The ability just to swap in the cuFFTW header for FFTW3's making calls execute on GPU (even though it doesn't give the best performance) is also nice for beginners.

Pretty similar to what happened with the Jupyter Notebook last year. https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/2254

> The last point is especially important if your host operating system is macOS, on which it is a really bad idea to directly install a binary Clang other than the one that comes w…

I think it's really sad that I often see people on public transport in the UK just offload a device onto their children to placate them when they're bored.

When I was taught C++ at University, we were just told to download Quincy which bundles a (pretty old) version of GCC with a text editor on Windows. Once we had the basics down the…

I've found generally it's fine for most things but issues come from when the scientific libraries are built with/without certain options. The lack of OpenMP for FFTW is annoying, f…

It takes about 2 years to do the training to be a Black Cab driver in London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7gp8KBP7ak

Unity is getting ditched in favour of GNOME3 as of 18.04, which probably means it's going to die...

Boost Python looks somewhat similar to that type of interface too. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_62_0/libs/python/doc/html/tu...

Does Go have templating?

I was taught to do it like this in C: double *a = malloc(sizeof(double)*nx*ny*nz); int id; for(int k = 0; k You can do it in other ways (arrays of pointes, etc), but I think this i…

I use Python for most things and write C extensions which can use OpenMP or CUDA and which are hooked in via Cython for the slow parts. Find this works well, although it can lead t…

In academia it's also because NVidia does a lot of stuff to make your life easy. For example, NVidia came to our University in the UK and provided training for £20 an academic/PhD …

I think it's likely that it's because organisations can manage users by their domain name - it's possible to have a blanket rule that allows users to create an account for a team i…

Ah right, I wasn't aware of that.

Sure. How much are employer health plans in the US? Employer NI is 13% of the salary over £152 per week, so for an employee on £25000 per year, the employer has to fork out about a…

I don't mind Make for small projects, but it can be a bit of a nightmare for large ones - there are some very unwieldy Makefiles out there. It gets more complicated when you want t…

The starting salary for a new graduate in the UK is probably in the range of £25-£33k, unless you're really lucky and do something like investment banking which is about half of wh…

Yeah, but Qt has licensing costs for commercial use...
