Perhaps he just meant IR sensors? Also, I wonder whether UV sensors would be helpful.

Do you even know what “free speech” means?

Language implementation-wise, can anyone explain why/how Julia is able to get close to C-level performance? Is it doing some extra steps under the hood (JIT compilation?) that Python and R aren't doing?

Sometimes I lay in bed at night thinking about the deficiency I haven't had time to address or that isn't a current priority, or the obscure bug I found a while ago that is laying in wait ... then I end up taking a melatonin capsu

I'm going to guess and say he was just borrowing a current, in-the-news hashtag and applying it to this situation. In other words, he was just joking around.

For me, it's when I open my .emacs file and start working on my personal TODO items. The last time I ended up writing some elisp functions to make adding code comments/documentation easier and to auto-generate project layouts and

Regarding the "smearing" concept, how does that square with the formation of neutron stars and white dwarfs? Those objects are incredibly dense because they're composed mostly (?) of nuceei or neutrons, respectively.

I guess I'm just shocked that the surgeon could offer that level of assurance about something like that.

Why would previous versions of Python3 (e.g., 3.5, 3.6) not perform as well as 2.7? What about Python3 makes it slower? Is it a language design issue? We’re in the process of migrating several keras/TensorFlow-based projects to 3.6,

Using a web app requires one to upload their file 100% of the time. Using a local app requires one, I'd expect, to upload their file 0% of the time.

I really don't understand the hate for Musk. Shit, a lot of these projects are really experiments that he's funding. They're really cool experiments, at that, and experiments aren't supposed to be successful all the t

Also, you need to have a cloud-free line-of-sight to the satellite.

Besides being much newer (and lighter components are now available), the electronics for a Free Space Optical system are much lighter than the electronics for an RF system. The concept 'Size, Weight, and Power' (SWaP) is commonly

I wouldn't call myself proficient in Java, but I understand the basics. I'm a C and C++ programmer at heart, so the few times that I had to write new Java code back in the day I always would prefer snake_case class names and snak

Very clear presentation. Helpful diagrams. Clean code. This has a very “Linkers and Loaders” (John Levine) feel to it. Very well done.

Dark matter is also believed to be what holds galaxies (and galactic clusters) together by enveloping them in what are called dark matter halos. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter_halo

AFAIK, we are unable to see the center of the galaxy with visible-spectrum sensors due to the immense amount of dust and gas. We can see the center with IR sensors, however.

Similarly, a few years ago I swas developing a path-finding algorithm for time-varying 3D vector fields and I found myself knee-deep in various research papers. Some were better than others, and I did find a few web/blog resources hel

Although modern usage of the word “hacker” has been applied to non-software contexts, I’ve also seen the term “maker” used here as well.

I'm not a big gamer, but i recall in the late 90s - early 2000s timeframe there were several big-title FPS games available on Linux (Quake series, Unreal, Half Life). Whatever happened to that momentum? Not enough demand, I guess?

I've had ocular migraines for many years as well, maybe 10-15 per year. No pain either, but I've been unable to correlate their occurrence with any specific activity. They just (seemingly) pop up out of nowhere.
