Here https://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot... I count about 40 plus more which are not listed. You surely could first make a dictionary or structure and fill it with these arguments. But then &qu

One thing that recently surprised me is that Rust lacks default values and named arguments for functions. Some consider it a counterpattern or bad memory to be able to not fill out all parameters or reference them by name. However some inte

Could it be the moral cost that is factored in when valuing companies under their cash value? Some companies come with liabilities that are not in the books; such as having promised to guarantee their workers wages or retirement for decades

Do you use ZFS? If no then you should use ECC memory. Now the half truth becomes full-truth.

I don't see what makes workers born in America more important than workers born in any other country. Everybody should get the same chances.

It's a simple two-step process: 1. Have good genes. 2. Don't have bad genes. If I can do it, everybody can!

Moores law has been the driving force of chip development? Prophet Moore predicted the future and now engineers start breaking the law? Isn't it the other way around that Moore made an observation about some effect that arose naturally

I'm fascinated by consensus algorithms and would love to implement one myself to synchronize unreliable systems (e.g. a network of independent sensors with a common database running on ESP8266 modules). I didn't study CS, so I did

If they included a breakable USB cable, most people would have been happy. For some reason they didn't.

Variable clock frequency is something very different from being clockless. Clockless architecture is also not about the general processor design.

Does that mean you cannot use robots, nor can you use humans, to clean up this mess? What do you do then?

Somehow it seems strange that Japan, the motherland of robots, fails to build a robot. Money can't be the reason. There has been an investment surge into radioactive cleanup technology starting with the damaged reactors six years ago.

What about 3D acceleration; does it come with drivers which fully support OpenGL?

You can check the source code of the script. You can not check the source code of windows. Who of those could have something to hide?

Another modification would be: * Allow the group to punish those who keep for themselves.

I have a little modification of your experiment. * Divide the big group into smaller groups (where they are giving each other inside the group only). Now individuals in the group where many give to each other get an advantage over individua

In reality your body could have barbed hooks which insert easily but dig into the walls when you try to pull it out. Wiggling doesn't help there.

I think you're only half-right here. You cannot do this kind of error correction it like ECC checking in the CPU because it would require multiple clocks or too many pins. You cannot do this kind of error correction across multiple DRA

Beside stacking layers on chips, stacking multiple dies is also used to increase the density per PCB area. (I believe that works for DRAM and flash.) The package you see on the PCB may actually hold tens of silicon slices which themselves e

While your technological reasoning is valid, it explains a factor of price difference but not a change of the difference which is the original question. The "3D" process explains an additional factor coming into play at recent tim

by static_noise 10y ago
I'm thinking like an MBA here because that's how you have to think in order to reason about the price something has. Yes, those factors are important! But are they also the main driver of cost? I don't know. Could we have spe

After reading through the answers here, I don't think the real answer has been given. Is it the technology? * Flash cells can store more data an be produced cheaper per cell. But they are more complex to read out and slower. This can e

by static_noise 10y ago
All things you mention combined only explain a factor up to 4 (probably much less since the complexity increases). With a factor of 2-3 already being realized years ago.

Not if the people with the degenerate version also have another mutation that interacts. If you only fix one, you run into a third kind of bug.

Are you saying because it can do A it can't do B? Are A and B mutually exclusive per se or is that just an unfounded assumption?

We would have needed nuclear yesterday. Right now renewables are the most promising path. New nuclear probably wouldn't make a dent until it's already too late. Of course we need storage and backup generators for renewables. It wi

How did they come up with the figure of $0.40 per minute? I can understand why they say "per Minute" since you think in seconds (which would be too short), minutes (just about right) and hours (which would be too long). But that $
