I rarely lose my patience, I do love the subject of sustainable growth and will check your video.

I'd like to see grass-fed meat meeting the demands of 5 billion people. No one is arguing that the environmental impact can't be reduced. I'm just saying that people are blind and don't care about deaths caused by having

Meta-analysis answers all of the questsions, one can't be sure before one is done.

The irony is that this change has nothing to do with expertise. It is entirely subjective. Scala has awful types. GHC 7.10.2 change is still elegant.

IOI and IOM contestants (and those who do both) probably know much of the material. Most of them aren't geniuses, just kids with persistence, good guidance and lots of time on their hands.

MEGA might not be safe anymore. Kim Dotcom doesn't work there, there was a hostile takeover.

Yes, it performs well, but not as well as it could. Would a matrix expression in breeze be matched by one of the fused functions of LAPACK (performing A*B+C in one pass)? I'm not sure of that. If you needed to squeeze the last bits out

Data.Bytestring is still not as fast as it could be. Just try counting the number of eol characters in the bytestring (or any kind of character). Now do the same with `wc -l`. They did make the library perform well, but there are tiny detai

Rarely do I ever manage memory in C++. As much as I adore Haskell there's a bunch of stuff you cannot do fast enough in any of the languages described above, as easily as you can do it in C++. Try writing a fast A* (without any pointer

A 10 part documentary is being made by film director Noah Hutton, with each installment detailing the year-long workings of the project at the EPFL. Having started filming in 2009, the documentary is planned to be released in 2020, after t

Yeah, I've noticed that ever since I've got Kindle my collection increased enormously, and there's still a stack of around 300 ebooks I haven't found time to read.

Does anyone have the experience with speed of convergence for some advanced models? And, defining sequence models in these probabilistic programming languages? Seems most (if not all) probabilistic programming languages use sampling as a ge

Yep, also Outfit7 is definitely a good example how even in smaller countries one can achieve great success, I believe that founder became the richest man in Slovenia due to the success of his apps. It's quite weird that Europe can be c

Workflowy reminds me a little bit of a desktop app called Zim, although Workflowy and Notion are prettier.

Yep, it's perfectly fine by me too. Not that downvotes or upvotes mean anything. My comment was not serious at all, just a little bit of provocative commentary.
51.
by skimpycompiler 11y ago
Yep, that's how one downvotes irrelevant comments.
52.
by skimpycompiler 11y ago
Downvoting should be used to indicate relevancy. The comment is obviously relevant. They downvote because most are still little boys and girls just exerting their right to downvote, not intending to use it for it's real use.

He obviously added the efficiency to the pot. But energy use is one of the main factors of growth. That is one of the reasons why newly emerging economies from the third world feel like their growth is mutilated by all the requests for redu

Very nice article, along the lines of The Limits to Growth. It is a big question if technology can solve all of our problems. Technology is definitely a part of the solution but human mentality has to change. Most of the people care about t

What I still do not know and always wished to know when I learned Haskell was how to write efficient code easily. I wrote huge projects with thousands of lines knowing nothing about C++ execution model and had insanely fast code (that could

This is not true, unlike C++, Haskell's syntax is enormously clean and easy to parse. It's in no way comparable to learning math notation or music notation.

The problem is that they cannot do that easily. It's no longer a little company, it's a giant with it's own clauses and rules. Maybe founders want to do good, but now, they are stuck with this big behemoth of a company they c
