I’ve totally fallen for Directory Opus. Most powerful file manager I’ve ever used, and I’ve only used a fraction of its features.

Russia uses a similar system, the Kashtan CIWS. This article ( https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61103927 ) indicates that the Moskva did have one installed, though I don’t know why it didn’t help in this case.

Interesting. I, for some reason, was unaware that the benchmarks were user sourced. It appears to mainly be a system for bash scripts to run the program and then automatically format the results, is that correct? There's a benchmark fo

It’s much the same reason why you wouldn’t go to work wearing a days old, stained shirt and ripped pants — yeah, you’re more than likely going to work just as hard and as well than if you were wearing clean clothes, but that’s not going to

Embarrassed by its cobbled-togetherness. Not in whether or not it works.

Oh, I meant making the error in the code fell under the we all make mistakes. Not the refusing to share it.

I wish tech review sites would do a molecular dynamics benchmark for processors like these. It's pretty easy to set up just a simple MD simulation, and there'd be tens of us interested in seeing the results.

I think your first paragraph is a result of you viewing this from the perspective of someone knowledgeable about technology. The vast majority of people using Android phones get their apps exclusively from the Play Store and assume Android

In my case, it is very much column A.

My PhD adviser was a good friend of Chandler's, and a lot of my doctoral work was based on previous work done in his lab. I'm honestly really surprised one of his students/post-docs made a mistake of this magnitude -- generat

Wow. I haven't seen the sequel yet (unfortunately), but the differences is incredibly striking.

I agree with your latter two points, but I must take issue with your first point about mental health. I've posted some links below for your further reading which can explain the stressors better than I can, but graduate school is a bre

In my field (computational biophysics), it's pretty common practice to post published code on a git repository. Code used to produce published results absolutely should be accessible.

It's a (fairly) standardized, robust, and trusted way of peer-reviewing data and results. Without some mechanism like that, there's no easy way to tell if Dr. X's results are as well peer-reviewed as Dr. Y's, at least as

I'm relatively new to C++, is this style common? I refer to, for example, putting the return of function on a separate line from the name and each of the passed parameters on a separate line as well.

My former adviser told me that out of the 150+ committees he's been on, only one failed, and that the person who failed known for stealing research from his labmates and demonstrated in the defense itself that he didn't know what

And even beyond that, comments that bring up endowments usually come from a misunderstanding of what an endowment is. Its not like Brown has a bank account with $3B in it which they can access whenever and however they'd like. Endowmen

I think the evolution of how the media operates over the next 4ish years will be very interesting to watch.
