Well back in Win 98 I used "My documents" a lot ahah. Now on Windows 10 Documents/ is often automatically backed-up in Onedrive (it is for me) so I started using it for saving some documents that I want to back up in the clou

I agree that this article paints an unrealistic picture, and that broadly speaking an induction stove is "superior". But I disagree with "in all aspects and ways, by large margins in every direction". Cooking meat on a w

I thought this was well-known? I live in Montréal and there are pretty serious regulations on wood burning stoves [1-2]. I grew up in a wood heated house and I sure love sitting by the stove, but that was in the country with extremely low h

Oh, didn’t see the date. Perhaps one should add (1996) to the title.

I'm confused by this. Which free software has its documentation in a proprietary book? A textbook is not documentation². ROS, PyTorch, Tensorflow, Julia, Python, Emacs, you name it, all have free online documentation as well as non-f

Well you read me wrong! I absolutely agree with you that working insane hours is, well, insane. It only personally happens to me in short bursts. I’m only stating that many grad students work crazy hours. You’re right in questioning the pro

I disagree with your idea that, because something can be done for 12 hours, it should not count as “work”. You also say reading is important, and yet seem to omit it when asserting that a grad student’s day of work can be compressed into 1-

This is such an ignorant comment. 1) actually paying attention to an advanced academic lecture requires serious mental effort, so by your definition it is work. It is also not useless, unless purely academic work is useless to you 2) I don’

MDPI also publishes some high quality work, in remote sensing serious labs do publish good work in their journals “Forests” and “Remote Sensing”. You are right to be skeptic, though. They have very lax review processes and will publish anyt

In French, we say podomètre so let’s just say I thought a pedometer measured something else than steps.

I just love how this gets progressively harder to read!

I think so too, and I played a lot in Vanilla. Shadowlands looks to be interesting.

Inventing a method isn’t the same a re-implementing an existing method! Again, useful re-implementations are a good thing that people should be rewarded for somehow, but they are not new science.

Personally I wouldn't be mad, the homebrew and hacking community will probably stay strong for years. I'd be surprised if you bought it think you'd be playing brand new games?

« I spent most of the afternoon hacking away at some unsupported edge case on an unsupported platform which is inadequate for what I’m trying to do. It doesn’t work, which is clearly nvidia’s fault. »

I, for one, wouldn't support practicing social distancing every year to prevent the flu season. And this always has economic effects as well.

I disagree, I cite important work all the time and you definitely need the original paper. Paraphrasing isn't really done enough to negate the need for the original paper, otherwise what kind of lame plagiarized paper are you writing?

That's just crazy to me. Similar 4G data caps in Canada would run you well over 100$ per month.

Thank you for sharing this; I'm doing a Ph.D. in robotics right now and am contemplating moving back to my small hometown after. Remote working in robotics is always more tricky. I've talked to a least one startup who was open to

I don’t get this article. How should an ISP benefit from being a cloud provider? He says that they’re going to be able to « move data to and from AWS » or something... 1) that’s a terrible idea it will be slow 2) Starlink should work just a

Pings and upload speeds seem impressive (although as someone else said we'll see when under load). I come from a place (rural Canada) where a non-trival amount of people who live far away from town centers do not have access to decent

My answer to that is: what about PCs? Of course you're right, and I'm right too (I'd like to think ahah). This is freedom at the cost of security; this trade-off, as in real life, has no simple solution. I certainly don'

I think your argument is invalid, because i.e. Epic wouldn't want to share a buildable XCode project of Fortnite with you. The 99$ fee is also unreasonable IMHO. Also, building complex applications is far from non-trivial; it's ty

Unless Apple really screws up, that malware would have to be downloaded and installed by me. If I "flip a switch" and enable that option, that's on me. PCs have always been like this and no one bats an eye. I'd be willin

I disagree. I like Apple products, own an iPhone and iPad, but I wish I could run any code on it because they are my devices. Having a streamlined experience overall shouldn’t prevent me from installing an emulator, and shouldn’t trap bus

You're answering to a guy who's been in 2 computer science labs focused on robotics! It is true that a lot of people have an EE/ME background, but I think you'd be surprised at the amount of CS people in robotics. Especi

From my robotics point of view, probabilistic programming looks really attractive, and this paper seems to give very interesting/neat examples for control and Kalman filtering. I wonder what has prevented these languages from being wid
