Scilab is far better and always had native 3D graphics, a GUI and a simulation engine: scicos/xcos. It atonishes me that it is systematically ignored. Is it because is french?
The British had performed brutal actions more recently. Against the Mau Mau for instance. But they are so cunning in being at the winning side, that they can apply the "vae victis" principle over and over again. And they are morally inferior to the USA because they lack any self criticism.
I dreamed of a custom computer system for my car. After just installing the video screen and audio system, I realized exactly that: you either drive or you manipulate the gadgetry. Let's put the intelligence where it belongs in a car: under the hood. Or go for a self driving car Google style.
Let me explain. Someone writing c++ code declares some variables to be private in a class, and later tries to access them directly. Of course the compiler complains. Then the guy asks why in stackoverflow. The answering sequence goes somewhat like this: Bjarne Stroustrup says that it can not be done because... : -1 point The c++ standard says that... : -1 point Bertrand Meyer explains that the concept of privacy is.. because.. : -1 point Declare the variable public or use setters-getters : -1 point In every instance, the guy who has more than 900 points, only answers : "It's not clear why, could you abound?" Who wants to help when you are punished because of that? What means the grading system in such a place? Of course stackexchange is several quantum levels above.
My personal experience is that there are bullies in stackoverflow that use the points system to extort code. It's like High School. If you don't make my homework, I beat you. But shameless ignorance is the norm these days. The myth of education as a waste of time for programmers, is hurting. Who reads a manual before making a stupid question? That's studiyng, you are loosing money! In the Zuckerberg-Scrooge school.
Stackoverflow is a source of clutter in the internet. People that rushes to program usually make dumb questions in stackoverflow, and demand a solution, not an answer. Then they punish those that give answers and explanations. They, an their hoard, demand a working a solution, so they can go on improvising without learning. And that is what stackoverflow grading system represents: an ignorance correlation index. I have to add "-stackoverflow" to every internet query these days. So pervasive is their crap.
Whole cultures are based on that. The Spanish speaking world, my own, goes by this rule: one thing is what is said and faked and other what is thought and done. And what they hate the most from immigrants and visitors from other cultures is that they take what is said in its strict meaning. Believe it or not.
If every kilometer of it's tracks is about as costly as the German's maglev, what is the economic justification? China balked at the cost of a Shanghai-Beijing maglev line and built a wheeled system instead. And nobody has built a maglev after the Shanghai's airport to city center line.
As every electrical engineer knows, an AC transmission system is a quadratic-complex system. And in the sense of both the inherent complexity and the complex numbers involved. There is no energy storage in the system (no inertia), has noticeable delays, and it is tightly coupled. Only high redundancy and decoupling can make the system more reliable. But that is costly. Who wants to pay more?
Societies are prey of people ignorant of science. They believe that any arbitrary model can be applied to a society, and they blame the common citizens if it fails. Look at the catastrophes that marxism and monetarism had produced. If you had taught physics to freshmen, you have found that most of them have a hard time grasping the mater and energy conservation principles. How much science economists and politicians know? That explains a lot of what is going wrong in this world.
I absolutely agree with you. But until someone young with a new paradigm for translating human intentions to machine code comes around, we must stick to all that context free grammar stuff. That's the origin of all the mess. We need a fresh start in programming languages.
As a Venezuelan, and descendant of Spaniard republican refugees, I can not agree more with you. But Pinochet was Chilean. As a child I had to suffer Chile's madness and as a grown up Venezuela's dive in to social schizophrenia. So, IMHO, what happens with HP's board of directors, is a small version of the group irrationality and a consequence of still unknown forces (chaos?). As you say, we have good descriptions but we don't know what is really going on.
In the future when we get used to robots and go over the uncanny valley, if grand ma dies, we skin her corpse and wrap a robot with it. So family remains united.
In poor countries the salaries are so low that people can not afford all the software they want. When you make 6000 US$ a year and only one of the application you need costs 2000 US$ , you resort to piracy. There are many cracked applications available in the WEB and most of them insert backdoor traps, trojans and worms.
So if the study goes in line with my beliefs, then it's ok. No? The point really is that this days anyone has a study that fits his (her) agenda. That the temperatures are going up is a fact. But no interpretation or hypothesis is a fact yet. In any case, ask a geologist when the earth has been a isothermal process. And I don't buy that a pre-human nirvana was harmed by the evil industrial civilization, like some luddist and gnostics preach us.
It's a funny embargo. Cuba buys the USA food whenever they have some cash. An the Americans sell them eagerly whatever they can... By the way, the rest of the world have normal commercial relations with Cuba. But the Cuban regime speaks as if they where under a blockade like in the missiles crisis, because it's good propaganda. Specially with those ignorant campus leftist.
Regarding all the ignorance about “perception” above 30Hz, I can give you a counter proof. In the CRT times, the Swedish health standards called for refresh rates of 25Hz above the electric facility frequency (60Hz in the USA) , so that the peripheral retina, which is it's fastest part, could not notice it. That prevented eyestrain. From the other posts that talk about the “myth” that you can notice something above 100Hz or cite friends that have the “impression that” , it can be inferred that a greater background in sciences is needed.
You sound funny and even amusing because you sound so much like those turbopascal and eclipse programmers that we, the C/C++ bunch, left in the dust decades ago. Keep on programming in your favorite "fashionscript". See later your carcass at a side of the road. That's going to be funny.
From the beginning of their history, the Russian approach to foreign technology has always been adapting, but isolate at the same time. They choose their own alphabet and their own railroad gauge. They even had ternary computers. The idea is that foreigners and nationals only can share information and goods through the state.

In my own experience, the guy renaming the files by hand prefers that to writing the script. Most people avoid thinking at any cost.
May I copyright the F*** word for cursing and yelling?
To all the engineers working on this: you're responsible. You are doing this. You are a terrible person.
As always, engineers take the blame. This kind of comments are typical humanistic slander.

I had to buy a kindle because small fonts gave me headaches and eye pain.

A german saying:

Who builds on the street, must let people talk.

Norwegian study vale + French study value + German study value + Australian study value + .....
Then divide by N and you have the "truth".
