Also from BC: we get up in the dark in the winter either way. May as well have it light when I get off work.

Duopoly is bad. We should work to fix that. A monopoly is worse.

Isn't that what all freedom is? Every restriction on freedom is for the benefit of society. At least according to those making those restrictions. Even the soviets thought that the reason suppression was necessary was so that those at

Verilator is very good. It's faster than anything else, and it is free. The downsides are it won't stimulate encrypted IP blocks. And it doesn't do mixed language sim, so vhdl is no bueno.

For a long time I've wanted to use something like this to remove advertisements from hockey games.The moving ads on the boards are really annoying. Maybe I'll get around to actually doing that one of these days.

What would have to change for you to consider it a country? It has a government, there has been talk of a European Army. It has a sovereign currency. If it is the squabbling between constituent states: hello from Canada! Check out our polit

Treating something as entertainment does not prevent you from learning from it, or taking what it says as fact. I learned a lot about the structure of the US government from reading Tom Clancy. No one is mistaking that as a documentary but

It's kinda like Alexander Graham Bell, claimed by the Scots (in England they call him British) the Canadians and the Americans.

When I was in highschool and having a rough time (nothing like these kids are going through) then I really liked hockey because for 60 mins only the game mattered, none of the other bull shit. I don't think I could get that at a roboti

That criticism seems to conflate culture with skin. The NHL has a culture where bring the spotlight on individuals is frowned upon (For a long time having a high number on you sweater was considered showboaty). The article wants to call thi

Ice is more expensive than fields, but there is probably a feedback loop as well.

Carpool lanes, different tolls for commercial vs personal. I think these are essentially doing that.

Note, this was not some winding two-lane so typical of BC interior (Though this is getting better). This is a good road that was recently upgraded for the 2010 Olympics.

Is that legal? In Canada I'm not sure your allowed to sell unpasteurised milk.

Pretty sure they are only free for at risk people/ health care workers. At least that is true in BC. http://immunizebc.ca/diseases-vaccinations/influenza Healthcare is a provincial responsibility in Canada

Nvidia had a presentation at the risc-v workshop a few years back. I think they are building chips with it. Nothing the regular programmer sees though I don't think

Yeah there are a few out there. At Vectorblox we have ORCA that we use as a cross-platform replacement for nios/microbaze. I don't know of anyone who has built anything as sophisticated as BOOM though.

Those are daytime running lights. I wish headlights were mandatory, that would eliminate people driving in rainy twilight without lights on.

Personally I wouldn't try smuggling from across, taking beer and smokes across without declaration is significantly less of a risc than taking banned substances. I say this as a Canadian a few minutes from the Washington border.

I'm pretty far out of my area of expertise, so I'll take your word for it. Could an an algorithm be correct, but not proven correct, or is it defined as a heuristic at that point?

by vanjoe 9y ago
I think it's even less useful, even if P = NP it is possible that no one finds an algorithm. Creating a (useful) algorithm is independent of proving the theorem. Also interesting is that someone could create an algorithm that solves NP
