Telegram hires excellent developers and was started by someone that had successfully run a company before. The clients for the different platforms in the case of telegram were developed by very small teams (1-2) of exceptional programmers.

When I joined twitter a few month ago to promote my scientific publications + open source software projects, I set myself a number of clear rules: 1. Don't engage with or comment on political / social issues. 2. Don't install

There are lots of non-gaming related apps that would be near impossible to use as a visually impaired person. Among them image/video editors most DAW (digital audio workstations) etc.

I think that is more a matter of being young (a kid or young adult) as opposed to related to any specific technology. Think of all the books that you could potentially read if you wandered into a library. Decades of knowledge waiting to be

I agree that calcium seems like a natural candidate and I suggest as much in my thesis. Coming from physics, I didn't know about reverse replay in the hippocampus for a long time, but I also have this association now. I would be glad t

You can actually calculate exact gradients for spiking neurons using the adjoint method: https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.08378 (I'm the second author). In my PhD thesis I show how this can be extended to larger problem

Well to be more precise the script contains functions of course , each of which produces one of the figures and takes the path to the data / data as input. In any case the REPL has no place in such a workflow because I want to be able

I and probably many others intend to develop reproducible figures. The way to do that in python / matlab is to have a script which loads data from disk and then produces a figure (a png / pdf). You then execute that file many time

This seems very strange, why on earth would you pay that much to listen to music and who are you trying to impress? Is there some implicit assumption that you can meet otherwise unavailable women / men there? That seems extremely unlik

Yes I know and there are some people in permanent psychiatric care without any perspective for improvement with current known methods, some are kept almost like animals or permanently sedated.

There is plenty of evidence of inhumane treatment in psych facilities over decades, including human experimentation, drug trials, debilitating brain surgeries, electroshock therapy etc. Psychiatry is probably the single medical field that h

There was a narrative that was pushed by Davos and others that advanced economies should be structured around services. I talked to economics students in Manchester at some point and they sneered at me, when I argued that Germany was in a m

One thing that helped me manage anxiety was to monitor my caffeine consumption more closely. I found that if I went over a certain threshold (> 4-5 cups of espresso) my overall functioning was pretty severely impacted. Sometimes this res

I think the novel thing is that this is doing it dynamically, which bypasses the static analysis and makes it applicable to situations where static analysis wouldn't be useful.

I think it makes a ton of sense for things like EDA software, they have to run on beefy machines that are shared between users and the user experience over thinlinc / X11 forwarding is typically pretty atrocious. If you sell that solut

Combining C++ with python via pybind is something bazel really excels at, with CMake you end up maintaining two disjoint build and packaging systems.

I think the diagrammer is worth leaving through a bit, even as a complete non-expert: http://cds.cern.ch/record/186259/files/CERN-73-09.pdf These are the very practical rules of computing some of the most fun

What I would prefer is a set of protocols that are interact in a well defined way with each others, like the Email or Usenet protocols, then you can write different clients for these and decentralisation is just a matter of running differen

My understanding of the political system in Sweden is that the administration is unusually independent and not very political. That leads to way more rational decisions compared to if politicians made the decisions. Also the infections were

That is a really absurd statement. If you can't vote, you can also not run for public office. The way you enact change in a representative democracy is to organise, create a party and then get elected, or to join an existing party and

Yes it was meant as shorthand, also I'm not an expert, but I worry that applying evolutionary pressure on the virus in the way it is done right now might actually produce undesirable results.

I really don’t understand why you would criticize the article for writing about elementary ideas like symmetry over and over again only to write your own introduction. Also your characterization of the Langlands program is completely off.
