Does it mean that whoever selects (controls) the committee pretty much selects the fate of the bill ?

a few minutes of testing tell me that it's the tool I've been waiting for :-) the shape recognition is a bit rough... I need to make an almost perfect circle so that the tool recognizes it...

I'm usually using Krita to share notes when in videoconference calls... But that's a bit heavyweight :-) Will try this one asap !

In my university, we do that all of the time. Of course, professor knows about it and subtly changes the question for the examination. So as a student, your best option is to actually prepare as many of the questions in the bank of old test

Thanks to some hints in those articles (basically, enabling incremental builds on release mode), I've been able to remove about 70% (yes!) of the build time :-) Thanks!

Looks nice. But miss this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Constraint_Language That little language really helps to express constraints over data.

yeah sure, I have zero user and well, it may be like that until my death :-) that project was an excuse for learning rust. But now I understant rust a bit more, well, I'm a bit scare to wait 45 sec on each build for a side project (ie

How fast is it compared to rust ? Do you know. I ask because I've started a side project in rust because all of its guarantees were appealing to me (I don't want to spend too much time on bugs, and my code uses some threads). I al

For the little data sciences like statistics and mildly complex ML, R is really good. At least for data exploration. The REPL/emacs combo I use is much better than python/jupyter. By better I mean it's far more productive to

Maybe it just costs less to build LED screen cars than those with knobs ?

I concur. LyX makes things order of magnitude easier for a casual latex user like me.

I find it a bit disturbing that they talk about social impact of totally imaginary pictures of racoon. Of course, working in a golden lab at Google may twist your views on society.

HN is a very specific demographic... - people who think solutions imply most often technical ideas - people who are educated enough to understand HN - people who talk english So you don't see much of the rest of the world here... For e

The fourth picture (with the numbers is enlightening). So by that time, already, the top execs were looking the world through the lens of numbers. The operational costs dwarf all other, but they're represented as one line out of 4...

don't think so. - producing concrete, steel, (including mining) etc is no more polluting in other countries - producing vegetables, bananas and other stuff is interesting because you want to have them in countries that don't have

It's not completely symbolic either, little things can help too, and open source (and most importantly) open data, brings transparency which indeed allow for people to work together and build a counter power. But then again, if you rea

In these times of AGW, I just care about this: > The Jersey City facility consumes 60% less energy and 40% less water than the first-gen technology created and used at Oishii’s R&D facility in Kearny. So, how much more energy than gr

FTA : "This is the point at which Rust’s very strict typing and borrow checker converts from a productivity liability into a productivity asset." that's what rust is about in my own experience. Especially with threads.

Dunno... In my country, you put your garbage in special bags on your front door once a week. They get collected. We have to sort our garbages: plastics and metals (mostly use to wrap food) in one bag, paper in another one, biological stuff

Crackling ? IIRC one had to use DMA to make sure the buffer was properly filled... I don't remember having any "clicks" in the MODtracker file I was playing...
