It's already the most trafficked animal in the world. Murdered by the millions in the name of psuedo-scientific traditional medicine. Hopefully after this world governments put a strict ban on its trade.

I love hearing rich people say stuff like "I can give $2800 max to any candidate". How super PACs are legal makes no sense to me.

SiGe transistors have been mainstream in RF electronics for decades.

Even though the Multi Scale Modeling video is extremely impressive - it is still an MD simulation that uses classical mechanics. A full atomistic quantum simulation of such a large system is out of reach for even the largest super computers

Question for Googlers or others: What do you think is the most well-written piece of software produced by Google? I would like to study how the world's best engineers write code. (Preferably C++, as it's the language i'm most

It will not compile. (As I said earlier, you can always fallback to a panic aka "I don't wanna deal with the error so let my program crash", but an error will not silently propagate through the stack)
729.
by typon 7y ago
You have to either propagate the error up the stack or face a panic. Rust does force you to deal with the error.

I don't understand why you would create a statically typed language but not actually take advantage of types, instead typing everything with generic types like string. Why make the user pay for complexity in types but not actually deli

If you take the MNIST dataset and generate synthetic data that has variations on the original images, e.g. rotations, added noise, different background images, etc. you will get a higher model accuracy than the baseline model in exchange fo

It's hilarious to me that the guy working on the Chrome performance optimization team and presumably a world-class C++ expert still has trouble with some questions about how the language semantics in certain cases. How do they expect n

Your systemverilog is quite readable and well written. Good work on the library. Always a pleasure to see people using stuff I developed (used to work on Quartus)

The CSV format is really ugly - i barely consider it human readable.

I wrote a SQLite <-> Json converter for this reason. Ended up coming up with a weird convention in the Json to represent relations. It might be cool to instead write a recfiles <-> SQLite converter. I want to use SQLite from wit

Any medium size or greater application either uses SQL or recreates a shitty version of it. You just can't write complex code without relations.

This looks really cool. Love to see z3 being used for tools.

I did start the car before hand - it sometimes helps. Depends on how severe the freezing is. The sideview mirrors are still an issue though

My dad owns a Civic and a Lexus, this has never happened in the past 25 years of living in Canada (and temperatures keep rising over the years). It's happening due to the door design of Tesla where the glass does not have a frame aroun

It was -5C in Toronto last night. This morning, I couldn't get into my Model 3 because the door glass was frozen. I got some hot water from the washroom and poured it over the glass and got it unstuck. Then I couldn't drive becaus

Stop working on string theory, multiverse, or some of the other mainstream theories she mentioned. Start fresh about how to approach theoretical physics instead of taking the above mentioned theories almost as a given and trying to do scien

Tbh parceljs does make bundling a lot better to deal with. For example, how would I integrate wasm using this?

I would want to invest in projects that I think will take off. For example, if I had to invest in Tesla, I would not invest in the Cybertruck. In fact, that project turns me off investing in Tesla entirely. But say, the Model Y, on the othe

Wish there was a way for public investors to invest in certain parts of a publicly traded company. If I believe in a certain project at Apple or Google, I want to fund it and get returns on my investment.

They absolutely should. This is why in engineering there are safety factors built in and ethical considerations seriously taken when designing projects.
