Glucose is harmless and can be metabolised by any cell in your body, while Fructose can only be metabolised by your liver and produced a bunch of undesirable metabolic end products in the process. It also blocks leptin, the antagonist of in

Clickbait title and not very interesting reporting. I stopped when the author posited that Buffet was treated "like a Kardashian" by the press.

I'm not so sure, CS is essentially a new blue collar job. There need to be lots of computer programmers, but they don't actually need a university education in most cases, so in countries with working vocational education tons of

I think that is true for most German speaking universities. I know for a fact that both Unis in Munich and Heidelberg basically teach PhD level courses in Undergrad in the sense that there is no Graduate Electrodynamics and Undergraduate El

I think you are missing the point, you don't need to get 2.2 bn to migrate to your new platform, just "strongly connected components". This is why for example Discord or Slack can exist even though they have some overlap with

Well the c++ code is pretty good... In any case it works much better than the signal app on android.

I like how they do very good engineering (just straight C++, Swift, with little to no external dependencies) with a very small team of apparently very talented people. Most of their products are typically owned by one or two people. It&#x27

That must be why almost any time an EU related thing was put up for a popular vote it was rejected by the people. I can think of Maastricht, the EU „Constitution“, which was rejected and then rebranded and simply put up for vote 2 years lat

You know I would be happy if the Linux community produced one working desktop environment instead of 2-10 different versions for each component depending on how difficult that component is to implement.

I don't see facebook surviving long term, they have close to no hardware presence (with the exception of oculus) and all their products are constantly challenged in one way or another. Very few people I know actually use facebook and e

They are also capable of integrating with Power9 via OpenCAPI, which is the configuration in which many of the Volta based HPC cards by Nvidia will be used in.

They've already build their own ARM cpu's, they are in the TX1, Nintendo Shield for example. Their most recent Volta GPU made significant progress in terms of general purpose programmability, it gained a much more flexible memory

I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn't touch a system controlled by Google with a ten-foot pole. The amount of information they have on me is already staggering, no need to give them the last few percent, too.

No they ask you to activate nicely with a grey overlay in the bottom right corner. This can be disabled but is not that annoying in practice.

This is a strange way of phrasing the result, since the participants were all from a group of university students their skill distribution in all those fields was probably above average with respect to the overall population (especially sin

What should one use instead? VHDL, Bluespec, Chisel? I don‘t know of any solution that makes verification significantly easier compared to SystemVerilog.

No there isn't, Google developed a CUDA frontend for clang/llvm which targets PTX (nvidias virtual machine instruction set), in principle someone could come along and implement a different backend for this frontend targeting for e

Winning the most votes is irrelevant if the contest was something different. I‘m sure the campaigns would have looked differently if the contest had been about the number of votes.

It is 1/4th of Toyota's or Volkswagen's revenue of one year, so not that much. And last time I checked they did not create a game for recruiting tech talent either.

Android is not open source in the same way that gcc is. Sure it uses an open source license, but it is fully controlled by google.

by orbifold 9y ago
Unlikely because GCC deliberately made it hard to reach into its internals for a long time. The only other implementation is the one by Microsoft based (presumably) on their C++ compiler.

The way I read this was a bit different: NVidia actually is the only vendor that offers a performant, complete and relatively bug free implementation. For example if you consider this http://gdcvault.com/play/1020791&#x

Maybe that would happen if kernel developers were not such divas and thought it was appropriate to use coarse language in public discourse. Nvidias graphics drivers work perfectly on windows and they have the only OpenGL implementation that

Airports comission their own fonts and so do cities, car manufacturers and banks. Typically they are proprietary and might even have an exclusive license because they are considered to be part of the corporate identity.

Because the library you are trying to use it is written in C / C++, which is more likely than that is written in rust.
