I guess it's mostly just a difference in volume then. Google tells me 8 oz translates to about 230 ml, that's pretty much the average glass of juice around here.

The first reference I linked specifically controlled not just for disorders that could lead to similar symptoms, but even things like the mother's socioeconomic status, etc. The effect was still huge. I don't think anyone's s

I'm not a medical doctor and not necessarily current on the latest research. However, there is quite a lot of evidence that general anesthesia is fairly likely to cause actual brain damage in infants and young children [1,2] with signi

Where have you seen a glass of apple juice with 300 kcal? In my (European) experience it's barely a hundred or so. Is this some American version that consists of vaguely apple-flavored sugar or something? I'm actually slightly env

I'm biased due to the performance constraints I work with and actually liking templates for the most part (apart from a few silly restrictions on specialization), but here's how I've solved some of those pain points for mysel

Ultimately, while the NK situation is unlikely to do anything in that direction, in the long term I don't see any sane counterargument to the notion that either we're going to have some form of a world government with an (enforce

Couldn't they just take the money owed the usual way, by freezing accounts, confiscating assets, etc.? None of these corporations can feasibly avoid that without exiting EU markets altogether.

I'll happily grant the point that unit tests are, to a considerable extent, the price you pay for putting more developers in charge of the same parts of the codebase. In my line of work that's usually not a concern, but I can see

As a physics PhD spending most of my time on writing code for numerical simulations, I generally agree that unit tests are a waste of time for most things. Unfortunately, most people nowadays seem to think you either fetishize unit test cov

Neither gestures nor voice input will ever eliminate keyboards for the simple reason that keyboards are vastly more efficient. No technological innovation can ever change that because the limitation is on the human side of things.

"Need" is a strong word, but you'll probably want to if you're trying to be productive. VR/AR won't replace the tactile feedback of a good keyboard, etc. Then again, as someone who can't even use current V

It's a good comprehensive list, but considerably biased by the author's research interests. There are lots of good theoretical physicists that don't know much about the specifics of string theory and haven't seen general

This may be a rather naive question, as I've never seriously considered a modern take on analog computers with differentiable signals, but intuitively it's easy to see qualitative advantages in algorithms based on differential cal

Since I don't see any flaw in your reasoning here, the obvious question becomes - why haven't they just moved to 16-way associative L1 yet? What are the hurdles?

Those are immense differences. The TP course seems pretty solid, but the ordinary Physics program seems to have significant gaps, even granting that not every undergrad might need much differential geometry.

In most post-Soviet universities I've seen, Landau's idea of the theoretical minimum is well and alive. Depending on the professor, Landau isn't rare as required reading in undergrad courses, and the notion that you should be

As a recent physics PhD in a European country, I went through Landau's books a number of times during my education. They were recommended (and sometimes required) during my undergrad years, and it was a bit of a struggle. During gradua

Excellent talk, it really makes one envious of the compile time facilities offered by D. Do you see any other languages out there being amenable to at least ideologically similar techniques, or do you think this design paradigm will remain

Just to be fair, and since you mentioned Julia yourself, it too has the expressivity of macros, the ergonomics of simple syntax and a GC as well as performance (often producing the exact same assembly as hand-optimized C/C++ ran throug

This is surreal to read. Unless that private school of yours costs $120K/year or you have huge debts, there is no way you cannot afford a lifestyle that would be considered unambiguously luxurious compared to the population that surrou
