Not for much longer. Future versions of Firefox Mobile (i.e. what is Firefox Preview now) will, as far as I know, at best have support for the Mozilla "Recommended" extensions, which is only a small fraction (e.g. no Greasemonkey&

Our IT department is pushing Teams very heavily, due to the integration with Outlook etc. But one important feature that seems to be missing is for people to view a shared presentation full-screen, or even better on a second monitor. Perh

This is also showing in UK already, where mortality rate seems to be ~3% now. And it is already announced that people who don't need hospitaliztion won't be tested. So number of confirmed cases will appear relatively low but deat

On top of the missing extensions, Firefox Preview (nightly) also crashes a lot. Been giving it a spin in the past two weeks but I don't feel it's ready to replace current Firefox.

Agreed that the naive method will lead to underestimation of the CFR. Though I'm not sure if it's really as high as estimated here. Looking at the numbers reported from provinces in China other than Hubei (from https:/&#x2

Matrix chain multiplication can be seen a special case of tensor contraction, and the https://github.com/Jutho/TensorOperations.jl package has an implementation which tries to optimize the contraction order (macro @ten

And when Kennedy said "Ich bin ein Berliner", he was certainly not referring to the pastry (a jam-filled doughnut, though spheroidal instead of toroidal) known in most of Germany as "Berliner" but known in Berlin as &quo

No, the classical simulation should give you the whole wavefunction, from which you can get the full probability distribution. One run should be enough.

As far as I understand, the 2.5 days classical simulation gives you the total wavefunction, from which you can read the probability distribution. You only need to run it once. It's not clear to me whether the 200 seconds quantum comput

The Julia language is very lispy at its heart, giving you access to the AST and having "true" macros. The surface syntax however is akin to Python or Matlab. Granted, doing AST manipulations in Julia is more cumbersome than in Lis

My guess would have been a short for BEtter Lisp ;-)

Not so rare perhaps. London has a Goodenough College, presumably named after someone by that name.

I see, thanks. The linked release notes make it sound like the block is for all files.

And the best way to store hydrogen is to attach it to carbon atoms.

Whatever the "proper" implementation of these slice primitives is, for me the real problem is that, due to the lack of generics, one can't write a utility library that provides simple names for these primitives.

This helps me a lot as well, as I have a large variety of tasks which often run in parallel, and having essential info written down reduces time for context switches and allows me to keep my working memory clear. My technical solution for t

Article claims that "modern Fortran already has [...] generics" but AFAIK it's still not possible to write e.g. a type-generic sort function (unless you restrict yourself to types all inheriting from a common class, a bit lik

Another app for replacing the share menu is "AppChooser", though unfortunately it hasn't been updated since 2012. But it still works for me, at least on Android 6.

Not a very transparent update, and the sentence "anyone who uses their TaskRabbit password on other websites and apps should change them" doesn't inspire much confidence that the passwords were stored very securely.
