    For 200k I'd consider working even on JS and front-end xD

    If someone likes more lecture style explanation I can recommend 3blue1brown's material on YouTube. He explained in a pretty good an accessible way imho. I didn't learn artificial n…

    No. It can check whether the operands will cause overflow and issue an error instead of silently giving a bogus result. It's a performance hit though. I don't think you'd want a ba…

    The problem is that UB is invoked on runtime for particular inputs... And it silently makes program unreasonable after this point. That is not good. It's hard to reason about such …

    Ummm one nitpick. This is not abuse, it's the intended use of the phrase. Its application is to achieve your goal or enforcing your decision regardless of superior's stance. Other …

    The article is tautological. It basically says that only some people get blackouts because they tolerate alcohol differently. It's like saying only some people blackout because onl…

    We got good models for pretty good chunk of phenomena of scales from subatomic to galaxy wide and beyond. Astonishing is the fact that same laws give good predictions on both ends …

    That was my 1st thought... Yeah ok, so the random function is not statistically good... How exploitable it is? What is the easiest vector of attack against the lottery? If the poor…

    Well you buy the effect of discouraging the potential enemy. It's like the nukes. You rarely buy power to really exert it, more often it's just for the possibility.

    To simplify it a bit more (but not to lose correctness) it seems like this molecule is a maintenance signal, meaning the path is in use. If it's not present the channel gets closed…

    Err at least some Battlefield games, fifa 17 and 18 use frostbite engine. I don't think one can call it custom.

    Why the distaste? I treat it as a study of phenomena. It's like a social study on rather grand scale. It doesn't different species much from the crowd dynamics, useful in better de…

    To my knowledge they explore solution space but not through a gradient descent but by probing. How can you perform a GD on non continuous function? Genetic algorithms and evolution…

    I don't think so. I think currently dark matter is considered rather low mass density i.e. doesn't bend light too much. Black holes would. Think that you have the mass spread out o…

    I am also against any form of racial/gender etc. preferences positive or negative because it's inherently discriminatory. But I also think it's a fallacy that one's professional pe…

    If they harassed them in toilet would you install cameras there? =P Sorry, but that's the same kind of argument for invading someone's privacy and justifying surveillance. I doubt …

    Haha. I have it opened in my browser waiting for some prolonged work interruption. I guess I have to dedicate and report 1h for learning and self-improvment during next week.

    Ok imagine you are seeing a screen and from behind you is coming a photon. How do you know whether there was a double slit behind you or not for a single photon? Those are two situ…

    How does granular analysis differ from pcm representation, Fournier transformation and sampling? Or is it a different name for the same thing. I think it's natural to whoever worke…

    Being fired at will is still better than being fired for a documented reason. It boils down to risk management =P

    That's what you call cultural differences. It's impercievable that another human being can think in some ways. Though, it's a matter of upbringing, if anything it's a Muslim mind, …

    This is trivial. From one's frames of reference this very one is always stationary =]. What is interesting from photon's frame of reference is the image of the rest of the world.

    The speed of light is, but it does not have anything to do with relativity. Those concepts are connected by the speed of light in vacuum, yes, but there is no logical reason for th…

    So are trichromatic people colorblind to tetrachromats? BTW. Wikipedia says that trichromatism was normal for mammals in the past, and then they lost one or two cones, which would …
