It should be possible to do that using one Ethernet port using VLANs. You could buy a cheap L2 managed switch and use it to trunk two different Ethernet networks on the same port. Then you would configure the Linux networking stack to split

SIGBOVIK is a parody of computer science conferences. It's a running joke hosted on April Fools Day every year at CMU - and apparently a quite convincing one. ;-) Source: I attended SIGBOVIK a few times in grad school.

As someone who lives in Pittsburgh - and likes the city quite a bit - I can attest to the fact that: (1) the weather is rarely perfect, (2) the entire city is under perpetual construction, and (3) the lines have not been painted in years. I

Concepts, modules, a file system library, and an asynchronous I/O library have all been discussed as additions for C++17 and beyond. Most of these features are standard in modern languages. I would not consider any of these to be &quot

I had this issue fixed on my mid-2012 15" rMBP. It's known issue with some of the early LG panels on that model. The technician at the Apple store ran some standard image persistence diagnostic script to replicate the issue. They

C++ is not technically a superset of C. Here are a few examples that are valid in C, but not C++: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1201840/111426 However, it's close enough that I generally agree with your point.

The bitfield example is misleading. Section 6.7.2.1/10 of the C99 standard says: "The order of allocation of bit-fields within a unit (high-order to low-order or low-order to high-order) is implementation-defined" There is no

Why would you not use A* from the beginning? It's a trivial extension to Dijkstras and is often orders of magnitude faster when an informative heuristic is available. Also, both algorithms require identical data structures. After all,

Unfortunately not. Matrix inversion (or any type of linear algebra, really) deals with real numbers. This problem is nearly a linear program, which can be solved very efficiently, except that some variables are constrained to { 0, 1 }. As a

Nope. Maybe it used to be true, but not as of 2007. "…prohibits you…from disclosing this letter, other than to…an attorney to obtain legal advice or legal assistance with respect to this letter."" Source: http://up

Nit: You can't, by definition, prove an axiom. Memorizing axioms is quite necessary because they are the building blocks for all other theorems. In any case, I don't disagree with your high-level point.

Matlab is much faster. For a sense of scale, a relatively simple image processing script ran 125 times faster in Matlab than Octave. This is, most likely, because Matlab has a better code optimizer. I don't see a compelling reason to u

Like antics said, this isn't true for graph planning. Here are three concrete examples that I know of: 1. Anytime D* was used by the winner of the DARPA Urban Challenge 2. Field D* was used by Spirit and Opportunity on Mars 3. ARA* (and oth

It's not that uncommon in CS. I just started a Ph.D. program (Robotics at CMU) straight out of undergrad and a decent number of the other incoming students are in the same boat. It varies depending upon the field and the university. For exa

I doubt it. The article makes this sound pretty specific to producing the magnetic disks used in hard drives. I don't see any reason why this would also work for silicon processes.

Just a guess: The weaker gravity (around 1/3 of Earth's gravity) makes it much easier for wind to pick dust off the ground. Once a dust storm starts, it would also take a lot longer for the cloud of dust to dissipate. Look at the videos of

That description states a resolution of 1920x1200 instead of the 2560x1440 on these panels. I think 1920x1200 looks pretty awful on a 24" monitor, so I'm sure it will look even worse on one that is 3" larger. It's a shame these monitors don

Depending upon how this evolves, it could cause legal issues for employers who make postings. It's illegal to discriminate by a lot of personal information such as nationality, age, race, whether they have children. All of this information

I personally don't see the point in iGoogle, but it was perfect for a certain demographic. Anecdotally, I know of quite a few middle-aged people who learned to use the internet when portals were king. After Google surpassed Yahoo, they simp

On OS X, you get clang and llvm-gcc in XCode 4.1, which is a solid 1.4 GB download. You're absolutely right about clang being pretty lightweight, so it's getting a bad wrap by association. I'm honestly not sure why XCode is so large: perhap

I hate requirements like that. My hunch is that they the SE team hasn't put a ton of thought into the account creation process because they also support OpenID. I didn't even realize that you could login to StackOverflow without using OpenI

I never thought about SimCity (or any city planning game, really) on the iPad. In hindsight, it seems like a great idea. Most of the game is placing long strips of transportation and utilities, like power lines and roads, or zoning large ar

Nothing is cheap about autonomy, especially when there is limited computing power on-board the robot and power consumption is a major constraint. Using a hybrid remote operated/autonomous approach is reasonable, though: only send high level

None of the projects are forked (at least as of now), but thee are quite a few people watching them. That's not really surprising, though, because it seems perfectly valid to watch a project while waiting for the first commit.

Same problem here. It showed up again after Command + Tabbing out of Chrome and switching back in. It's humorous that the custom cursor fails in the one case where it's identical to my default cursor.

Can you suggest a good Illustrator alternative for Linux? I've tried a few and was never satisfied largely because the GUIs were very difficult to use. Perhaps I tried the wrong ones!
