I'm daring to post from a position of ignorance, trusting intuition to be correct. But this is a framework for shipping (graphical and other) workloads over to the GPU. Surely it isn't mobile-only? Just for instance, Apple sell

Parent post is extremely clear in its meaning. You have taken half a thought, the entirety of which is a clear argument, and demanded explanation. It suggests either intellectual dishonesty or simple laziness in reading. The shortest part o

UK post offices have been offering banking services for decades, in the form of savings accounts, current accounts and access to financial services. It has even entered the argot, with people likely to refer to the concept of cash savings

Hold on, you have to think about the users, not just of your site, but all the sites out there. It's utterly infuriating as a user to have your UI hijacked, by which I mean actions which are normally consistent across the system stoppi

Indeed, it's quite likely that rather than bringing out flavour through some sort of chemical or physical change, the dilution just reduces the alcoholic bite, allowing you to enjoy the other flavours more. But still, you can certainly

It just makes so much sense. Of /course/ the puck should be instrumented, what century are we living in? The posters below who say it was a terrible invention are missing the point. The technology needs to be more advanced, not le

Big deal, every product gets it's-not-for-me-so-it-must-be-stupid comments. The 'Pencil' product is a good example of the points made in the article. It's a souped-up stylus with some nice features and pretty hardware. B

On a logical basis my statement is fine. I could have written 'snowboarders who seem confused that crossfit is not trying to be canoeing or flower arranging.' :-) But yes, apologies for my poor terminology.

Meaning no slight to your character in general, in this conversation you are one of the extremists. There are plenty of countries (large parts of Western Europe post-WWII) which have had predominantly left-leaning governments for 60+ years

You'll find it disturbing if you fundamentally distrust capitalism. It's true many social workers tend that way. We won't settle anything in this discussion: it's fundamental to the left-right divide. One side thinks tha

The football clearly hasn't been fully commercialised. A durable foam moulded ball is one of those ideas that's super-obvious but requires just the right material to actually be fun to kick. Surely once the right polymer and foam

Not everything has to be symmetrical. The phenomenon as people observe it primarily occurs with a young man doting on a woman. Mentioning the age of the participants: it seems to be a set of unhelpful behaviours that the guys eventually gro

As an outsider, a LOT of the backlash against crossfit seems to be snootiness from traditional weightlifters who seem confused that crossfit is not trying to be powerlifting or bodybuilding, although many of the same exercises are used. Cro

It solves a problem, if the only computers you can use: - are slow and virus-ridden. - don't belong to you, and you have shared or sporadic access (not a good place to leave your files). - don't have the software you want, and y

Beats is a big brand. Despite snootiness from audiophiles, the 'goodwill' value of the business must be significant.

It is, but it doesn't do versioning, and people often like to target specific versions of the libraries that their programs depend on.

More like an interactive calculation and graphing environment. 90% of the time, for me, the key output is a set of graphs. I like the consistency of plotting them programmatically in (matplotlib) code, while the interactive cell-based forma

What a good question. Personally I curate a directory structure served off an old linux box in my house. Items created on other machines get synced in by hand. Data is stored in whatever source format it was created in, and obscure formats

After years of writing everything in casebound A4 notebooks, I am currently experimenting with B5 size (in between A4 and A5). It's a bonny little size, still plenty of space on the page and fits on shelves better.

The mainstream of political/economic thought is that economic power, in the long term, derives from inclusive political institutions. It can be gained in the short term when totalitarian regimes have incetives for growth and sufficient

I'm not enamoured of them, but it's quite possible that they will be popular with the world at large. One factor is that so many laptops have frankly bad touchpads, that people may see the touchscreen as an improvement. People see

Could anyone offer any tips for evaluating processors in this post-megahertz age? My 2012 Macbook Air (base 11" model) has a 1.7 GHz Core i5 processor, yet I understand the 1.4 GHz (Haswell) Core i5 in the latest machines performs sign

I work for a small mechanical engineering firm with an HP Designjet. It may be of interest because our experience seems somewhat different to the home users posting here, in that: 1. It has 'just worked' for over a year without ma

People are defending the 11" Macbook Air with that resolution, but you make a fair point. I have the 2012 model, and it is an absolutely superb machine, but the lack of vertical pixels is its weakest feature. Reading documents is far f

There's tons of Python too, wouldn't you say? In a way, it's good - people are discovering what works and moving it forwards. Language fragmentation often seems like a shame - because most of the time, programming languages d

I would have done. Having once convinced myself that four satellites shouting out the (accurate) time is sufficient to locate oneself in three dimensions, I assumed that was all there is to it.
