With a Serbian passport you can travel visa-free for instance to Russia, Cuba, China. That’s due to agreements between non-aligned counties signed by Jugoslavia that Serbia inherited. You cannot still enter those countries without a visa wi

I also prefer Apple Maps over Google Maps. Google Maps are slightly more detailed, probably since Google is generating the maps automatically from satellite imagery, but for going to one point of the city to another I feel that the two apps

Regarding (a), the approximation can be made as good as you want. However you are right on (b) it gets exponentially slow.

Do you mean a new generation of matter, with two new leptons and two new quarks? Cosmological data show that there should be only three generations of matter.

The financial crisis didn’t start in the banking sector, it started in the finance sector. And I cannot really see how a blockchain could have prevented it... I would be interested in hearing ideas about this!

In most situations trust between two parties can be obtained by means of a third party they both trust. That’s how the banking system has worked for centuries. The use case for a blockchain is narrower: it can be used to establish trust bet

It would be interesting to see how the SIMD versions work for small arrays. I suspect in this case the naive version better, and this could be the reading why compilers do not convert the code to SIMD instructions...

It’s not perfect, but it’s much more meaningful than GPA.

The solution is simple: ratings are inflated since they are an endless resource. Let’s make them a scarse resource. It’s what works in the academia, where anyone can get aribitrarily close to a 4.0/4.0 GPA, if the grades are inflated e

How many security-critical bugs have been found in libc in the last ten years? I know that in principle Rust is safer, but I am wondering it makes sense to re-implement code so heavily audited as libc. Wouldn’t it be better to redirect the
