Its super simple to use for languages such as python or C++.

They are, certain components even in the smallest process have to be analog. One good process for analog functionality is 22nm SOI, 65nm TSMC also works very well.

Basically the majority of laws are now written by the EU. Welcome to democracy 2.0, where the campaign slogans for the EU parliament elections are something along the lines of - "We love Europe... " - "If you love peace then

You can move to Spiekeroog ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiekeroog ), they've banned cars with very few exceptions. I'm sure there are other Islands without gasoline cars aswell.

Well to be fair Mathematica had a client server notebook architecture since early on. Today it also supports a web fronted besides the now (QT based?) native client. The native client is way more powerful and performant than anything that J

It feels much worse to use than both Telegram or WhatsApp, both on Android and on OSX. I had installed it on iOS and Android and uninstalled within 10 minutes of trying to use it. That is how bad my user experience was.

Distribution maintained packages are a really bad idea. You start to realize this once you are not in control of the box you are working on (have no root access). Suddenly you are faced with CentOS 6.5 because some proprietary piece of soft

I think your last point needs more investigation and I don’t think the EU really wants to examine it in detail. Freedom of movement means that really productive and educated people can go wherever they want. I encounter groups of Italian an

I for one prefer that the developer of an application takes responsibility for its installation. That way you can blame them if it does not work. On Linux distros many packages are close to uselesss because they are outdated or have been mo

Without starting a rant myself about people that think C++ has nothing to offer over C, what is in your opinions then the reason for any large company to develop their code in C++ and not C? I'm thinking of virtually all Adobe Products

Basically you should know that people devote their whole life to one sliver of these subject areas unless they are absolute geniuses. You would be surprised how little working knowledge a let's say expert in statistics has of category

CMake is only complicated if you need to make use of its complicated features, which many build systems simply omit. Meson looks nice though.

People have done these calculations. They come out in favor of nuclear in terms of area efficiency and price per kilowatt hour. It is just that politically it is a hard sell in a lot of countries.

Skia is not so terrible, you just have to use their slightly obscure build tool. And it produces >8GB build artefacts with ~50 or more dependencies... Come to think of it is a bit of a nightmare.

Well as I said at least in Germany the universities have a web portal through which you can access pretty much any article you want electronically. The workflow for a student of medicine is something like: - Search for an article on PubMed

As an researcher I typically only encounter a paywall when I‘m not logged into my institutes VPN. In the rare cases I want to read something the university is not subscribed to, Scihub is indeed a good solution. Open access just moves the c

It has a steep learning curve, but overall I think it forces you to adopt good development practices from the start. Since it generates C++ you can also easily wrap that code and expose it to python. That way you can use software tools inst

Because everyone might own a gun? I live in a fairly large German city and I am not aware of any no go areas there at night or day. Some areas of Berlin and Hamburg might have them but generally we are pretty safe here.

You can typically get any paper your university library has a subscription to via the libraries online portal or if you are in the university network already at the undergraduate and masters level. If some journal is not available at the li

Its not a US thing, other countries such as Germany deal with it by making their hospital doctors work insane hours (manditatory 24 hour shifts on weekends from time to time (400-600€ extra for that unless you are in training, then you just

Ironically Schmidhuber's lab also came up with a more general version of bypassing http://arxiv.org/abs/1505.00387 to train deep networks (with similar performance), of which the popular ResNet is a special case.

Facebook should be treated like a publisher and be held responsible for any and all content it disseminates. If someone wants to publish something there publicly (visible to more than let’s say 50 people) it should have to be reviewed. This

Without government assistance it would be very foolish to not have children, for most people at least. So this cuts both ways. If anything it is more than fair. Rich people avoid most of the taxes anyways also in Germany.

Yeah how foolish of them to think that people don’t want to be tracked in their browser.

Another thing that is not well known about the brain (among non specialists) is that there are roughly one order of magnitude more glia cells than neurons in the brain, which while non-spiking definitely also respond to synaptic activity an

In Swift you can just write import Python var np = Python.import(“numpy”) And can then use numpy as you would normally. Same goes for plotting.

Personally I don't think it has any practical applications, but rather that this continues the trend of using the military to fund fundamental research. The main interest would probably be that HoTT allows for automatic theorem proving
