Thank you kindly, sir. I nearly thought that TFS had gotten it twisted and misspelled Inverse Fast Fourier Transform again. Oh, and um.. I'm not joking when I say I've been hacking up cronjobs from my phone's busybox bash shell since the first day I've had a smartphone, but, ehm... could you just tell me how long I actually have to keep this shit up for until I turn into "a real man" already, you insensitive clod?!
I'm waiting for those phones to start packing better DACs and ports but it looks like they're heading the other way instead. Amazing what's integrated on them phone SoCs but how the analog audio is still barely on par with any old MP3 player (that is, without buying a seperate digital-to-analog converter to schlep around).
And yes, lighter and thinner does not sound comfortable for my kinda paws. I already tend to get my wig twisted when holding and typing one-handed, what with that slick glass lacking any heft or grip, all rounded corners and subtle input-lag.
Fair enough.. should be a simple "git pull" then, but still, I'd urge anyone to think twice before pulling: can you handle it? Maintaining that forking big ball of mud?
I prefer to use FOSS software. But I also prefer to use a computer that works.
Wow, why don't you just march right up to Stallman, pull on his beard, and tell him to go fuck himself. He fought long and hard for your freedom! Freedom from the evil slavery of proprietary software like Super Mario Borthers. You make me sick! God damn you!
Hey now.. one cannot simply walk in and proceed to pull on the beard of Stallman. You insensitive clod. What gives you the right? That thing is his, you know?
PS.. I tend to take Hololens videos with a bit of salt (since the attempts at covering up the limited FOV in the first footage) but this looks pretty damn neat for a camera rig that's not too complex, their algorithms seem to handle occlusion and such near-seamlessly.
If you squint hard enough, you can already spot him lurking outside your Windows at night:
HoloHans(®)
You see, Microsoft's engineers have finally managed to implement a VR Hans Gruber, and make no mistake, he's there to snatch all of your codes. "I'm going to count to three point eleven, there will not be a four. Give me the code."
Because 'Computer Programmer' in this instance is 'Mainframe Programmer', one of the older 'types' of computer programmer
Odd that the PDF whips out every kind of statistical trick but somehow still doesn't tell us that. Nor is there any mention on the Glassdoor website of the study being restricted to such a subset. In any case, I wouldn't label "mainframe" work as scientific seeing how it's mostly a banking thing (COBOL be there).
The pronouncement is the latest among sweeping changes attempted at a time of crisis by the conglomerate and carries echoes of a 1993 exhortation by Samsung Group patriarch Lee Kun-hee to executives to 'change everything but your wife and children.
As if no executives are ever married to any men whatsoever? What a clodly thing to say.
But on the other hand.. that lowly line will likely make a good story for tomorrow's Slashdot. It's a thorny issue indeed: why would you NOT want to change your children? Isn't the whole point of raising a kid to have it change into something semi-acceptable if not passable?
What surprises me(especially since AMD is clearly capable of it, since the PS4 does it, and it'd be a bit of a shock if Nvidia and Intel were incapable of following suit or already have something ready to go) is that CUDA(or OpenCL)-targeted systems still haven't made any moves(at least not commercially visible ones) toward unified memory architecture;
CUDA has had all kinds of unified memory support since version 6, so for at least two years now, I reckon. Have a look at cudaMallocManaged(). The stack memory is "unified" as well now, as is the system allocator (since the GM2xx series).
Wouldn't it be something if Microsoft made a Clippy in the form of a small Dijkstra depiction? They could use this Office Edsissent to help the user pick the shortest path when wading through widgets, ribbons, and wizards. And it would readily provide basic Clippy functionality, snidely deriding the user when it finds any error in correctness.
You can't just take hundreds of man-years of Ph.D level work and dump it into the public domain.
Is like no one ever told him he should peddle the work to journals to keep the grants flowing. That's how it goes, see, who is gonna pay up when the payers no long get paid?

Neither the summary nor TFA has a link to the actual paper. Insensitive clods, the both of 'em.
I'm with you, but only if you change the name to GNU/Pollo and let me paint a headless chicken on the front.

THIS is how "switchable graphics" is done. Nvidia, take note!
For packing 6500K of heat.
They gon' go full Clockwork Orange on you back at the station, strapping you down while you're forced to watch a wall full of the worst and warmest.

Word indeed! Punctuate properly y'all, don't make me have to let loose my Commado Dragon!
In fact, FOSS is ideal for airgapping any apparatus, on account of all its open bits and such.
Oh well.. what sounds like free-form obfuscation improvisation to me turns out to be, once more, the state of the art in today's heists.

Quite the CUDA card, this one..
Until there's HBM, with its ultra-wide memory busses, this thing seems a likely choice for mem-buffer intensive crunching.
What is an "epic solar power binge"? Is that Cantonese for "power trip"?
Macros are dangerous.
Or worse..
Considered Harmful.

Would be enough to make me leave vim.

This cutting edge paradigm shift, I need it, my purse is pounding. Tell me right away where I can purchase your synergistic software suite.
What's next, a major nursery for the army?
It's hard to imagine anyone dying while doing what they loved. I mean, who actually loves dying?
Now, how do you like *them* Apples?
Most toasters pack serious heat ya know, fuck around and they WILL bring the painini.
