I never said anything in the article was wrong. I liked the article. The 'actually' part was just a bad habit typo I hadn't noticed until right now so I fixed it ;-)

If you use Nvidia Nsight you can see this exact same stuff happening every frame. Pretty nice tool to use if you ever wonder whats going on in your gpu every frame. We use it frequently for our simulation work.

Yeah unfortunately mine was a private, non-profit university (US) and I think because of that private status, they can change curriculum to suit their needs. I wouldnt have went to them if I had known that. Whats confusing is that they are

Unfortunately in my case it was a private, non-profit university which had accelerated degrees (5 semesters squeezed into each year) - I'm rather dissapointed at how it turned out for the price (almost 50k!) and I wish i would have jus

Nah, not rude =-) I consider the math I do at work to be somewhat advanced. Statics, dynamics, a touch of thermo dynamics, etc. But if you are talking like quantum mechanics or NASA JPL level math, then yeah I totally agree those topics wou

Yeah it becomes increasingly difficult as you get older. I really wish I would have gotten into it sooner. DIY math is great, but it taught me to be more of a loner than I'd like.

I agree 100% with you and, most of my situation was because I lean a bit too far in the "against the grain" category. Because of that, I definitely made it more difficult for myself and would regularly lose drive to continue becau

Thank you! I will admit that it was by no means quick or easy and there were many, many times I wish I could have had an actual person with me to explain it. Not to mention the frequent of wanting to give up when something wasn't &#x27

I really hope this doesn't come across as brash. I don't mean it to, but I must disagree with your assertions (In my case at least). Learning advanced mathematics without university is completely possible. Because it is at your ow

This generalized labelling is about the only way the US government can sway opinion because they flood television with these phrases. And because most of the US believe anything they see on TV without question, the government gets some sem

Yeah I have been doing software for a long time and a couple years ago I started getting into embedded software and loving it. I have found some embedded developer positions I could get into without an EE degree but would have to take a cut

Good answer. Although I'm actually kind of in the opposite boat. I've been doing software dev for a little over 10 years now and recently I have been leaning more towards electrical engineering. Partly because I loved electronics

I think it depends on what companies agree to not send you emails if you opt out. I'm betting if a company agrees to the dma opt out then they will stop and you will get a little less. But I think most advertisers don't care if yo

Guh. I have about the same amount of years with gmail and thats why I havent felt like switching yet. Because I'm lazy. Which is a terrible reason. With the amount of upvotes for this article, is it safe to assume people like (and trus

I could swear you were talking about me. Good post!

Yeah I find it hilarious as a contract developer how just because it's government software that means you can charge like 200 times more for essentially the same software any other client could get for like 1 million at most. I've

I can't speak for most people, but I was young and ignorant enough to get talked into buying a home that I couldn't afford during the housing bubble. I managed to make it 5 years before having to foreclose. It was a terrible money

So I know Sage is quite a bit more hefty than the standard Jupyter kernel, but I wonder if this could work with the Sage kernel? I quickly attempted it with no luck but assume with the right setup it could. Maybe?

I totally agree and I have a life insurance policy through my work, plus an additional one I pay for. Not 1m dollar policy, but decent and cheap (i'm a smoker). However, my qualm with the article is that it talks about this as passing

Suuure, now this gets posted after I JUST found out about it yesterday in a comment about the JupyterLab link.. Go ahead, rub it in more.. Seriously though, I never thought to look for something like this so I'm happy more people are f

Seriously? Life insurance is a great way to pass down wealth?? Depending on your situation, your life insurance will barely pay for the funeral. What, do you think everyone can afford million dollar policies for 'a few measly dollars

Holy cow I never knew that existed! My life could have been so much different the past few months had I known.. I bet I even skimmed past it on HN without even looking.. Shame on me

Totally agree. My larger notebooks get pretty ugly and I have to spend a fair bit of time cleaning them up. But that's probably because I am not the most organized person ever.

Agreed, however there are a ton of companies with extremely outdated os/browser policies, that refuse to update for whatever reason. Been a contract developer for ~10 years and even this year we were told to support IE 8 on a specific
