{0} is measurable (It's a borel set) with the standard lebesgue measure and has measure 0. Of course, with some other measure it might not be measurable, but that would be a weird measure.

I am a professional software developer / data scientist :) I definitely agree that video rendering and HPC is not going to go well, but that is not that relevant to even many "pros" The scope of the professional software worl

Professional means that I use it in the context of my profession. For me, the new touch bar pro is fundamentally better than the old for what I do because I need more battery life but I also don't want to pay a weight or size penalty f

Wifi struggles hard in British buildings but the difference between 80/20 and 1gbps is huge: worry free multiple streaming or uploads or anything involving more than one person or even 4k streaming for one person The upload does matte

This "bootstrap" appears to not be the "bootstrap" regularly encountered in statistics, just fyi if you were confused like me for the entirety of this article.

The first three are from countries where Eads doing well is a political thing: Britain Germany and France own chunks of airbus and have a lot invested in it doing well. The former flag carriers are only nominally independent from the state.

Conjugate gradient (And other krylov subspace iterations) are basically a generalization of power iterations where you consider the whole set of {b, Ab, A^2b...} rather than just the one.

Far more likely is that the SSD controllers that WD-SanDisk will create (that are the value-add difference between commodity NAND and good SSDs) will now use RISC-V cores. Samsung has a 5-core controller in its drives; I would guess that li

It died because it couldn't become an actual product and had a lot of very smart engineers spending a lot of time on something that had no future. Some of the core tech was reused and turned into other products.

This is the general rule of thumb for `var` in C# that I've seen, which has similar issues to `auto` in C++. That said, there are awful compiler inferred types that C# doesn't have, so `auto` has a much wider application than `var
