Don't forget the part where those graduate students do some 80% of the work and make <20% of the income of their their supervisor (and, in many cases, <10% or none at all in several), and the university hosting the lab absorbs so

> 1. The persistent approach is not right for global variables, which are dynamically bound. So I ended up needing two Environment classes, a Map-based one for the global scope, and then a persistent one for locals. That, of course, also

As someone with years of experience writing interpreters, this seems a rather sloppy solution to a straightforward problem. There are two canonical solutions, and he uses neither: 1. The first canonical solution, which the author even descr

You should re-record the entire intro video and leave out all the 'um' and 'uh's. It makes the product seem far less professional.

My wife got angry quite a few times in graduate school because the university's Women in Computing group forcibly signed her up to their mailing list at the start of every academic year. She unsubscribed every year and, without fail, t

I'm moving out of a house right now in the midwest that bumped my rent by $100/mo each year, but they listed it back at my original rate this year. For some reason, being a multi-year tenant cost me an extra ~$3000.

I'm not saying it isn't faster, I'm merely pointing out that it was a pretty serious investment in comparison to the other points of the build, and attempting to defend the idea that liquid cooling isn't insane if you&#x

I agree that Ryzen is a great chip! I am looking forward to getting one because, yeah, it makes for a great developer platform: it's got a bunch of cores, it's got a fantastic virtualization model that isn't randomly crippled

This article reads like a rewrite of the wiki over at /r/buildapc, and I'm not sure I see how much of it leads to his conclusion---any modern, $1500 desktop is going to outperform a two-generation-old laptop with a quarter as

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Oleg rebuilt the linked implementation in Haskell [0]. It works exactly as you'd expect, right out of the box. 0. https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0509027

I'll admit that I have had Netflix recommend to me movies that it thought I would rate at one star, and I have watched that movie and then rated it one star. Not only did their current system predict that I would watch that movie, they

This seems like a great system to enable fine-grained micromanagement at a glance. It's got a weird mix of 'overbearing manager' and 'Orwellian employment coverage' that seems to primarily support over-involvement i
