Does Fortran need to? Does Fortran still have any real advantage over Julia, MATLAB, etc.? Please forgive my ignorance. I've never written any Fortran. I understand how and where it's used in modern computing though. I also unders

I really, really hate the way this author writes. It's so needlessly verbose, obtuse, and condescending. I've written Node for a living. Mostly Typescript in recent years. I've encountered multiple codebases where previous de

That's a very fun example. However I'm a native English speaker, and I can't imagine actually writing a sentence like that. It's technically grammatically correct, but no one speaks like this. You would say "She

I think that the human mind is not evolved for, and does not cope well in societies at the scale we now live in. I think there's a certain tipping point where social cohesion begins to break down, and people's psychology begins to

I'm not sure what it's called, but I've seen a product which is a database of the time/location of US car license plate sightings. As I understand it, these are OCR'd from a combination of private, and public footag

I've been a long time i3wm user, and I couldn't be happier with my workflow. What network managers are people using together with i3? I've been using wicd for a while, however with Debian deprecating Python2 this won't b

This sounds intuitively correct with regards to the economics of property development. I'm not a property developer though. I'm not really that concerned about their profits. I'm a young person renting an apartment in a city

Why do so many people here take for granted that living in Asian-style megacities is inevitable, or even remotely desirable? I really don't want to live in such a place.

Thank you for taking the time to make a nice reply, and for not taking my criticism of your post personally. I really appreciate that. I feel like you have a very arbitrary definition of NIMBY. I'm writing this post right now from the

This idea is pure fantasy. This condition of classifying people as NIMBYs if they disagree with you on this topic is incredibly toxic. There are a plethora of totally valid reasons why people would be opposed to endless urban sprawl, cons

Sydney's metropolitan area is already oversized. People are already regularly commuting for well over an hour to the city center on congested public transport, or driving on congested roadways. I don't think Melbourne is much diff

Is this on account of cost, or simplifying verification? I was under the impression that minimising the overall risk of a design was a major consideration. I'd love to know more about how these design decisions were made.

Apologies for a silly question, what exactly are we looking at here? I've seen the inside of an F-91W, and I always imagined that under the black epoxy blob was some kind of off-the-shelf microprocessor (most likely 4-bit) with a mask

I look back very fondly on this era. In retrospect, it seems like the internet was a much more optimistic, much less cynical place. On a similar note, does anyone else find that new forum software UIs aren't nearly as nice and easy to

I'm an Australian with family in eastern-Europe. I get my dental work done there at a fraction of the cost of doing it here in Sydney. The quality is at least on par with Australia. I was unable to travel for a few years on account o
