I cannot listen to music whenever I do anything else than a braindead repetitive chore. I've always thought that the fact that I am a musician is related; I think I cannot help but try and analyze the music I listen to. However, I enjo

If my memory does not fail me, this was still being used in the late 90s/early 2000s. I remember buying a TV tuner (PCI?ISA?) card especially for the purpose of unscrambling Canal+ using tools downloaded online (I didn't have the

I literally have 2 laptops, 1 tablet and 1 desktop computer at home that friends/family gave to me because they were about to throw it away. Why? Because they were too slow, ie, for some reason windows was something something. After an

I agree that there is a difference between video games. However, I do not agree with your example. Elements of randomness don't mean a (video) game is trash, and I personally think Mario Kart requires effort to be good at. :)

I agree with you on something: too many discussions mention 'screen time' as if anything done on a screen was perfectly equivalent. I really feel that playing a videogame/coding/doomscrolling/watching ads/readi

I would be interested in knowing which country you live in? Can you elaborate what makes you say cars are better?

Are you insane? Then what, abolish poverty, stop human exploitation, and maintain the ecosystem that allows our species to survive? You dangerous revolutionary.

I usually use CMA-ES as a 'very easy to set and up and better than brute force' approach. Am I dumb to do that? (genuine question, no irony, optimization is not my field at all)

It is definitely hard to remain calm in front of alternative facts. However, I believe it is a very serious issue and I would like to somehow do something against it, someday. I don't know how though; but in the meantime, I keep up t

Oh I agree. I read tinfoil hat conspiracies, right wing media, religious stuff, ... but I wouldn't call any of these the 'best written paper'. I should have made it clearer that the rating as 'best' was the surprisi

Well, to me le monde belongs to moderate right-wing media, or at the very least enlightened centrism. It all depends on how left or right-leaning you feel I guess.

by nicoco 5y ago
This is genuinely suprising to me. How can you find le diplo the best written paper in France and consider yourself right-winger? I thought anyone right of Mélenchon would not bear reading more than 2 lines of it.

Let me jump on this opportunity to give a little unpopular opinion on the M1 MBP, after 1 year of using one (being completely new to apple), since most (all?) of the comments I have seen here are dithyrambic. Granted, the hardware is great.

Numba is better in my opinion for the use case you describe, less hassle. However, (I think) cython is superior when: - you want to distribute (eg as a pypi package) your code - you want to interface with C/C++ code libs I found out I
