I don't think anybody's first paper will be accepted at a tier 1 conference. It takes practice to learn how to write a paper, not just in style but also the substance. In academia, your supervisors will typically help/guide y

That's what a bull market lasting eight and a half years does to public sentiment :) A crash would make for interesting times, that much is certain.

That only works if you have the nerves to sit out a crash and the (hopefully) subsequent recovery. I'm really curious how the majority of ETF investors would behave then, given that there hasn't really been a crash since ETFs achi

The first rule of AliExpress is you don't buy anything that comes into contact with >12V on AliExpress unless you want to start a fire. The logic board probably isn't going to set your living room ablaze.

Yes, most of the ready-to-use solutions like Philips Hue are very expensive. But there are cheaper options if you're willing to tinker a little bit (and wait a month for things to arrive from China), like $13 smart light switches ( h

Like so many tools that originate in that time, it is very efficient after an initial learning curve. I use LaTeX to typeset theoretical CS things (papers, exercise sheets, ...), and those often contain a fair amount of mathematical notatio

That order is no good. You’d want to check what other people have done in that area before you spend weeks figuring out the details of your idea, let alone produce a decent paper and publish on the arxiv. Not to mention that the arxiv is

Yup this is generally handled very well by Emacs modes and quite useful. But the electricity in C++ mode can be super frustrating when using C++17 which it seemingly hasn’t been updated to handle yet. For example, it keeps double-indenting

Well at least they're consistent in communicating it badly! At least for the kimsufi line, you still get the old price if you renew in November. Guess who just renewed for another year ;)

That email was really bad, "New: Anti-DDOS Next Gen" is not a suitable subject line for what boils down to a 20% price bump in my case. They don't even state the new prices in the email, and the linked page ( https:/&#x2

Oh come on kuschku, stop it with the deliberate misinformation about Signal! You bring nonsense like this up in just about every thread on Signal and it's becoming harder and harder to assume that you operate in good faith. Moxie is mo

But isn't Scott's point that "he's an asshole but hear him out, he might have something interesting to say" isn't true because his arguments are intellectually dishonest? He's rejecting Luboš's clai

That's not entirely true. I'm a PhD student in theoretical computer science and some of my colleagues work on (hyper-)graph partitioning, both of which are NP-complete. For most real-world instances, nobody has any clue what the o

Too bad this doesn't seem to work for amazon.de, .co.uk, and probably others. I'd love to get a report like that.

I wish show-Avasarala was as abrasive and foul-mouthed as book-Avasarala. That would make it even more fun, but would probably make the show harder to show on TV ;)

The series is mostly true to the physics (they speed up travel times a lot, but that's kinda required for a TV adaptation), with the notable exception of a certain manoeuvre in the 11th episode of the second season (which the writers h

I've read the books, and without spoiling anything, there's a lot of crazy stuff to come. You should continue reading! :) (and don't forget the novellas and short stories) Plus, the second season only covers about half of the

For your ~/.gitconfig: [alias] co = checkout psuh = push s = status l = log d = diff And then alias g=git in your shell configuration. "g s", "g l", etc. But nowadays I just use magit.

I’m not defending the shit Lenovo‘s been pulling these last few years, but it’s worth noting that none of it (neither the Superfish fiasco nor this) affected ThinkPads. Apparently their consumer line and ThinkPads are run quite separately.

Hm I'm not sure, I haven't used it for that so I don't know. It's mostly designed so that you don't have to take them off for a quick interaction, so it's definitely not optimized for your use case. For examp

I use 3M ClearE-A-R (UF01021), they're transparent and cost about 3€ for a reusable, washable pair on Amazon Germany. It does change the sound but I think that's inevitable (EDIT: for this price range, at least)

Once, when climbing a 7-pitch route in Switzerland, the party below us involuntarily removed a loose block (mostly held in place by vegetation), maybe 30x30x50cm. We had noticed that it was loose and it had a sling fixed next to it as a rep
