Not many options left for exchange scholars beyond the extension of J visas now. It'll have some impact on science output in the US.

on average, the Lisp programs ran significantly faster than the C/C++ programs and much faster than the Java programs (mean runtimes were 41 s for Lisp versus 165 s for C/C++). The only thing I can say is that th

It's a problem with macro heavy code in Nim currently. Macros on typed NimNode still touch too many undocumented/unspecified Nim internals, that it always takes me some time to actually figure out what is the culprit. On the othe

I have love-hate relationship with Nim. It's the best C alternative I can find for our high performance supercomputing needs, yet it breaks my code [0] (yes, it's broken with 0.16.0 now) every single new release for the past year

Buzzwords aside, why do we need GPU-accelerated terminal emulators? What is the real speed constraint in a terminal emulator?

I couldn't find any concrete specifications on the webpage. Can somebody provide a link with actual details and without all the nonsense buzzwords?

This is fantastic. You can almost use it as a serious console font, except for the single quote being only two pixels. And there is a whole suite of CJK characters. But the up and down arrows are not symmetric, ↑↓.

What you are doing is fine except that when some fonts have their own flavors of the box-drawing characters. See monofur for an example.

Just like every laptop/phone/tablet has a built-in microphone and we can't turn it off either. All it takes is for Apple/Microsoft/Google/Amazon to push a system update, and, voila~~~ Skynet listens to all.

Keeping up with the LLVM internal API is really a pain with the six month cycle. Is there a plan to stabilize it in the near future? I can see some open source project start to really drag, julia is still on llvm 3.7, so does ghc 8.0.1.

Anyone who had raised a child would tell you that, a human, requires years of training to learn the difference between a dog and a cat, by looking countless examples. Of course, the disparity between deep neural nets and human brains remain

DEVONsphere does something close to that. It does a simple keyword analysis and searches local/web. But what you are describing is more of a personal research assistant that's way beyond what today's system can do.

Did anyone try Linux or BSDs on it? Do they damage the speaker too? I don't expect Apple to release Linux or BSD drivers. So people should be very cautious on running other operating systems on new macbook pros from now on.

It's a very good learning process. But once your project scales up, you are essentially writing your own libc. And there is no portability. It only works with the specific architecture's calling convention and the specific c com

For effective use of such vector instructions, languages like C/C++ really fail at giving enough hints to their compiler. An advanced inspection tool in clang/gcc would certainly help humans to write compiler friendly code, but t

This is the real question here. Unless the mice can explain itself to us, we really have no way to know. But I'm not so sure about the ethics of conducting such experiments on humans.

I got -4 just for stating the same opinion, and found out your comment at the end of this page. Since everything is really text here, the typical UNIX way of doing things seems to be much more practical in dealing text transformations here.

Right. That depends on your target customers. You need to design a simple DSL that tailored for your customers and make them pay!
