Linux Gaming might not suck anymore but all combinations of Linux the desktop operating system, that I tried certainly do. Both windows 10 and macOS are so much nicer, more stable and consistent that it is not even funny. Just the other day

It is relatively clear why it works beyond the training and validation set: What is being approximated is a smooth function, which in the case of a classification task is a function from the space of things to be classified (images of a cer

You are doing them a disservice. At least for cross platform C++ the best thing to use right now is CMake, followed by Bazel and gn (what chrome uses). The reason CMake is a good idea is because a large number of C++ projects support it and

That sums up pretty nicely, why I don't use Firefox. On Safari it only managed to spam my history and download cat images periodically, but I could easily close the window and it didn't spawn any additional windows.

Copy a link send it as an IM, that already worked with ICQ. Update your status message in your message client, manually or possibly provide a client side API to do that, pretty sure there are scripts that do that for pidgin / Amarok, i

In the case of ARM you actually have to pay them extra for the privilege to implement your own architecture and there is no guarantee that they will allow you to do it. Furthermore you have to prove to them using their test suite that your

It means that you are allowed to design/produce a chip using this instruction set without getting sued.

The unfortunate truth is that even among good theoretical physicists there are few who would be able to teach such a course. The main reason is that a mathematical description of some of these things is still scattered in the research liter

If anything the default Ubuntu desktop has gotten a lot worse. i3 is not an option if you want to use commercial EDA tools on Linux. I’ve gone from a daily linux desktop user 10-8 years ago back to macOS and Windows. If you think Windows is

They made no or almost no profit with their retail business for years, that was the only way they could expand so quickly.

They literally can’t afford it, they have razor thin margins. Their business model depends on inhumane working conditions, which is why I would be glad to see them go (not that this will happen, but at least in Germany they have received so

For c++ there is root/cling which is what all the experiments at CERN use in one way or another. They offer a Jupiter plugin as well, but it can be used in the console independently.

I've never found any of the autocompletion packages emacs had useful, mainly because their implementation continuously broke and they never felt solid. The story is completely different in visual studio code or visual studio for that m

Given that the biggest threat humanity faces is climate change, support for crypto currencies in their current form is morally corrupt. Also I don’t see a reason why I should buy into some scheme that disproportionately benefits early adopt

There is little reason to believe that China would expand beyond its historical borders, they have enough people and land as is.

Reddit has a lot of similar dynamics, you get karma for submissions and comments. Depending on the subreddits you post to you get very different feedback. Try to debunk or contradict any conspiracy theory in /r/conspiracy or say

I would not dismiss C or C++ as viable avenues of progress. There are viable C++ / C only deep learning libraries https://pjreddie.com/darknet/ , available that are easily ported and embedded C++ can be pretty ple

I would say that a successful male has more choice in women to reproduce with. Presumably whoever is chosen has above average genetic material as well. So it’s not so surprising that one can still see an effect of this. Moreover success in

Would be interesting to check to what degree that was true for LLVM, Swift or other high impact projects while they were still in their infancy.

Both in Syria and Lybia you had quite a few special forces on the ground and some of the war lords / Kurdish militia got equipment and funding through western intelligence agencies. In the case of the Syrian civil war you could follow

Funnily enough even a lot of string theorists such as Edward Witten were funded by the department of energy.

I agree that it is highly unlikely but it was deemed far more likely when CERN was founded.

CERN is a international cooperation of many countries on neutral (Swiss) territory. While maybe not emphasized in recent years one real danger of high energy particle physics is the discovery of an effect that can be weaponized. Right now t

If the western particle physics community goes along with that it would be pretty disappointing.

So EG15 at 13.26 monthly salaries works out to about 70000, which is roughly a Assistenzarzt (medical doctor) makes after 4 years of work. If that is indeed true it is pretty pathetic. From what I've heard of people moving into industr
