> Yep. I bet this changes relatively soon, since you can sometimes use recursion in OpenCL & CUDA. Am I correct in assuming you can only recurse when the recursion can be "unrolled" into a simple loop? In other words, no pr

High CPU overhead seems reasonable for HTML5-based games. Introducing a DOM can only make things slower relative to a leaner (native) engine. For reference, I'm on a late-2015 laptop (XPS 13 9350) with integrated graphics, but the newe

> Java calls references, works more like C/C++ pointer, rather than C++ reference What makes you say this? You can't do pointer arithmetic on Java references, and the internal memory model is completely obscured. C++ and Java r

Java references are closer to C++ references than anything else. They're like pointers until you access/call them, at which point they're just objects. C++ references are identical, but the syntax is a bit more explicit. It

I would actively avoid that, but only because it confuses me. That syntax loosely implies that removing the second d assignment would allow me to create new-but-altered dogs with alterDog(Dog), which isn't the case. If I wanted to use

I'd wager that Spotify is nearing the point at which - if not already there - record labels cannot afford to revoke their license. If they can get away with it, they'll try to push some buttons, but I doubt a full confrontation. I

Why, no government-funded institutions have ever violated our privacy. What a wonderful idea. Propaganda, trite.

Clearly, SAM is a shitty robot. It looks as if it were designed by someone who had no intention of using it to lay bricks.

Why should I trust a corporation (e.g. Valve) with 2-factor authentication?

Why serious breaches of trust such as this don't immediately receive outside, completely foreign, third party (all of it!) investigation is beyond me. None of this should be news - it should be implied. For the same reasons PDs shouldn

Considering most search queries are simple and apolitical, I feel the argument "tailoring search results is less dangerous than curating a news feed" has some merit. That aside, if you use Google as your main news outlet, all th

Probably because it isn't the core conversation. What matters is that Microsoft is pushing bug bounties, not how big they are. But it's really splitting hairs. I don't really get it either - just a guess.

Almost all "ex-gifted" students will tell you this. People who accomplish a lot while trying very little are an anomaly.

Does anyone else get a fancy pants adventure vibe from this? There's a critique about digital art in general here: over-perfection is dull. I'm all about that wabi-sabi.

Yet, "looking for qualified female developers" sounds patronizing at best, and brusque at worst. We need more girls in the field by cultivating different career ambitions.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the market segment of tunnelbear users were people dodging network restrictions, not people who valued privacy much. That aside, there are exceptions and someone is getting fucked over.

Viruses are more like robots. They don't respond to stimuli. They just, do. The definition of "life" comes down to splitting hairs. We don't consider something "alive" if its behavior doesn't change when i

Digital watches were pretty cool when they were new, too. In 10 years, smart watches will be bougie. Something about analog-everything has more staying power.
