AFAIK, STTNG has one other advantage. They used real models and DS9 mostly switched to CGI. Old CGI is harder to beautify than models.

A couple of years ago (last time I worked with it) the SAP developer server images for consultants (iirc. it was preconfigured ISOs, it was a bit odd) ran on SUSE so there's a tight connection between the two. Since both have German or

It's common practice in psychology degrees to have some of your ungraded but required credit basically be "participate in the studies of others". I get why they do it this way (otherwise there wouldn't be enough people w

It's still useful to understand data structures and algorithms on a conceptual level. Even if all you ever do is use premade ones it's going to be nontrivial to pick the correct ones in some cases if you never thought about the co

I consider it a little dangerous to rely on a single news source. Granted HN as an aggregator is better than relying on a single paper but it's still a bit unhealthy to read all news in a HN framing (assuming you read comments+newsite

One of my favorite sites of all time is searchlores.org I still visit it sometimes. I'd say it qualifies as fun and probably a little weird as well. RIP Francesco.

If you want to try modelling some stuff with petri nets, or rather more advanced abstractions, there's the FLOSS tool called "Renew" (Reference Net Workshop) from the university of Hamburg. The UX could be better but it'

First Go, now Starcraft 2...I fully expect archery or women's golf to be conquered next. Someone at deepmind must have an axe to grind with Korea ;)

This is also pretty huge from an ecosystem point of view. It means you can have books, video series, tutorials etc. targeting this final feature set which is very nice. Not that it's a huge issue but it's cool to buy a programming

How well would it work as a testbed for learning algorithms? I heard that you get good access to game data etc. Would it be feasible to be profitable at mining if you have a great prediction algorithm? I know nothing about the game but that

I own an English version of her book and recently bought a German copy to give as a gift for Christmas. Strange as it may sound, even though I don't really like the "style of the method" it's very efficient. Thanking the

I'd call it an axiomatic system rather than a religion. Austrians distinguish between theory and history (pretty bad name). Theory is basically the action axiom and what you can derive from it and history is the application of this the

Oh boy from experience this is a very loaded discussion. I personally like the Austrian framework because I find it aesthetically pleasing (I guess I'm a sucker for deduction). Some of the writing is simply intellectually interesting a

It's still very popular in Germany with new adventures, boxes and also a lot of novels set in the universe being released. As an aside: I also really like the old PC games "Das Schwarze Auge: Die Nordland-Trilogie" (Realms of

In Germany there's at least one other big P&P RPG called "Das Schwarze Auge" (sold in the US as "The dark Eye" iirc and not very successful). I think it's a good system and the lore is pretty nice (even tho

I'm a very avid boardgamer (>100 games stored in a dedicated room) but CCGs never really interested me. I played some MTG way back but it was always very obvious that those games are a money sink. I like LCGs a lot more because you

Why is there an NLP book on the list (on page 5)? And no not natural language processing but neuro-linguistic programming. I read a bit about NLP on the train a couple of years ago, did some research and came away with the verdict "pse

Interesting, this must be very different in other countries. Pretty much every iPhone owner I know communicates via instant messengers, usually WA and not iMessage.

I think the other two "mainstream" messengers I use (Telegram, KakaoTalk) are as simple or simpler and also ad-free. Kakao also has E2E encryption after a bit of a struggle, Telegram had it for a long time. I think WA is the most

I kind of agree. I find the way the fastai library (which builds on PyTorch) is written does not match my personal preferences very well. That being said I still really enjoy working with it and the courses do guide one along quite well. I&
