Shared libraries were invented at a time when disk space was very scarce. In my opinion, the fact that we still use dynamic linking today is largely an accident of history. Literally the only advantage over static linking (or distributing a

Because conda (and by extension, Anaconda) harms the Python ecosystem with their non-standard package format. If Continuum Analytics cared about making scientific packages like numpy and scipy more accessible, they would make binary wheels

This is exactly how I feel about the whole Brexit mess, as an European that is working in the UK. For me, moving here was as simple as getting on a plane and handing my Spanish identity card to a customs officer. This is my benchmark for th

I use http://listentothe.cloud/ , the mix of ambient electronic-y music and barely intelligible airport radio chatter is very pleasant to me. Also, I use http://rainymood.com/ for writing.

>Any chance you might come out with a model that detects body odor or mouth odor? Very unlikely in the short to mid-term. While it would be possible to gather enough data to train the algorithms to detect mouth or body odours, our chemic

Odours are just molecules that are detected by the cells in our noses, and it's possible to identify them with various techniques. You've probably heard of mass spectrometry, which tells you the mass to charge ratio of the molecul

If you already have a security vulnerability scanner that runs arbitrary triggers when something is detected, can't you just use ssh to run whichever command you want? i.e ssh root@machine 'systemctl halt'

I can't speak for gambiting, but I'm also going to leave the UK as a direct consequence of Brexit. It's not that it would be impossible to get some visa if I really wanted, it's that revoking the freedom of movement send

I've found that writing commit messages by stating the problem in the subject, and an explanation of the solution in the body makes them very clear and descriptive. For example: Problem: Windows build script requires edit of VS v

Webpages that mess with scroll behaviour invariably annoy me as much as those that autoplay videos, open popups, etc. I just instinctively ctrl-w that shit immediately.

Indeed, it's a neat "hack" to force yourself to write better commit messages. I think this style of commit messages originated from the zeromq community: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/commits&#x2F

Reading this thread is making my blood boil. But I have never understood what these people are trying to prevent. Are they concerned about someone's technical contribution to a project being rejected because of their personal views? I

Not necessarily... it would be impractical to use these radiators as web servers, of course. But from their video, it seems their main application is number crunching. The nodes would download the input dataset, chew on it for a while, and

Interesting idea. There's probably some clever software involved to schedule compute jobs onto the radiators; end users will want to regulate the heat output. Also, they must be using some rather beefy servers to generate an amount of

This seems quite similar to LabView. So I imagine it'll have similar pros and cons: LabView is great for putting together quick prototypes for e.g data collection or visualization, but it quickly becomes unmanageable as the complexity

I noticed this too. The combination of a minimalist layout, simple stylized graphics and clear writing made this article a joy to read.

Only applications that actually access URLs would need to generate an error. In practice, your code doesn't need to know about .onion domains - but network libraries like libcurl do.
