There's also Snakemake, which is mostly used in bioinformatics pipelines, but it's sort of like a Makefile program with inline python enabled. It's nice and I could imagine it getting some adoption because of its flexibility,

It's a reasonably valid point. During his administration, right-wing autocrats the world over have been emboldened, and he hasn't spoken against them. See, for instance, Khashoggi, the Kurds, or the Skripal poisoning incidents in

Thanks! I've written code for discrete GPUs but not integrated, and so I'm unsure what the advantages would be. Would there be lower latency for transfers, then, if not higher throughput?

Would the GPU have its own RAM or simply share address space with a CPU?

That sounds much less onerous than paying for your employees' healthcare in the United States.

Correct. It's the corruption that has his critics seeing blood in the water. Visiting your affair's home during work hours while funneling money into her business and taking her on trips she has no reason to be on to boost her car

Please don't use code blocks for quotations. It ruins display/readability on mobile.

His creepy, shirtless "get on my mattress" calls to female undergrads at MIT register as more than being awkward or autistic. That alone should be unacceptable behavior for faculty.

Jury of peers is for criminal prosecution, not job performance assessment, which is closer to civil cases, in which preponderance of the evidence is the standard.

Off-topic: Reminds me of "Half a mil in twenties like a billion where I'm from." On-topic: that's misleading; once you pay fixed costs, you have a lot more latitude for discretionary income. Not everything is the same ra

Because I'm not a dictator. I can only make changes by being politically active and making environmentally sound decisions myself/encouraging others. I do these things, but don't have the power to force systemic change.

NVIDIA's emphasis on modern C++ was very smart as well. Compare writing CUDA to OpenCL. I have hopes for ROC.

I'm not familiar with this method, but NAMD and CHARM are a great way to inspect biological systems at greater resolution than experimental methods can measure. There was really cool work on fibrinogen about a decade ago showing how it

Meaning that the underscore allows them to be used as positional arguments instead of being only accessed by "keywords", to use a python analogy?

Otherwise, I’m inclined to believe that this is new because this is “Hacker News”.

That was a typo, thanks for the catch! That’s exactly the point I was trying to make.

Interestingly, in the US, legal cannabis prices are usually more than double those on the black market because they’re taxed extremely heavily. Granted, users of cannabis aren’t* usually as captive as those on opioids, but the issue remains

I write template heavy code. I’ve recently refactored template instantiation across many object files. It’s faster, but a lot of work. It’d be great if I didn’t have to.

I hope there’s a similar precedent set to Alice vs. CLS Bank [0], stating that the same idea but implemented on a computer isn’t sufficient for a patent. It seems reasonable to me that solving a problem with artificial intelligence should f

The Independent used to have a chum box on its page. Whatever money it made for them, it made me associate that with their work, which I don’t think was that great to begin with.

My 3 year old SE finally broke. I spent 900 replacing it with an XR because they refused to release another SE and I value the emphasis on privacy and security. But not again. I feel they’ve squandered the good will they’d earned with me by

Rather than settling the agenda, I’d say they’re willing to experiment with policy that is then vetted before exporting. I’d see it more like a laboratory.
