Much depends on the subfield, but here are two shortcuts to understanding a dense paper: 1. Many CS papers are presented at conferences, and many of these talks are recorded and available. 2. Look for a paper citing the one you are interest

There is something to be said for leaving a platform if you do not like the direction it seems to be headed in, even if you could compensate for the issues in the short term. Otherwise you might sign up for years of incrementally increasing

Do you have any kind of source for this? As far as I am aware, estimates for deaths based on thyroid cancers are ~160 [1]. Not 'thousand, just 160 – you claim is off by five orders of magnitude. Estimates for the total death toll are

“Fledern” is not actually a German word (in any kind of common usage at least). A literal translation of flying would be “fliegen”. Apparently the word fledermaus originates 1200 years ago and is derived from “flattern” (to flutter).

If you find chess variants interesting, I would recommend looking at Go [1] as well. It is similar to chess in that it is an ancient turn-based strategy game for two players and with perfect information, but I find it much more pleasing fro

Distributing children of age 10 into groups based on their predicted future academic achievement works about as well as you would expect (i.e. not very well), but the redeeming feature of the system is that it is reasonably fluid and you ca

On linux you can create a network namespace exposing only the wireguard network device, so that applications in that namespace cannot leak traffic. Setting this up, however, is quite fiddly in my experience.

Why not puts {Hello!} # or even {puts} {Hello!} ? But I do not see an advantage either way. I think you attribute to quoting issues that are caused by type-punning. The quoting rules of Tcl are simple. I mostly encountered

Busy Beaver-type functions (counting how long a program runs, provided that it terminates) might look like a mere curiosity, but they make interesting statements about the power of different systems of computation. For Turing machines it gr

I believe GP is referring to the 10% boost they observed, not a hypothetical 7% boost as in the article. (7×24×0.1 = 16.8, while a 7% speedup would result in ~12 hours.)

Having the “the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable” does not help you any if the device refuses to load a modified kernel. If the GPLv2 were sufficient, then why would the FSF see a need to create version

You can get the code, but you might not be able to do anything with it, as there is no obligation for the manufacturer to enable you to run the code on the device itself. GPLv3 intends to cover this case, but the Linux kernel is (not withou
