How on earth is the past making a comeback as a result of this?
In the UK we've had deliveries from supermarkets via internet shopping for ages now. I'm pretty sure I remember using Tesco in about 2004 or so and it wasn't new then. I found this article from 1998 indicating it was being tested then, and in some cases rolled out nationwide:
You have to separate the rendering pipeline into multiple parts. The server side can do a lot of the heavy lifting of calculating polygons, etc but it does not need to send every pixel to the client device. It only needs to send the description. Think something along the lines of a PDF doc that describes the scene to be rendered. If the hardware on the client side is optimized to render that then it can be done. At least, that's how I would do it if someone paid me tons of money to attempt to do it.
You've just invented OpenGL and X11 circa 1997 or so. Basically you could shove the geometry into the card, which would get sent over the network and stored on board. Then, you could just poke new model view matrices or whatever and it would pull all the geometry and textures out of local memory.
Or possibly you've invented scene graphs depending on how you envisaged it precisely.
You must not do any fermentation, do you? You release CO2 into the air as a matter of organic process generating ethanol via biological means.
But it's less CO2 than the plants took up in the first place to make the sugar. The rest is emitted when you digest the alcohol. So it's catbon *neutral* as in after a complete cycle there's no net change.
With the possible exceptions of dealing with clients, firing employees, and accusing people of crimes, the cumulative number of exclamation points you should ever use in your business e-mails is exactly 0.
I use exclamation marks, emojis and even bitmojis in my business emails. Suck it curmudgeon!!!!!
It's Southwark waste management facility, which is basically a massive sorting machine that takes in single stream recycling and further splits it up into glass, paper, mixed plastics, aluminium, steel and non recyclable rubbish.
There's quite a lot of benefit: you don't need to trust people to sort peoperly, people only need one recyclables bin (space is an issue in a city), you have fewer journeys from the dustbin lorries and so on.
If you're a nerd and in London on one of its open days it's well worth a visit to get the tour around the separting system.
I guess you're a rightwinger then. true but false, lol! A true fact but it's false because it disagrees with your ideaology. You must be a Trump supporter!
I bet you think your story was "false but true" as in you were rampantly making shit up but it sounds right so it must be true.
Re wanting Canada's system ? The closer we get to Canada's system the faster our costs go up.
That's some staggering incompetence then: adopting the healthcare of a country with much cheaper healthcare already and fining it's even more expensive than the current most expensive system in the world.
Sounds like you need to learn how to take responsibility for your problems.
Yeah if you're born poor you should take responsibility, vote with your wallet and buy better parents next time. You deserve to suffer for your short sighte stupidity! #MAGA
No they'e not. You're getting dangerously close to "freedoms are only what's explicitly listed in the constitution".
It's kind of amusing that the country with the highest incarceration rate in the world continually trumpets about "how free" it is.
You have judges in Europe trying to force kitchen knives to be duller.
No you don't.
Go dig out proof for that, I'll wait....
OK, well done! You found the Daily Fail article on a retiring judge who as a private citizen in his retirement speech said he thought it would be a good idea.
Freedom to advance yourself economically ? well the U.S. is number one for economic freedom once again having just beaten Hong Kong.
Economic freedom: if you start rich, you can get richer easily! For the other 99% social mobility is the rather better measure and the US is about on a par with the UK in that regard, much worse than the scandinavian countries. There if you're born poor you're much more able to do something about it.
The best freedom isn't much use if it's only afforded to those who can pay.
We are kind of low on the freedom to leach off your fellow citizens though.
Unles you're a company! Somehow you've arranged a system where your healthcare costs over twice as much as other developed nations and has worst outcomes in for mose cases. And the insurance companies are massively profitable.
Oh and then you have those massively profitable monopoly telcos with poor services which have managed to legally ban reasonable competition in many places.
And so on and so forth. There's plenty of leeching in the US, and a lot of it is done by companies.
Great example of the fallacy of relative privation.
Plus 110010001000 has clearly never worked a day of construction in his life. Frankly I don't think he's ever worked a day of anything in his life, since that's hard to do from his mother's basement.
B) She's tried Lactaid pills on more than one occasion. At least so far, they haven't worked for her for some reason. If you have any additional advice we might be able to try, I'm all ears. She'd love to be able to eat real pizza and ice cream again.
Have you checked for the rarer caesin allergy rather than lactose? Caesin obviously isn't affected by lactase enzymes (so the pills or lactoe removed milk won't help) but sufficiently cooked milk doesn't hae it (but does retain lactose). Also trying goat or sheep milk baed products may be revealing.
On #5 above, China has been subsidizing their steel production, pushing US foundries out of business.
That's the big one, and it seems to be one f the Chinese government's strategies. I don't really see that tarriffs in such an area are a bad idea. Funny thing is David Cameron used it t odrum up anti-EU sentiment prior to justifying the Brexit referendum: evil EU won't allow us to support our steel industry with local tarriffs or government support. Of coure they won't it's supposed to be an EU wide thing, and guess who was the major dissenting voice for steel tarriffs?
Note that for the first time in ever we have a businessman leading the country. ...
A "businessman" with record of bankruptcy and inheriting vast amounts of real-eastate just prior to a massive boom.
No what you have is a TV personality with delusions of grandeur fueled by a lucky start in life.
Knowing about that problem seems valuable to me. Isn't that a failure of reproducibility?
A bit? I mean yes kind of. No on said reproducing was easy, and technically it's possibly with hand-holding from the student (probably), which of course only works if the stuent is still in contact with the world.
It's an imprefect system.
Plenty of non-software people have written software with defects in it and not even known it. Having the software at least run on even one other machine seems like the absolute bare minimum before the paper is even acceptable.
Sure, the trouble is every extra step costs money and no one's paying for that. People (i.e. the PI's boss) give no credit, so any time spent on such things can harm the PI's future employment chances.
Not experts" at writing code is no longer an acceptable excuse.
No, more not experts at software engineering. Some of those people write numerics code which neither of us could follow, I'd wager. But they don't have a clue about things like release management or even version control.
If the result is such a shambles that no one can even run it outside of the original environment, that's a pretty firm indicator that it probably doesn't run correctly even in the original environment.
Maybe? Possibly? The authors are generally adept within the very narrow domain of the bit they need to do (the analysis). All the ancilliary stuff can be exceptionally brittle however, like dependence on specific sub-versions of packages (which it may not be obvious how to install) and obscure configurations, very precise layouts of brittle formats, precise file naming schemes and so on.
If software engineering was easy they wouldn't pay us to do it.
ARM just isn't there yet. Benchmarks of the CPUs look good, but the entire system just isn't up to par with an Intel or AMD based hardware stack. My 8-core 2.45Ghz ARM laptop feels like a 1.5ghz dual-core Celeron.
A large part is the ARM chip lacks the high speed, low latency RAM subsystem. Those things draw a lot of power, so they'd start to seriously lose the power advantage.
The main disadvantage of x86, namely the high complexity instruction decoder has become an increasingly small part of the power budget over the years. The rest, that is the out of order execution, fast wide vector units, large caches etc gets dominant on the high end CPU.
I'm telling you a fact: 99% of academic code is written precisely what you'd expect from the training, experience and incentives of the people writing it. Chances it works on the student's machine until the next update. Good luck getting it run elsewhere. I have downloaded "released" software which I was utterly unable to get running despite considerable effort.
"Show the code" is kind of useless if the code doesn't run.
If you are too embarrassed about how you wen't about your research to share it, you should not be publishing.
It seems like you're substituting random anger for actually thinking or knowing anything about the situation. As it happens I don't count myself among that 99% what with currently being a software engineer (and not currently a publishing academic).
If a researcher will not share their data and their methods,
It always makes me chuckle when someone says this. I take it you're a aoftware guy? For the point of this explanation I hope so, and a lot of us here are, so I'll assume you are.
Imagine you had a 23 year old programmer fresh out of school. Actually forget that imagine you had a 23 year old STEM grad who did something like physics or engineering. They're smart, did a little programming on the course and probably self taught to learn a bit more.
They have zero software engineering experience. Zero experience in building large systems, zero experience in building reliable software, no idea about unit tests, version control or release management. They have yet to experience the pitfalls of doing things like hardcoding paths because they've never shared their software with anyone.
Now consider that they're in a lap where their adviser has zero software experience either (what with being a scientist not a professional software person). Layer on top of that that the system positively discourages all the best practices because they need to get the result out fast as a one off then move on to the next result.
Now let that student loose on a pretty large project, say a year's worth of work.
That, the code is the "show me what you did" bit for a large part of it. I've been there on both sides. sharing tha tis not nearly as useful as you might expect.
oint in case: I've finally gone into college and started my BsC Media-CompSci and on my first project I get a stern look for quoting details on RSA from a book from 1998. They told me they're embarrased to quote anything that's older than 5 years and I should never quote a book from 1998.... WTF?
I'd agree with the WTF. I've spent a lot of time in academia though and never had that. You might have just got unlucky with an idiot for an adviser.
This paper-publishing apears to me like some intelectual masturbation academics like to indulge in and not neccesarly something that brings humanity forward.
It's something academics are required to do to keep their jobs. The metrics which determine funding (often controlled by the funding bodies who are controlled by the government who are controlled by the politicians) are poor and not only encourage but almost require this kind of churn.

The number of exclamation points you use is inversely proportional to both how many IQ points I estimate you
yes, but IQ is a flawed measure of intelligence!!
With the possible exceptions of dealing with clients, firing employees, and accusing people of crimes, the cumulative number of exclamation points you should ever use in your business e-mails is exactly 0.
I use exclamation marks, emojis and even bitmojis in my business emails. Suck it curmudgeon!!!!!
For social e-mails,
Social who with the what now?
In school I was taught to use an exclamation point only after a command or an exclamation, not to "convey true enthusiasm".
i think you're teachers were wrong!
Why not just go for M.2 2230 instead of SD-cards? SD-card is 24x32mm, so it is actually bigger.
Presumably because the M.2 family are designed for internal use and the SD card is designed for external use.
Still not as good as yours what is it again ?
I've no idea what you think my motto is, but I have a feeling you're about to channel yours and just make something up...
"what you don't know is whatever you want it to be ?"
Well what do you know? My prediction was 100% correct!
Now just admit you were wrong about the whole knife thing!
Own your ignorance he wasn't the first or the only
If in doubt, make shit up. #MAGA
You're just thrashing around avoiding the point.
Your claim about knives and judges was flat out wrong. Own your mistake.
This can be solved by having the collector sort the recyclables, which means that not having single stream recycling offers no benefit.
This is what happens locally to me:

It's Southwark waste management facility, which is basically a massive sorting machine that takes in single stream recycling and further splits it up into glass, paper, mixed plastics, aluminium, steel and non recyclable rubbish.
There's quite a lot of benefit: you don't need to trust people to sort peoperly, people only need one recyclables bin (space is an issue in a city), you have fewer journeys from the dustbin lorries and so on.

IOW: Should rights be limited because a number of individuals pooled their resources toward a common goal?
As private individuals? No.
But if they take advantages of limites liability protection? Sure why should they have more rights than individuals?
