It's also about performance. The snippet assumes the byte order of the buffer or byte stream is little endian so only covers two of four cases. If you want to read a little-endian …

Wasn't the mostly unanimous agreement in this thread that this paper was of low quality and its conclusions are questionable at best?

Also, it's "deus absconditus" not "abscondidus" in 1.

The k'th largest element in an array can also be found by the nth_element() algorithm already included in the STL. It has linear complexity as opposed to the O(n log k) and O(k log…

How good does it work with non-natural images where rows/columns are not similar to each other? White noise for example should prove rather difficult.

No it doesn't, unfortunately. I misunderstood OP's questions at first. You can connect owncloud to a mail server (a la Roundcube) but nothing more.

Self-hosted owncloud works for me except for the gruesome woes every single time I try to update it.

You would solve e.g. min_x* ( ||A x* - b|| (+\lamba regularization(x*) )

In general there are no shortcuts, and when the matrix A is not small (e.g. m x n with m,n << 100), you don't want to invert A, especially if you are only interested in x (from A x…

I find the wording somewhat peculiar: 'the resulting address will change dramatically, by (4 - 2^(32+2)). In 32-bit mode (all addresses modulo 2^32), this is just an increase by 4 …

Rasterization also is of highly-parallelizable nature and this parallelism has been exploited to great effect in the last decade(s). Given that Ray Tracing's only advantage over Ra…

GCC already has something alike, the parallel mode [1]. It is based on the Multi-Core STL (MCSTL) developed at Karlsruhe University. In [2] you can also find some publications. As …

> The important upside is that SV is the center of the universe for interesting computer science work. This is so true! (Even by my limited experience) Comparing job offerings in m…

I'm currently on the lookout for a new job after finishing my PhD in CS, but my last question didn't receive much love. Therefore now, all-new, condensed and brief: How is working …

Dear HN, I'm currently on the lookout for a new job. I studied CS and finished my PhD a year roughly a year ago. Since then I have been working in the same institute and things are…
