Julia came too late to the scene. When I first started using Julia 0.3, there was already Theano for Python, and Tensorflow was in the making. R for some reason is not as easily navigable as Python. The slowness of compiling Armadillo and E

E-mail has always been decentralized. But if you're looking for a feature-packed server/client, then maybe iRedMail and Roundcube will do? As for identity service, in its early years OAuth had many service providers. But then the

It is already doing what V8 does. It's only compiling when needed. The problem is when you start to put in too many things in the startup script, which is going to compile the things it says it "needs", even though you may ne

It's catering to Fortran developers. Matlab was also catering to Fortran developers (you can read up the history of Matlab). And I wouldn't discount HPC guys as non-developers.

They don't. The training dataset though, may have been obtained through human rights violation. The problem is when the novelty starts to wear out. Then they will start to look for fresh training data which may again incur more human r

Simple. If you stay on the same position, and the party you're talking to moves far to the left, you automatically become far right without doing anything. The tiki torch guys, well, they're the original far-right guys, and are st

I'd say being outcompeted by already thriving local flora. When "planting" they must have made sure that the conditions were optimal for survival (soil condition, no competing crops etc.).

Donations from employees, not the company itself. The company can't force the employees to donate in a specific way (or maybe they can. I don't the know US laws, but that would sound unethical)

What, all my life I thought that was the normal way of showering. So how do you people actually shower? You leave the tap on while soaping?

Hmm, that is starting to sound like nerve stapling.

So long as the AI can remain creative. Once it has exhausted itself of that while the niche consumers still crave for more variation. That's when children start to get hurt again.

Even in hard sciences such as physics, there is a problem where not many researchers have access to instruments used in the published result, or even if they do, it's just too expensive to do it just to replicate (low return on investm

> no obsolete constructs such as gotos How do you deal with resource management? Do you create a wrapper type for those that don't have automatic destructor? (I'm surprised that stdlib doesn't provide a wrapper for files)

At some point you'll want to do scripting to automate some stuffs so I don't think you could really fully get rid of it.

I couldn't count the many times I've been saved by the menu key, when my mouse somehow stops working for no reason. I hate that my current keyboard relegates it to be second-class citizen in lieu of the Fn key taking its place (wh

No, you only have the license, not the copyright. So you are permitted to redistribute the code as stipulated by the license, but you are not allowed to, for example, relicense existing code to something else like BSD (except for modificati

The postulate that college price inflation is a result of college being seen as essential to having joyful living may well be agreed upon, but as to why it is seen that was may, there may be other things at play rather than solely college m

Good article. Next time I ever want to revisit using C++ for scientific calculation again I'll keep in mind that Fastor has the fastest compilation time of all. Still, 2 seconds for just a benchmark code is a bit too much. I remember d

Hiding it from the army is not the point. Who knows if there'd be another maniac with a homemade gun or explosives out there, just like what happened with the ex-PM of Japan.

There are times when LeakSanitizer (in gcc-8.2) would not give me the full backtrace of a leak, while valgrind would, so to me it's still an indispensable tool for debugging leaks. One caveat is that it's magnitudes slower than va
