How is this news? Apple has had the exact specs (27 in, 5K res) available since something like 5-7 years ago, both as a stand-alone monitor and as an iMac.

The example of "foo bar" didn't work with while but inserting tr fixes it: echo "foo bar" | tr ' ' '\n' | while read -r var; do echo ${var}; done For examples in general, I guess somethi

Of xargs, for, and while, I have limited myself to while. It's more typing everytime but saves me from having to remember so many quirks of each command. cat input.file | ... | while read -r unit; do <cmd> ${unit}; done | .

One way to think of a monad is through the example of a shell (e.g., bash) pipeline: # cat data.csv | process-1 | process-2 | ... | process-n > final-output Imagine you have this pipeline that already works for data.csv. But now you have

Most comp-biologists who work directly with programmers are some of the biggest jerks, and the least qualified tech folks. They hide all of that under "I'm a scientist, you're not".

No similarities. The focus is different. - BOINC looks like an interface for end-users to volunteer compute resources for various (existing) distributed-computing projects. - Post is about building your own distributed system starting from

What a compiler does used to be called automatic programming in the 1960s.

I hadn't either. But I refer to the method as 'code isolation'. There are a bunch of related stuff that's interesting: - code slicing (known as code-splitting in JS community). - round-trip compilation

Thanks for putting it in context. This is exactly what I'm looking for. (making it practical, I'll take care of that myself).

Wait, wait, wait. I was going to point out llvm/clang, but they disabled that too? It's a BSD/MIT-license tool. Any idea why they did that? second big-picture question: how hard is it to code up ast (as long as the source lan

99% of the effort is 'what hash function?'

Consider a candidate both on a 'holistic-track' and a 'single-score track' and require them to meet standard on only one of the two.

When it comes to measurement, 1.7320 is not the same as 1.732 The trailing zero was part of the measurement and, hence, is included in the significant digit count. That also means you can't just measure 1.7320, and report 1.73200 inste

Lemme know when the catfight between systemd and docker is over. I'm a bit busy with chroot and freebsd-jails over here.

I hate to admit this, but I'm one of those types too (who you wouldn't want as the authors of your obit). I've been called every name in the book by my own friends, e.g., Dunning-Kruger, "full of it", etc, etc. I kn

If you switched from vim to evil-on-emacs, you didn't really switch to emacs. You switched to something akin to a best-of-both-worlds.

Racket is about a gazillion times bigger than R6RS. And R6RS is too big for me.

I'm a big fan of C but, to be fair, your example makes border-line abuse of the macro system. In my opinion, the example doesn't show that C language per se (without the preprocessor part) is capable of higher-order functions (but

- I don't get lisp's (lisp-2) dynamic scoping (a big reason I haven't switched from vim to emacs). I'm much more comfortable with the lexical scoping of scheme (lisp-1). - I don't get big schemes (like R6RS). For a

I just spent 20 minutes on imgui, as well as retained-mode and immediate-mode, and boy do people love to reinvent the wheel. My guess: they're going to gloat over immediate-mode for a decade or two, then some folks are going to develop

So you're saying big-tech and big-money hates scales and scalability? Who do you think bought all those billions of android and apple phones and tablets?

A simpleton tree-hugger mindset will automagically solve our biggest global challenges for 8 billion people in the 21st century. After all, it "feels" like it will work for millions, so it'll end up working for billions too.

Pick a random essential nutrient. For instance, take zinc. Human body needs it. It needs to be taken in. You need to ensure the right food items, or the right supplements, doesn't matter. Where does that source come from? plants? anima

This topic is near and dear to my heart and at a quick glance, I pretty much agree with all/most of this post. I gained multiple years of industry software engineering experience before joining academia (non-CS, graduate-level). And I

Wondering if this was inspired by Wenzel Jakob's nanogui [0] by any chance. (cz that's what I wanted to do, rewrite nanogui in C, so I don't have to rely on a C++ compiler). The appeal of nanogui to me is that it's built

You're describing 'science the method'. GP is describing 'science the community'. Scientific method (mostly) works and bears fruit at longer timescales (40, 60, 100 years, or longer). In the meantime, over short to
