Neuron count is fine for me. Lobsters an wasps are having about the same neuron count, slightly more than mosquitos.

He wasn't exactly the only teenager that were swept away by the rather popular national socialistic party at the time before the war. Germany was an important cultural influence and they sort of bootstrapped the economy, etc. There are

Less than you think. Recent x64 is a great deal faster than recent System Z if you compare just a single core. I think the total bandwidth is still better, but I don't know with how much if you compare high end systems. I would guess y

As long as you don't have to debug the output, yes :-)

Ah. Yes. That is also an alternative. Can plot directly to plotly from R too :-) In my case, I can't send sensitive data around - it might even be illegal, and did not want to shell out a large sum of money for my own personal instance

Hm... That's nice and all, but why this particular technology stack? How do you typically use internal business data? Is javascript really the best language for mucking about with large datasets? There is nothing wrong with building ab

Psychology has always struck me as mostly boulder dash, but psychiatry is supposedly better. On the other hand medicine seems to be a very authorian discipline in general.

I don't know. For most of then it's just a job. It's rewarding sometimes and sometimes not. A few of then really burn for it and make wonders. Others burned out. I think a surprisingly large percentage are not particularly su

I'm sometimes called my middle name, which I am not using. In Swedish, it seems that the rhythm or composition of the full name is rather important, so a lot of people are goes by their middle name. I guess my second name seems more pr

I have worked for years without an IDE because there where none. What exactly is there to learn? That you have to spend more valuable time on memorizing unimportant things? There are now some pretty decent autocomplete plugins for emacs, so

by kpil 11y ago
But if two people are subjected to the same learning, and one struggles and the other one is not, then that is an indication of ... what? bad luck? Sure, you can enhance and boost your memorizing skill, but there is a limit how far anyone c

It's blatantly obvious that some people seems to be particularly gifted in various areas, such as writing, art, or music. Clearly hard work is involved too. The scientific consensus seems to be that intelligence is hereditary to a lar

I saw it. I could not really tell if it was good - as it was now with the dark text. I can't help to think that this was done by someone that does not read that much. Younger people seems to prefer videos instead of READMEs, and I hav

I found it to be very distracting. The reading process stopped on every colour change - especially punctuation and conjunctions, etc. Larger blocks of cited text might work.

It's a really clean abstraction of a computing environment, which is as well defined and predicatable that is possible. I tend to prefer that to performance cludges, arcane architectural hand waving, and undefined behaviour. Some peopl

It's having a rather half-hearted schema definition language though, and the json-encoding itself contains a few fuzzy corners, lacking important data types, and is to be honest not particulary sophisticated. On the other hand, it&#x27

To be fair - the installable programs are quite old. C# is probably the best choice for Windows development if someone would care to write a desktop app today... I would guess that Javascript and COBOL have a fair share of all existing code

It's because there are risks, up to infections that eats your face and might kill you, and the implant does not last forever. I'm starting to get old, and I have realised that the trick is to keep all your body parts together unti

>individual business units can purchase cloud services with more autonomy Yes, this is also probably true, as hardware costs are typically very noticeable as they are large but few. The old trick of splitting the bill works fine :-) Anyw

You think like an engineer :-) I think cloud services are appealing for a couple of reasons from a top-brass perspective. a) You free the capital, and the balance sheet looks nicer. b) It's less complicated on a PowerPoint level. Just

I have worked with a couple of banks. My impression is that the main issue is that the bankers really don't understand software development, which is a bit ironic since they are heavily dependent on huge it-departments and behemoth sys

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV have an AM radio, and while there is some interference it's actually not much except on a few frequences. I admit that I spent quite a while searching for the most amount of noise.

Yes. What happened to time? I tried loading a C64 game from tape - and I could not believe that it took that long when I was a kid.

The state of the art is actually that the car can't tell diddly squat apart unless it's in the car's map database. So unless you hack the database and stand at the correct spot you can dress as any traffic sign you like...
