I think because now they have AMD GPUs for some years. I have a MacBook Pro from 2013 and I think it was the one before the last to have a Nvidia GPU. Also, it's always an headache for me to get CUDA to work with Python/R librarie

I ride my bike to work and it's incredible how asinine and stupid some drivers are. Some of them don't even know (or at least pretend) that bicycles can occupy the rods along with cars. It's just ridiculous. But in the end, I

For me isn't just the fact that using the keyboard is faster to carry out a specific task, it is also that in Vim (or most places using a good keyboard layout) I don't have to take my fingers out of the home row and then carrying

The thing is, homeopathy claims to heal all kinds of illness (cancer for instance), while the author of this study leaves it very, very clearly that it only works on the perception of illness by the mind. He clearly states that the placebo

The difference is that when my former cab driver sits to drive an Uber/Lyft he knows he will be rated at the end and he also knows he can't rip me off in the fare or refuse to pass a receipt in the end. Most of all, is the account

The team working on Spyder (the Python closest alternative to RStudio) have something like R Notebooks in their roadmap for a while now, but it keeps being pushed into the future. I wish they could use RStudio for a while and understand jus

We use Skype for conferences between my lab and the ones we work closely with. I try to get them to change to Tox ( https://tox.chat/ ) but it's not easy sincerely, since only very few of us use Linux exclusively and und

It baffles me that moderators keep blocking the community and remove flags form these kind of totally non factual and opinionated posts, and then go and themselves flag highly voted fact based posts that make it to the first page of HN - li

I was actually discussing this the other day at work (I work in a relatively small laboratory of about 50 people and we don't have a dedicated IT department so most of us contribute a bit to keep the IT infrastructure). It is incredibl

We keep all the finished documents in a document managing system in more than one format. There in no danger of loosing those even if google shuts down Google Docs somewhere in the future.

In big scientific projects we are now using Google Docs. Although not a totally Open Source workflow, it does provide the possibility of using it in any system we personally work and makes sharing and editing documents from various parties

Well, using Google docs/sheets the difference is really big. I understand that Chrome should be heavily optimised to use other Google products like Google Sheets, but in the end, as a user it really makes a diference. On a Macbook Pro

These 3D prints are amazingly perfect compared to what I've been able to achieve. With what methods/hardware can I achieve something similar when it comes to shape/texture? What about the colours?

This is great, didn't know about p5js. About 2 years ago I was searching for something similar to Processing in Python, but couldn't find anything that was suitable. Perhaps someone knows some project that has filled that gap.

The question is not AMD's processing power, the question is the tools available for AMD cards, which are scant to say the best. While AMD doesn't create something like cuDNN to go along with their cards, no real work will start be
