Wasn't there a problem that while there was an anomaly of some sorts, different teams still reported significantly different results? That would still mean that n-1 teams were wrong, which could mean that the nth team could have been w

There are hundreds of boys like this as well. Geniuses get born everywhere, in different bodies, places, social strata etc. The fact that many of them get lesser chances to contribute to the world is an outrageous abuse of the most precious

As a person from a country with <20% of religious people, about half of them (lukewarm) Catholics, reading some of these comments, the only thing that comes to my mind is...W.T.F.?

"their pension and economy are STILL getting built on O&G" I don't quite get the peculiar use of the word "still" in your sentence, seeing as the topic seems to be ditching coal and not ditching oil or gas.

The difference is that there's currently no large-scale acceptable replacement for oil, so ditching oil would be committing a global suicide (or genocide, if you will), while ditching coal in the presence of nuclear, wind, solar and hy

I'm getting kind of sleepy here at 2 AM and my brain misarranged the headline words into something like "Development of an application in Clojure onboard the Boeing 737 Max" . So it seems like an easy mistake to make!

Setting aside the fact that condescending comments aren't mutually exclusive with true ones, I wonder if those packagings weren't "relatively useless" simply for the fact that small packagings ususally tend to be more ex

The police can't do any such thing here. Only a court could. And even then, it generally happens to the property that is the result of a crime (like bribes, for example, or drug money). What message about the level of respect towards

Yes, yes, you and the guy above are Americans, I get that. Me, I'm from Europe. I guess we see things differently. Of course, none of us here has a country that would demand such ridiculous things as income taxes from expats, so I see

Probably even better to arrange it so that any removal of any storage media destroys the very contents. And have some safe backups far away. After all, that's just basic theft prevention. Who knows what burglars could fate deal you?

The notion r/K selection always comes to my mind, regardless of whether or not this is correct and/or a fair analogy (since humans are generally considered clear K-strategists in general). Still, when a human society develops, it&

I'm still not comprehending how telling someone not to do something would amount to confiscation of property. State mandated confiscation of property would be comparable to robbery the way that legal death penalty would be comparable

Sounds like an ambiguous question. Most algorithms are "arbitrarily expensive". It generally depends on some measure of the data you're putting in. But in case you mean "an arbitrary algorithm", then no, nobody know

Yes, that's another reason why a municipal grid would be useful: city-wide storage could work better than each house having a small battery (but the roofs are still useful for panels, of course). But it may not need to be a utility in

There was also Component Pascal. And Franz Lisp, if you accept dialect names. Also, OCaml used to be called Objective Caml, if I'm not mistaken.

Don't forget the rest of the machine. At these comparatively low CPU price points, buying three machines instead of two might not be a good decision. (Of course, licensees of per-core-licensed software are screwed again.)
