This is a problem I encountered just recently, even if your bus might in principle support byte wise access to memory, it might be the case that one of the custom devices on that bus simply ignore that feature, leading to surprising and unp

The example in point 4. does almost no bit level manipulation and when it does, it does so with locally hard coded constants and shifts, which is probably one of the worst ways of dealing with this.

This is not a huge problem anymore, because scihub exists. For academics it also doesn't matter because they have a university library subscription for all the prestigious journals.

You can write modern C++ with no overhead on a system with just 16kB of scratchpad memory. It is much nicer to use than C (namespaces, auto, templates and lambdas alone).

Even if you use fusion power you need to use some mass that you can accelerate and then expel opposite to your direction of motion. So while you would need less fuel, this is only really true if you also have what would amount to a miniatur

OCaml has parametrized modules, confusingly called functors, a very nice feature along with first class modules that Haskell doesn’t have. It is roughly speaking used wherever one would use a Typeclass in Haskell http://ocamlgrap

That is not true, it is perfectly happy to compile files that have a .C and .H extension as modern C++ :).

HPC has the same problem (ancient bespoke Linux distributions with strange tooling) one way to solve it is spack https://github.com/spack/spack . The ops person where I work is so much in love with it that he tried to

Nothing that can't be fixed by a bit of Psi Ops. Pretty much none of the traditional media companies like Facebook and in most of Europe at least one TV station per country is state controlled. So all that needs to happen is ~6-12 mont

The only thing I'm really amazed by is how the European countries still allow them to operate, they should be fined until they exit the market and their operation made illegal. Probably they provide sufficiently useful information to t

Actually the real name requirement and the fact that anyone could easily find me is what kept me off Facebook, so I don't consider it a killer feature at all. If you know my real name it is easy enough to find me with some additional i

In principle every problem solved by facebook in a centralised fashion has already been solved by phone companies in a decentralised fashion. You can buy one or several numbers, which are quasi anonymous and distribute them to anyone you ca

They also build two build systems in ocaml http://jbuilder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and jenga, which support incremental fast compilation, so the answer is most likely yes.

Facebook, along with the military industrial complex is among the places I wouldn't work for any amount of money. Privacy is a human right and Facebook is by far the worst human rights violator and enabler in this respect. Their behavi

I really hope that eventually they will get thrown out of the European market, GDPR is a start. I think their business model has no place in a free and open society.

I think the problem is that most of the data they have on me is implicit in the data they have stored about other people. They definitely have my phone number, but I'm not sure they store the result of a computation they could easily

Ok, well this is just great. So Facebook has all my contacts from their aquisition of WhatsApp and even though I've never used any of their Apps or had an account with them, I'm pretty sure everyone I typically communicate with ha

Simple, you don't. Most people are perfectly fine leaving the past behind. If I'm no longer in touch with someone there is typically a good reason for it.

If what you are saying is true (bachelors being valued the same) then this is kind of sad. I still believe that the old diploma degrees were one of the competitive advantages that our industry had. And from personal observation I can tell y

Not true WhatsApp has a very anoying and jarring "floating keyboard" bug for some time now. Basically it breaks and lags for a few seconds if you quickly switch between portrait and landscape mode.

This is a bullshit link if I ever saw one... I mean of course the Department of Agriculture will recommend a high carb diet, given that they are mostly concerned for an agricultural sector that produces corn and other grains en masse...
