Recently it's failed to find functions by verbatim search name within single project searches. I am pretty sure it used to function better than this.

The bank was nearly fully capitalized with low risk investments. Everyone would have gotten their money back anyways , it would have just taken 5-10 years. Imagine what would happe…

I didn't see catch this part, but having 10 notes over 4 octaves is not out of the question. If all of those notes are rhythmic, that could be a challenge. All of the fairly wide c…

Hey all! This is the first in a series of 'recipes' I am writing demonstrating how to use `systemd-nspawn`/`machinectl` to containerize services for either production or developmen…

Hopefully not too off topic. How do people monitor these BGP announcements? Is it possible for laymen to monitor such route rules?

Question. From my experience, GitHub uses the `github-amo` bot to fetch the data when the page is rendered. How did you prevent it from cacheing on GitHub's servers?

Today Zipcar sent me an e-mail stating: > Thank you for being a Zipcar member. We’re writing to let you know we’re moving your account to our $7 standard monthly plan and retiring …

Wake up with the sun or when I am rested. Eat eggs or whatever I have around with a lot of milk and a cup of coffee. Take a shower. Read until I don't want to anymore. Go to work u…

Doesn't this mean that a conditional branch is added to all existing code which performs casting?

Some societies believe it is acceptable to judge people based on their appearance. Arguably, most people do it instinctively. It is just that in America it was deemed illegal. I kn…

Why is showing your child a professional boundary? Different phases of life necessitate different accomodations. This person is advertising their priorities upfront. Startups might…

It probably helps that Julia and Fortran are both column major. When interfacing with C languages, that can be a big penalty (depending on the complexity of the algorithm). It will…

Somewhere there is a programmer that tried to fix a bug in 10+ year old legacy code (mso98win32client.dll) who has learned the bugs of legacy are features of today.

I really hope they do not do this. In and of itself it is not a problem, Ruby code is perfectly readable when the style is consistent. Software developers are often stubborn. The m…

This presumes that the truth is knowable and you could know it. Mathematics tells you what is not possible , but it tells you nothing about what exists. Every other discipline is s…

Ooh, I missed those. Support for C++17 is pretty major. Thanks. Perhaps my memory is fuzzy, I just remember the CUDA 9->10 switch having some significant (but not major) performanc…

It is possible to SIMD parallelize multiple linear problems when you can guarantee convergence of each subproblem and compute iterative bounds. But sure, SIMD is no panacea. Especi…

Does anyone understand why such minor upgrades resulted in a major version bump? Is this some sort of stability check point? Or some other versioning convention?

Teach them about cyclomatic complexity and then review their work in these terms. It gives them something concrete to target rather than trying to accomplish some ethereal notion o…

Julia, R, and MATLAB. But yeah, it's not common. I end up reinventing this wheel about once a year.

What a beautiful conclusion for him on such a beautiful project. This man clearly loves the art of programming... so much, that he would give up power, just to pursue it again. Tha…

Yeah, I think you got lucky. He sounds like a great boss. And, he was probably right.

I suppose from the perspective of someone implementing these models, yeah - it is linear, but it is not bijective. In a system with only one layer, that manifests as an alias (assu…

If you have ever opened up Excel or a similar program. One of the more useful options is to generate a regression line-fit on your data points. One option is to specify a polynomia…
