Please do! I at least would enjoy reading about any and all of those topics. The learning about new things is what fascinates and interests me and I would prefer reading about things I have previously no idea about. Very much appreciated if

Surely you are not serious. The diversity of Linux package managers has led to some great ideas, with different distributions implementing some things differently. Open source software means everyone is free to scratch their itch, and that

Exherbo is the singular item on that list which does not use ebuilds; the lack of progress and technical stagnation of Gentoo is what led to the Exherbo founders starting their own distribution and develop a new package format. The package

I have been using Exherbo for about 5 years fulltime and never looked back. It is a vanilla source-based distro with a focus on flexibility and users who know what they are doing. I would recommend people check out what it is about if that

It's more true in this case than anything Jon Oliver may have done (who indeed tapped into a wider, already-existing movement to end civil as was mentioned elsewhere on this thread). The Zadroga Act was severely at risk of not getting

It has happened with major pieces of legislation a few times at least; another high-profile comedian well-acknowledged to have turned the tide of public discourse is Jon Stewart. His work on the daily show single-handedly ensured that the Z

It gets an incredible amount of use in the physical science and applied maths communities, and that's not only in academia. It's an extensive standard for message passing that allows distributed (non- shared-memory) computations.

But by forcing out people who cannot afford the water you are driving out essentially only lower-class people which is unrealistic. More problematically, these are specifically people for whom moving is more difficult since they lack the fi

While what you say is true, I would draw a different conclusion. It seems more likely that the students would prefer working in a field closer to what they studied, but the lack of positions means they had to look elsewhere. Finance knows t

The Daily Show is still on the air (on cable, so to speak). In fact he hasn't even announced an end date yet.

"not quite wrong" ? Is your critique of the wording of the article or rather of the parenting; that is, are you suggesting that it is close to wrong for parents to give their kids an edge, so-called "privilege" over ever

FFTW -- Fast Discrete Fourier Transform. Reason: it routinely beats proprietary FFT routines on real & complex and single & multidimensional transforms, and with better accuracy.

It's amusing and ironic that your username ends with 'novak' given to whom Waterston was speaking!

You do have a point. One thing I am unsure of is whether we can know who referred to it by the incorrect translation first -- the university, or the public.

Only if you assume that English should be the default language when it comes to higher education institutions' names. And we all know Japan has a bit of a reputation for xenophobia. I wouldn't expect this to change any time soon.

That's only true if you are using those features 100% of the time though, right ? By which I mean, there is no doubt a trade-off in play when you only use the features for 15% of your workload. This is because the chip must be powered

Forgive me if I am missing something that is obvious about ROWE, but what is to stop management from shifting the goalposts in a ROWE ? By continuously requiring more from their workforce they are receiving more hours of work from them whil

Can you elaborate on the flashing/calibration? Is that to get better than 30Hz at native 4K resolutions? For coding / web browsing, how good is the screen (i.e. can you notice lag for those use cases). I have heard mixed things ab

Fellowship income (for example from the STEM fellowships) is not reported as earned income for sure. It's less clear for other positions. Consider this from IRS publication 970: “Scholarship and fellowship payments are compensation for

Another thing I find interesting about "PhD-employees" in the US is that we are considered students when it helps the government and employees when it helps the university. My main complaint has to do with the nature of taxing res

Yes but there is a way around the problem -- you can list your number under the previous owner's name. Then whenever you get a phone call asking for <Previous Owner's Name> you know you can immediately hang up. I agree it&#x

I'm an applied mathematician, working on my PhD at the moment. I do a good deal of programming(HPC) but I wouldn't consider myself quite at the level of a hacker.
