Those are really ignorant statements. Bosch, Siemens, BMW etc. definitely pay well and employ plenty of talented people.

It has worked great in the US, see the DARPA challenges etc. Plenty of those programs have worked out, it is pointless to point only at failed ones.

Well that is kind of my point, as a company you would think twice about screwing over a country that is capable of such brutality. If you look at Britains leaders today they are old, really poor and hold second class BA degrees in geography

What I really hate about this is how once great nations like Great Britain, which at one point ruled 1/5th of the planet, surrender more and more of their competencies to cooperations. It is high time to fight this and stem the tide.

Maybe just to elaborate: In contrast to rust, C++ is a standard defined language, with >3 mature and competitive implementations, two of which (clang / microsofts compiler) provide excellent tooling and support for refactoring (clan

A bit surprising that he doesn't mention any other C++ based kernels such as https://github.com/l4ka/pistachio/ and most of the fuchsia code base except for the lk micro kernel. In my opinion fuchsia points t

Luckily drones still have significant limitations on achievable flight time. Some of which are dictated by the laws of physics. So for the foreseeable future there won’t be any bird sized drones chasing you down. Military drones on the othe

Astrophysics and cosmology are both relatively straightforward. There is one set of partial differential equations that are relevant, a few more when you also want to understand things like the magneto-hydrodynamics of stars or charged gas

To keep in your analogy working in mathematics is more like working with a codebase that is ~100 years old and that still contains all the dead ends, unused code and false starts, because no code ever gets deleted. It is basically impossibl

If this is indeed true it is a killer argument for moving to sweden.

One nice thing is that this algorithm is very amendable to being augmented with additional data. For example if your initial adjacency matrix gave equal weight to each outgoing link, nothing is stopping you from measuring the actual "t

My understanding is also that it is. Your implementation drove the point home for me that it can be practical. The dictionary is rather simple - a lambda \x . f(x) is known as an "internal hom object" - you get a closure by using

It's very easy to change the search engine to duck duck go.

It's sad how the introduction of a new class of devices "smartphones" brought along with it a surveillance software platform in the form of Android. Where it is clear that the only incentive for google to develop it is exfilt

There is an XServer for macOS and it allows me to successfully use proprietary cad tools from the comfort of my mac, without having to login to a centos 6 installation via thinlinc and use some atrocious window manager.

Yes because there is no standardised build system for C++, which makes integrating non-header only libraries a pain (or at least somewhat more painful), especially if your aim is cross platform code. In that case you can not rely on a reaso

He was an idiot in the sense that you obviously should not write and distribute an essay at work on a sensitive topic, if you are not an “expert” and were not asked to do so. As far as anyone reasonable could tell the facts he cited are cor

Well you have to see the pieces in person, I think some of them look fantastic if you already own a completely ridiculous mansion or a semi-public space like a luxury resort in Dubai or something. They are definitely cool to look at in a mu

Jeff Koons Art ist actually pretty good, I can’t say the same of Banksky. The value of Art is sometimes inversely related to how popular it is, because it then can be no longer used to signal that you „get“ it.

I don’t really care either way. There are quite a few very good female string theorists, who presumably got through the hiring process without any affirmative action. High energy physics is a very competitive field you just can’t afford to

I think it is unethical to hire someone, if you are both part of a special interest network of any kind. If you compare their citation record on ( http://inspirehep.net/author/profile/A.Ceresole.1 and http:/&

That piecemeal house building is also a great way to dodge property taxes and other taxes (income from black labor), as you only pay for finished houses and the contractors in cash at least in some countries. The phenomenon is very common i
