Yes, it depends a lot. Typical signal-processing tasks you will definitely want to hand-optimize, no matter how good the compiler is, it will never be able to get close to hand-crafted SIMD code in combination with careful memory-layout, re

The demographic is huge, an insane number of tablets have been sold and are being used. I'd estimate over 50% of the people I know have a tablet at home, and most definitely more have a tablet but not a PC, than vice-versa. The whole

Better app discovery could help a lot: even if 90% of your potential customers are unwilling to spend more than $0.00 for apps, that still leaves literally millions who would consider buying if they were only able to find it. It's not

I feel the same, yet I'm starting to realize that maybe I'm overestimating the importance of always being able to catch the first available bus, have a perfect connection at the train station, or not having to ask around for direc

That seems like a strange way to put it. Apps can still do all kinds of nasty things inside their sandbox, for example calling private API's that are now supposed to be caught in the review process, but also less obvious things like ho

Well I'm not from Sweden so I cannot comment on that, but it's a well-known and documented fact that e.g. here in the Netherlands, ethnicities other than 'Dutch' are over-represented in about every negative statistic tha

Why? If you don't care about spending extra for the dongles, after you've bought them there basically are no downsides to having to use them for legacy devices anymore, but all the advantages of USB-C still remain. I don't un

I did exactly the same, but instead purely for fun and learning. Picked a random/blind clip from a naughty movie for extra motivation to get the first frames to the screen :D I also worked from just the reference book, with no prior kn

Pretty awesome, I've always wanted to make something like this myself, but listening to the demo on SoundCloud I don't think I would never even get close to this :-) One question I have is how difficult it would be to adapt a soft

I've considered the 2015 MBP but decided against it. The old MBP cannot drive the LG 5K screen I ordered alongside the MBP to replace my ageing iMac 27. I also like the improved screen, and for future-proofing the improved graphics and

It's only for vim (ctrl-[ by the way, not ctrl-], but you can map almost any key you want). I don't actually use esc that much in any other applications so for me its not a big deal to use the softkey instead.

I'll add my $0.02 as well. I didn't buy my MBP because of the touch bar and would actually have bought a 15" MBP without it if it had been available, because it seemed gimmicky and unnecessary. I've had the laptop a few

To me, the Bolt looks just like all the other (non-EV) small/medium-sized hatchbacks, I'd say it's one of the things it has going for it compared to other small EV's.

For the application we were considering and the algorithms we liked from CGAL, exact computation wasn't really an issue. I agree 25K is peanuts if the choice is between developing yourself from scratch or licensing something from CGAL.

It's quite expensive, especially if you only need one feature from one package that depends on multiple other GPL packages (which is most of them). Everything included we got quoted over $25K for a feature which was decidedly non-trivi
