Not now, but in the future. Nobody thought we could fit desktop-class graphics cards into slim laptops, but that's a reality today. Though drones will probably go for custom chips.

But Nvidia's proprietary driver is a download right? Why is AMD trying to merge theirs into the kernel?

I remember teaching a 9 year old how to code. He was pretty comfortable in Scratch and he understood the basics like loops, conditionals, variables. He was able to program simple graphical Scratch games with minimal assistance (e.g. rock pa

There was literally a post about this on HN yesterday [0]. I'll accept that people using Linux are better at computers. But Windows is too broad in terms of user skill. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13111768

Living in Hong Kong, I don't quite understand why we're at the top of the list, given the prevalence of e-payment and the fact that most of the wealth here lies in property and finance.

It took me a little while to parse the syntax, but understanding the formula itself was simple. I think more people struggle reading math than understanding the concepts.

Calling Trump pragmatic is sugarcoating. I think he meant that Trump only sees dollar signs.

It's crazy, but that's actually the typical price of a single space in Hong Kong. A single space here sold for 620k last month.

For 1 parking spot There was a spot that went for 620k earlier: http://www.scmp.com/property/hong-kong-china/article/2040679... It should be noted that car ownership is much lower here though.

Parking shouldn't be free. If it's to entice customers at a store/shopping mall, they can be provided an hour of parking for every x dollars spent. Under-utilised parking spots should be leased or sold. (They sell for 80-300k

I'd say it qualifies as Hollywood Accounting if the revenue exceeds the budget and yet the project is still deemed unprofitable. I haven't really heard of this in the games industry. Typical Hollywood Accounting is when companies

Most vi/vim users I know have it mapped to Caps lock anyway.

You could map Esc to Caps lock, like most Vim users do.

Thanks for clarifying! I'll give it a try.

How is the hierarchial part lacking? Clearly the Godfather is in a higher position, as a result of simply having more associations and mutual favors than anyone else.

I found this video demonstrating ~300 APM, which is quite insane already. I think >500 APM is probably burst speeds, not sustained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmYhX8fjmo8

I've just began learning about endianness and I'm sorry if this comes off as pedantic, but doesn't the last example refer to bit numbering rather than (byte) endianness? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_

The schools don't offer them, as they aren't a part of the public curriculum. People are still campaigning for it. Apart from that there are free Chinese classes at some churches, that's about it. Outside classes are simply n

That's unfortunate. I was able to go to a subsidized private school for ethnic minorities, which cost about USD 300/month. Same local curriculum, all English.
