I only ever used it for things I would have preferred to use MATLAB for, so memory leaks or uptime weren't things I looked close enough at. I can image somewhere out there exists a safety of life critical piece of software in VBA that has its VM cycled by a chronic job to avoid memory exhaustion. Because that is the world we live in.
I'm completely serious. VBA way outperforms numpy. It is compiled to native vs the.net VB which is not. And it has everything I need for simple blas and even nonlinear programming all baked right in. Also it can call out to DLLs with a very low cost ffi.
I might have been overzealous in my statements to get a reaction. I do think copy and paste can be the beat form of reuse for domain specific stuff that is "just different enough" from an existing bit of code that generalizing it gets ugly. I have seen more instances of code that was made common for reuse that subsequently became less or un usable by any of its users than I have seen of the "oh crap I only fixed that bug in the other spot" problem. I prefer paraphrase to copy and paste as a form of reuse anyway. And then in so many instances I have seen people reuse code but they decided to create a wrapper to abstract away the lack of understanding they had, unknowing that there were already three such layers created for exactly the same reason.
I don't enjoy programming so much as having my programs work. Anything that makes that more difficult irks me. I hate abstraction layers for the most part. Coding standards are usually over generalized best practice. And the hideous nonsense we perpetrate in the name of reusability, extensibility, and maintainability makes me nauseus. Instead, "you aren't going to need it", "rewrite don't reuse", and " don't abstract what you don't understand".
VBA has better built in math libraries than python, c++, or java, and its about 11x faster than numpy for small dense matrices. I'd rather have MATLAB or eigen but I don't always get to pick my tools and then VBA is there to help.
I'm really curious how this turned out. I am all frustrated on your behalf ready to threaten a pharmacist to prevent your eyes from falling out. I hate rules and authority with an irrational passion. And yet I rarely change panes without signaling and become irritated at people who do. Maybe that is a politeness thing not a rule thing. I do like politeness. Right up to the point someone is quoting rules at me while my immune system is removing my new corneas.
That is a very good point. Quick search I found something from late 18th century england that says "milk of almonds to be consumed on fifh days". They are talking about lent observance which was the common usage back then. I think milk of almonds is less ambiguous.
Damore is a troublemaker, but his writing wasn't actively abusive. It cited journals and drew conclusions in what was obviously a carefully worded communication he knew would be controversial and even hurtful in some cases. In this case the wording is actively abusive, using derogatory terms that play on gender stereotypes. There is a clear difference in attitude and behavior here even if both people are potentially
sexist. One person walked the line, the other didn't even try to.
If you start in 68, then yes minimum wage hasn't kept up. If you start at the beginning in 38 then no, minimum wage is higher now then when it started when adjusted for inflation. http://money.cnn.com/interacti...
nuclear is only that high because it can *only* be used for base load. It can't scale back very well at all. That doesn't make it bad, it just means those numbers aren't the whole story. Grid infrastructure or storage breakthroughs could modify those numbers without the generation tech changing at all. But distributed grids are also large surface area targets for cyber attack.
The current scotus case law is that the legislature can only delegate implementation details of the laws they make. The wording that clarifies the meaning of that phrase indicates that implementation details do not significantly impact the effect of the legislation. So if we see the presence or absence of NN changing the internet in any significant way, then per the current case law, NN is not an implementation detail and hence not in the purview of the FCC. I personally disagree with that case law, but my polling numbers for God-emperor are down lately so it will probably stay for the time being.
My employer provides a vending machine that produces weak coffee that tastes like a mixture of all the flavored options it has ever vended with just a touch of machine grease. It costs slightly less than the Starbucks in the cafeteria. They also provide a k cup machine with a filtered water supply, but it has the same flavor problem and you have to provide the kcup. "Mmmm, hazelnut mocha vanilla oolong cinnamon lady grey Columbian French breakfast Vienna roast, my favorite!"
I guess I've become too jaded. I like window seats because leaning against the bulkhead is slightly more comfortable than leaning back into the seats with no headrest and support in all the wrong spots. I'm only 6ft who did theyake those things for? I also like window seats because I am in charge of the shade and I can keep it down. I don't like natural light it sunburns my atrophied muscles through my translucent skin.
It sounds like that is exactly what is happening though. I only get numbered spam. Also, I seem to get less than my friends and family. I think it is because my number lists as a landline instead of a cell. But that is just speculation. I don't get spam texts either, or is that still a thing?
Is anyone looking at forking quantum. Unlock origin and umatrix are the only extensions I use, and I like the performable and security benefits of quantum (and aesthetically I like that it uses rust).
As many years as I care to merge them into the branch for my device and recompile. If I could find a phone that lasted longer than a couple years without some piece of hardware going out I'd care more.
Actually imperial units are still in widespread usage here even within engineering groups. My company uses metric for softwaee, but physical stuff like structures or antennas gets done in foot pounds and the like. I am a proponent of switching, but they tried that 40 years ago and the only thing that stuck was liters on bottles of diabetes, er soda.
NASA iterated this experiment several times and worked very hard to exclude Lorenz. I don't think this is a reactionless drive, but I am skeptical it is Lorenz in light of the specific efforts to exclude that error. Some physicists at MIT proposed an alternative explanation that would simply require running the test with the cavity full of dielectric. They predict it would increase the observed effect by a magnitude or more. I haven't seen anyone try that and it seems pretty easy if you already have the setup.
It isn't people getting out of jury duty that is the problem. The lawyers dismiss everyone with critical reasoning skills. They don't want the case tried on its merits because they have no control over those. So they select people they think they do have control over. My dad always said bringing a technical textbook to read at selection guaranteed him a dismissal in the first round.
I think he is drawing a distinction between fixed wealth and wealth that is tied to family size. If I get a fixed value regardless of family size I imagine they would shrink, but wouldn't the ubi scale to familiar size? Shrinking family sizes in developed countries may be the cause not the result of wealth. But even if it is not, it makes sense with a fixed amount of wealth to divide it by the smallest number of offspring if you want to take the strategy of focusing on fewer better prepared offspring instead of spray'n'pray to its extreme.
I just checked the transportation code for CA and TX because they are the biggest states. They both require pedestrians to walk facing traffic on roadways without sidewalks. I'm not sire if I'm feeding a troll or not but for anyone's information its VA code 21956.

Local rock club has a 3d printer that can print casting wax. You coat it, kiln it, then fill the preheated mold with silver or gold to make jewelry.

Also not the purview of the FTC.

Er which witcher? I liked the first one a lot. Two was meh, and I still haven't purchased anything that can play the third one.

This is /. We do car analogies here.
It is like going to a used car lot and sitting in each car in the row, and then being arrested because half of them belonged to customers.
