Incidentally, I found a cool way of checking whether NaN occurred: Just do: void some_function(float number) { if(number != number) number was passed in as <NaN> } Took me a little bit to get my head around it but if the number

Charities can and do steer activities in a commercially beneficial manner to suit certain stakeholders. I suppose, non-profits are similar.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, sorry for sounding a bit cynical, I will take a look at what you do in more detail, but the sponsors of this venture surely want some return? My, as yet uneducated, layman outsiders guess as to what that retu

I am cynical. What's your angle? I presume that the idea here is to find open source projects to become heavily "invested" in, and then find ways to extract out a commercial offering, whilst engaging in (free) open source lab

When my child gets older and leaves home, I won't be saying its the end of him. He has just matured. Similarly, this just marks the maturity level of Windows, where there really is no significant innovation in operating systems release

I like the landing page. Its got the right balance between text and whitespace/images etc. Its a shame though, that when you click the links, you navigate to pages that adopt a different theme entirely. It would be better if all the si

Why do you presume that once you come off facebook, your data is not used? That is not true, the data gets used and pimped around to the highest bidder. What is true, is that as time passes that data has less value (assuming you actually st

It is not possible for the algorithm looking at the LIDAR input data to have the same level of discrimination as humans, so this would be a possibly in my opinion.

Jesus. What makes you think you are so special? And if you think you are, then you are part of the problem. I for one, shall not be changing my behavior to suit yourself.

Yes, I seen the lady in charge of the regulator (not police) on Channel 4 news (here in UK), stating that she will likely be in on Wed and they cant walk in right now. See for example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technolo

Authorities cannot get in until an estimated Wednesday. Tomorrow, they will apply for a warrant from the court, as they did not get sufficient answers to questions previously asked. Now Facebook has moved tonight to go into the London offic

Can this be applied to Path tracing? If so, would this be able to accelerate something like OctaneRender? I stumbled across this a year or so ago and was amazed at how the realistic image is built up after rotating. https://home.

Who would the guardian (and therefore responsible) be - the driver or the car manufacturer? Sounds like a circular argument to me!

I agree. If I ever need to use regex, I will dive in, but I don't mainly write software to process text. I mainly write control software for various things like subsea oil wells, oil rigs, gas turbines etc. It is enough for me to know

I used to work at a company that did Dynamic Positioning systems for vessels and oil rigs and I worked on the periphery software systems running with a Kalman-based algorithm there. Didn't work on the Kalman stuff then, but I do think
