There's also Snakemake, which is mostly used in bioinformatics pipelines, but it's sort of like a Makefile program with inline python enabled. It's nice and I could imagine it gett…

It's a reasonably valid point. During his administration, right-wing autocrats the world over have been emboldened, and he hasn't spoken against them. See, for instance, Khashoggi,…

Thanks! I've written code for discrete GPUs but not integrated, and so I'm unsure what the advantages would be. Would there be lower latency for transfers, then, if not higher thro…

Would the GPU have its own RAM or simply share address space with a CPU?

That sounds much less onerous than paying for your employees' healthcare in the United States.

Correct. It's the corruption that has his critics seeing blood in the water. Visiting your affair's home during work hours while funneling money into her business and taking her on…

Please don't use code blocks for quotations. It ruins display/readability on mobile.

His creepy, shirtless "get on my mattress" calls to female undergrads at MIT register as more than being awkward or autistic. That alone should be unacceptable behavior for faculty…

Jury of peers is for criminal prosecution, not job performance assessment, which is closer to civil cases, in which preponderance of the evidence is the standard.

Off-topic: Reminds me of "Half a mil in twenties like a billion where I'm from." On-topic: that's misleading; once you pay fixed costs, you have a lot more latitude for discretiona…

Because I'm not a dictator. I can only make changes by being politically active and making environmentally sound decisions myself/encouraging others. I do these things, but don't h…

I know plenty of straight couples who are married or in committed long term relationships and met on tinder.

NVIDIA's emphasis on modern C++ was very smart as well. Compare writing CUDA to OpenCL. I have hopes for ROC.

I'm not familiar with this method, but NAMD and CHARM are a great way to inspect biological systems at greater resolution than experimental methods can measure. There was really co…

Meaning that the underscore allows them to be used as positional arguments instead of being only accessed by "keywords", to use a python analogy?

Otherwise, I’m inclined to believe that this is new because this is “Hacker News”.

That was a typo, thanks for the catch! That’s exactly the point I was trying to make.

Interestingly, in the US, legal cannabis prices are usually more than double those on the black market because they’re taxed extremely heavily. Granted, users of cannabis aren’t* u…

No, that’s just the lie they sell it with.
