to build OpenGL vertex buffer objects in a more dynamic mann

There are use cases for which reflection is very useful. Things like automatic serialization are an obvious example. There's also automatic printing of complex types, automatic guis (think unity). There are a few use cases which aren&#

The walls of the king's chamber are pink granite. They also happen to be some of the more precise work in the pyramids.

There are two things to keep in mind. Rafaello and Michelangelo worked with stone that wasn't nearly as hard as granite (granite being one of the hardest stones). Secondly, we don't believe metals were nearly as developed during t

I'm very sad to see that reflection (or introspection) won't be making an appearance in c++17. Even limited introspection suggested in N3951 ( http://woboq.com/blog/reflection-in-cpp-and-qt-moc.html ) would be

I have the same workflow as he does and recently upgraded it by using the experimental GIMP 2.9 branch. It supports 16 and 32 bit colour channels and better interpolation which enables the use of GIMP as a RAW editor (which I find easier th

Not only is the US dollar the reserve currency but oil is also sold exclusively for US dollars by OPEC. This forces most countries to hold vast reserves of US dollars. The US benefits because they are able to print a ton of dollars which ge

That's really good news and I'm really excited about keybase's future. I'm curious though why they chose to use NaCl instead of libsodium [1]. I was thinking of doing a crypto app a while back and did some research and l
