    What is the likelihood of this study being true? Will it be cited a lot now?

    Your face is not really a secret, hardly very secure, I'd say.

    I think as computers fail to get faster, we won't be able to improve performance without making application specific logical units, however, we may still be able to make it general…

    Isolation by itself can come in many different forms, I'd say. I don't think that all of these metal diagnoses due to isolation really apply to everyone or every situation very wel…

    Diversify your speculation, I think that's the best advice, and make sure you stay grounded, ie. have a base which won't really move much relative to potential hyper-inflation.

    I think that's an absolutely terrible idea.

    It's really more about signal-to-noise ratio I'd say, if there are often loud noises then your brain will have to attend to them, if there is constantly a fan noise, for example, t…

    If you have to study for the interview, they're not selecting their candidates for intelligence, really, but either intelligence or studiousness.

    Maybe I'll take a shot at a very simple backend, I've not been able to find a kanban which is simple enough for me.

    > 1B Lines of C++ Seems like our code is inflating quite rapidly. I remember when 1M was the biggest project. /snark

    Another in addition to these excellent suggestions would be scapular pullups and scapular pushups.

    It seems to me the investment community has accepted bitcoin at this point, with major institutional investors finally buying in now--1 billion from microstrategy, for example--so …

    Definitely--lots of old assets are used for testing, I've seen them personally. It's standard practice to keep around old models, scenes, textures, etc.

    They render them at a very high resolution, so perhaps the person I heard the rumors from was talking about reducing the resolution to something less than 10k by 10k (or more somet…

    I've heard rumors that Pixar used to be able to render their movies in real-time :)

    I should have said gut--I've been calling my gut my stomach for too long and have had difficulty stopping that habit. However, I don't think we really know where satiety comes from…

    I think it's related to the fermentation going on in your stomach. I'm not sure if it's the best way to become satiated. I personally find saturated fats to be much more satiating,…

    We need to allow multiple app stores with DRM per store, it's the only solution to avoid a monopolistic store that I see. It won't happen except through the legal system, I think.

    I have no clue, I'm not an expert. I just don't see any discussion on this topic and it concerns me. Historically, I don't see any vaccine which was effective against such a virule…

    I hate to be that person, but I'm personally more worried about the virus mutating under the increased selection pressure. We only defeated polio with a >99% effective vaccine, and…

    I'm a bit of both, so I guess I take the radical approach--straight from mathematics to C++/ASM/FPGA/ASIC. Ultimately programming languages are just an alternate notative system fo…
