> Yep. I bet this changes relatively soon, since you can sometimes use recursion in OpenCL & CUDA. Am I correct in assuming you can only recurse when the recursion can be "unrolled…

Neanderthal isn't a synonym for stone-age.

Oh, duh. Still, javascript.

High CPU overhead seems reasonable for HTML5-based games. Introducing a DOM can only make things slower relative to a leaner (native) engine. For reference, I'm on a late-2015 lapt…

Wow, that webpage sucks. What are the specs?

Touche.

> Java calls references, works more like C/C++ pointer, rather than C++ reference What makes you say this? You can't do pointer arithmetic on Java references, and the internal memo…

Java references are closer to C++ references than anything else. They're like pointers until you access/call them, at which point they're just objects. C++ references are identical…

I would actively avoid that, but only because it confuses me. That syntax loosely implies that removing the second d assignment would allow me to create new-but-altered dogs with a…

Here lies the tale of Marissa Mayer.

That article sure manages to say a lot without saying anything at all.

It's whoever 4chan is.

Ah, shit.

I'd wager that Spotify is nearing the point at which - if not already there - record labels cannot afford to revoke their license. If they can get away with it, they'll try to push…

Why, no government-funded institutions have ever violated our privacy. What a wonderful idea. Propaganda, trite.

Clearly, SAM is a shitty robot. It looks as if it were designed by someone who had no intention of using it to lay bricks.

Formerly, posting your real name online was a cardinal sin, and providing a service with a phone number wasn't much better. If the odds of my account being compromised without 2-fa…

Why serious breaches of trust such as this don't immediately receive outside, completely foreign, third party (all of it!) investigation is beyond me. None of this should be news -…

Considering most search queries are simple and apolitical, I feel the argument "tailoring search results is less dangerous than curating a news feed" has some merit. That aside, if…

5-6 years of living expenses.

Probably because it isn't the core conversation. What matters is that Microsoft is pushing bug bounties, not how big they are. But it's really splitting hairs. I don't really get i…

Almost all "ex-gifted" students will tell you this. People who accomplish a lot while trying very little are an anomaly.

> It would really help a lot of people if we could segregate children as they enter the school system into more refined groups based on their needs rather than waiting for someone …

> Could one run a VPN through a blockchain? You can encode any information you want on a blockchain, and it can be anonymous and specific to the user. But it would be ///painfully/…

Does anyone else get a fancy pants adventure vibe from this? There's a critique about digital art in general here: over-perfection is dull. I'm all about that wabi-sabi.
