You can measure the amount of ability to choose and answer your own questions though. Also, this all very idealistic nonsense- until 300 years ago, we lived basically in tribal com…

Coding for a GPU is basically embedded programming - and the jit step is needed to avoid platform adaption costs.

Alot also loose the land they had, to the banks over time and become glorified landscape facility managers for the bank or for example a energy company. The guy in that "My-little-…

Assuming TTIP fails, how will the next contract to attack democracy be called? QTIP? UTIP? COUP? GRACE? At least put some effort into naming. To have your rights grind away so slow…

the biggest virtue of a c-programmer is temporary forgetfulness. forget for the moment, that all of the old-guard-tech foundations is basically a castle made of glued together jell…

I am a citizen, i voted for those regulations, these are the laws i wanted, you try to step upon.

So you suggest cache misses corrected by a instruction-workload bias (which should be again biased by how "hot" the instructions remain)? EvilOfCacheMiss = TimeOfMemoryFetchCycles …

The real trouble is the inability of chips to identify what haskell could completely avoid, doing the same algorithm for the same input repeatedly. Hashing over input skip and save…

There is only so much work to go around, before cache misses turn into waiting games, even with branch prediction and micro-code piping. What is your suggested alternative metric?

Why not scrap the USAF instead? It all breaks down into mission support and drones in the long run? So why not scrap the organization that warps the strategic decisions ? Give ever…

What if the mass is water and you transport it back up with the capillary effect? Over a stairway?

Nobody? Could you train a neural network to do that? Or should i try classic text parsing, looking for question answer queues? I'm quite willing to put in some work, if its a one t…

Nope, and reinstalling it wont help it..

I'm in a very small software community- we have a wiki, which is eternally outdated, because we are understaffed. We tryied to run a Answers page, and it failed due to maintenance-…

The problem is that fields don't advance in a continuous process, but its in bursts of stop and go. This state with a lack of progress and entrenched thought schools is prelude to …

to stay in the analogy - and some are gazelles and some are cheetahs?

Realpolitik is gone, when everyone got a nuke. Even sociopaths have survival instincts - that's why no world war III so far. Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and there democratic domesticated …
