Why someone would willingly under their own name participate in these kind of flamewars that will be preserved for eternity is beyond me.

It is incredibly easy to create a website. As a member of a university institute you typically get a folder in your home directory "public_html", whatever you put there will be accessible from the internet. So you create an index.

I really don't get why the West is gifting all this technology to a competitor. By now it should be clear that in all cases of these joint ventures the only goal is to eventually clone the product. They have ripoffs of high-speed train

I associate the military with wasteful resource management and glacial innovation speed. The military in my country courently does not have working helicopters (they ran out of spare parts) and the rifles they use overheat and bend in comba

It has improved a lot over the last years. And python falls flat in other areas once you’ve hit a critical mass of code.

I am sure this is why the majority of software in use today is written in programming languages with great ergonomics such as C/C++ or Java. Besides you can’t use cargo once you are not developing a green field project and multi-langua

All the big automakers in Germany are looking for hardware manufacturers that will deliver them autonomous driving hardware. Their typical lead time is >3 years and they definitely plan to have such hardware in mass produced cars 2-3 yea

There is a free CUDA tool chain it is called clang, there just isn’t a runtime library or backend for any other architecture except NVIDIA at the moment although I think AMD is working on it.

You can be super emphatic an right wing, how do you think someone becomes a populist nationalist. Besides from a European perspective even someone like Obama or even more obviously Hillary (based on the amount of war mongering she has done

Yeah, Hitler explicitly referenced US imperialism I believe, when he talked about "Lebensraum" in the East. He had a similar racist rationale, why it would be ok to subjugate the slavs. This is not what I meant though. If European

There is a lot of shared cultural capital, you just have to visit the various art museums, you are just as likely to find French, Dutch and Spanish painters in Vienna as you are in Paris. The old European elites all shared a common culture,

Ironically for a long time (and to a lesser degree even now) European politicians constantly tried to emulate aspects of the American System. This is true on the macro political scale with a „United States of Europe“ being one ultimate goal

What matters in addition to grades is personality and people you know. Things stay anonymous in university during undergrad for the most part, but if you are really good professors will start to notice you and then you get invited to join s

You would still need to wrap it in some form for it to be useable from most other build systems except make. For build systems such as bazel this is quite some work for little immediate benefit.

Just look at the history of Congo for a continuous stream of examples starting with the colonization up to the various “humanitarian” interventions by “peacekeeping” forces.

Sounds like a nightmare, this is basically the type system of vanilla verilog: Everything is just a bitvector of a certain length, each bit can have four states X,Z,0,1, so that it allows you to assign to a 32bit vector a 16bit vector resul

The relevant portions of a supercomputer are not open source: The MPI implementation, the compilers, the CUDA drivers, some of the tools to monitor the system, the fancy 3D AR wall software and so on...

This is not really thinking though, just a ~3 hour commitment once to figure out how it is supposed to work.

All the FPGA tools by Xilinx work well under Linux and Vivado is actually quite pleasant to use. Almost all of the EDA tools can be scripted with TCL (cadence has a host of other DSL aswell) so you don’t need to use the GUI if you don’t wan

Any sufficiently large software project can't rely on the distribution to provide anything for them. The macOS and windows application distribution models are much saner in that regard. The goal should be a self contained, easily repro

Not everyone has a greenfield project the fact that it integrates with JavaScript seamlessly and generates readable JavaScript is an advantage. They go as far as providing a plug-in for the standard JavaScript build flow, so you can basical

Well Reason is really Ocaml, which has a much better type system than Elm (functors, open variants, a class system) , powerful meta programming (the react extension is just syntactic sugar around that) and is now backed by at least three la
