I'm not sure where you get the idea that Genghis Khan is hated in China. As far as I know, he is considered one of the national heroes, I guess partly because China controls Inner Mongolia. For instance, in popular culture, such as Jin

"One could say that GNUstep is a very nice woman, but without proper make-up and with a shabby dress. Although the expert eye could see the star sparkle, the average person maybe would prefer a more normal female with choosen make-up a

I can assure you that jellyfish is a "fairly common" dish around Shanghai. Besides soy sauce, one can also mix it with some cucumber, black Zhejiang vinegar, fine slices of chili pepper, and sesame. It's a common cold dish. S

You don't necessarily need 10x effort (depending on your definition of "effort"). I'm a Hongkonger. I had lived in Montreal since I was 10 until I finished my bachelor's degree. I didn't really do Saturday scho

It saddens me that so many people focus on the graphics aspect of Vulkan. I wish there were more beginner-friendly tutorials of Vulkan compute . If I'm not mistaken, only 2 out of the 7 tutorials listed cover compute.

There used to be some kind of urban legend or joke about CdS, where a banker refused to invest in CdS, saying "Who the hell would lend money to a bunch of clowns?". The banker, of course, headdesked very hard and for a very long t

I remember living a month in Tokyo back in 2006 (or was it 2007). The house I shared had this toilet where the wash basin drained into the toilet tank. The faucet is activated when you flush the toilet. So once you're done with your #1

"Fuyao faces [...] a lawsuit by a former manager who says he was let go in part because he is not Chinese." Somehow the opposite scenario could sound absurd in China. Imagine "General Motors in China faces a lawsuit by a form

I don't know Linux internals enough to be sure, but maybe this bug is a big deal because it would circumvent logging (even remote rsyslog daemons)? I.E. a sudoer could do nasty things on the system while leaving little to no trace?

Given that Bach has just a bit over 1000 pieces of work, and they post usually one piece, and sometimes several short pieces every week, this project will take about 15 years to complete, which is quite impressive.

What part of that page says it has to do with version 2.79 of Blender though? I think the actual page that talks about Cycles rendering performance improvements in version 2.79 is this wiki page: https://wiki.blender.org/ind

This is not actually calligraphy (yet). It's just typeface style transfer, which is an probably an important step towards calligraphy. To be really calligraphy, you would need to train a NN that controls a robotic arm holding a brush.

I really meant "graybeard". I think "neckbeard" has a negative connotation, whereas "graybeard" is just supposed to mean somebody of older age who is knowledgeable.

I can't tell whether you are being sarcastic. Seriously. I hate Gentoo with a passion. Being able to pick versions and set flags means that, between any two Gentoo installations, the difference is likely bigger than any two Ubuntu 16.0

So it's now harder to say with a straight face "we're using robots because it's more ethical than exploiting people". "No, it's just cheaper."

I don't understand why they removed support for Silverlight and Java, but kept Flash. Are Java applets and Silverlight apps demonstrably less secure than Flash? Just as a naive metric, if you look at the CVE database, there have been a

I don't understand what's with this issue: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/2236 What does Intel RealSense have to do with any of this? Is it a GitHub bug, showing an issue from another repo?
