> [...] but the real reason is their uni can't afford a PET scanner for them to use. This is incorrect, TUM has a PET scanner (site in German): https://nuklearmedizin.mri.tum.de/de…

There's both: GTFS is a standard for the regular schedule, and GTFS-RT is a standard for realtime information. Link: https://gtfs.org/documentation/realtime/reference/

no-panic uses link-time shenanigans to prevent panics in the compiled binary, but this isn't 100% reliable (as explained in the README, just pointing this out)

The user you replied to likely means something different: The priority of the event often depends on the exact contents on the event and not the hardware event source. For example,…

When it comes to exchangeable lens cameras (DSLRs/DSLMs), as you increase the number of pixels you very quickly reach a point where you're limited by the optical performance of the…

Isabelle/HOL has Quickcheck, which is precisely what you think it is. Although it only works if the free variables in the thesis you'd like to prove are sufficiently simple AFAIK (…

Of all the BSDs, I'm only a little familiar with OpenBSD through its OpenSSH fame, so I'm a little surprised to hear that a (probably) somewhat related project would use XML in a s…

When choosing a bowl for your potato salad, you need to keep some important properties of potato salad bowls in mind. Different bowls have different designs that make some better s…

Based on its name I think it's used in Arch Linux packages (at least makepkg says it is generating an mtree file at some point during the build process IIRC). However it appears mt…

Yeah, I think coming up with definitions of "understanding" or "reasoning" that GPT-4 and friends supposedly don't fulfill is moving goalposts. To continue your line of thinking, w…

The anti-pattern described as Deref Polymorphism is not the same as using Deref with the newtype pattern, in order to allow using the wrapped type transparently. In the latter case…

Yes, it should just work for all projects if you put in in ~/.cargo/config.toml, or as a per-project setting. Git life pro tip (that you didn't know you needed until now): You can …

As far as I know, non stick surfaces are mostly (always?) made out of PTFE (brand name Teflon), which is a little unusual in that it starts releasing toxic gases when it's heated w…

Is the Neural Engine/CoreML used in "normal" desktop apps on macOS, or is it limited to specialized ML centered apps? In other words, where should I expect performance improvements…

I'd see that as a benefit of llama.cpp - it's specifically designed to be usable on consumer hardware such as laptops, without professional GPUs.

I'd like to add some context as to why lockless algorithms are popular in the Linux kernel. Roughly speaking, there are two possible scenarios in which kernel code is executed: Eit…

This is the way. In theory, you're only supposed to downvote comments that don't contribute to the discussion. For me, that mostly amounts to very rude/unhelpful comments or extrem…

Well, using the identity function as a hash does not provide any avalanche effect at all. And as parent comments point out, certain hash map implementations require a strong hash f…

I was genuinely surprised when I stumbled upon this Stack Overflow question [1] where someone asked why std::hash is the identity function for int, and some commenters argue that i…

I'm not familiar with how it compares to ARM/Intel's profiling tools, but I found the Linux perf suite to be very capable (though limited to Linux obviously). And Hotspot [1] allow…

Indeed. I'm currently stuck with 8GB RAM on my laptop and it feels like the OOM killer [1] is playing whack-a-mole with Firefox and any Electron apps. Start Firefox, then VS Code g…

Mesa (the Linux OpenGL driver) supports caching shaders on any GPU. And Vulkan essentially has shader caching built in at the specification level. I know that Steam ships precompil…

That looks like an nice idea in principle, however (I hope this doesn't come across too negative) I don't think using similar colors for lines if they're going to similar destinati…

Interestingly, your example renders incorrectly for me (Firefox/W10). The overline is placed between 1 and ).
