Indeed, but it would still need to be very basic. In Belgium the Science students (so, usually the 'smarter' students) had a CS class. I think the furthest we went were some different sorting algorithms ( insertion, bubble, quicksort).
Back in the days, everyone used to have a Commodore 64 and the like. Some claim that sparked interest as well in people, since you booted directly into BASIC, so you could program straight away. Yet all the other boys also had a Commodore 64, but that really didn't push them into CS. They could all do the 10 PRINT "PROFANITY" 20 GOTO 10, but that's as far as it went.
You would be amazed at some of the 'low level' libraries that GPU manufacturers have and license to other such companies. These companies have Math Phd's still trying to get better precision and faster computation at Sine and Cosine functions, etc... I'm sure they are not in a hurry to open source this type of research which took plenty of money and time.
Yes, but in that case you're running more than one "instance". The difference is that the "instance" is the set of processes that run and do the "database server" stuff ( handle memory, operate on the database,...). A "database" is just a bunch of physical files containing the database data. You can have many such physical databases on your server, yet one "instance" can at most operate on one physical database. You can run more instances (thus having the "different databases" effect) on one server, but those are different processes running on the same server. So basically, you have two distinct instances running in that case which each have connection to a different physical database.
Anyway, you can create different schemas in one database, so that kind of gives the effect of having different "databases" in one "database" too. I guess it's just a matter of convention.
I was thinking the same thing. Star Wars is breaking every box office record. All stores are filled with Star Wars toys and other merchandise. How discriminative is that?
There's actual proof that some parts of the Bible were actually made up ( I totally get the irony of that statement:-)). The original scriptures were written in Greek, and only translated to Latin 3 centuries later. The famous Pericope Adulterae from the gospel of John (let him who is without sin cast the first stone) only appeared in the Latin version in the 4th century I think, and was not present in the original Greek scriptures. This is a well known fact agreed upon by most biblical scholars. They just kept it because 'cool story, bro'. But I bet they don't tell you that in church.
I know a guy who worked at CERN and seriously it's only a place you want to stay if you're a hardcore physicist. These guys do research because they love it, not for fame or big money. How many persons of the general public can name a theoretical physicist next to Stephen Hawking? These guys easily find their way into other areas like Software Development, R&D, All forms of analytics like statistics and machine learning.
Here are some official stats for the last couple of years (https://www.aip.org/statistics/data-graphics/field-employment-exiting-physics-masters-working-private-sector-one-year): 45% engineering, 24% Computer and Information Tech, 10% phys/astronomy, 14% STEM and 7% non-STEM.
This was a serious non-conversation. She never encountered sexism on the work-floor nor has the need to profile herself by causing a shitstorm against a big name in the development world. Actually, she states she'd rather stay distant from those polemics in like the first 2 minutes and her co-workers are cool and supportive. Why keep on hammering on that subject?
Loggly seems like an interesting SaaS platform, with probably cool technology behind it. Cloud based, big data, data mining, load balancing, noSQL databases, web development, etc...
Maybe it would have been more interesting to know what she's actually working on, how that relates to the big Loggly picture and where her interests lay in the development realm.
It's important because they have tenure or are doing research as scholars for the given institutions. If someone working for Google, Apple or Microsoft comes up with something new or big on their time and dime, I'm sure they'd want their company to be mentioned as well. In research, you always mention your sponsor; may it be an academic institution or a particular grant you received.
I agree that for a given discovery, it's not because you are from Yale or Stanford that suddenly it's more valuable. Not every research from Yale of Stanford is per definition state-of-the-art. However, it's a chicken-egg problem, because these prestigious institutions tend to attract the brightest, or they at least get first pick in the pool of brightest people. This doesn't mean other researchers in other institutions can't be as good or even better.
For an RPG like fallout 4, I'd say children should be at least 12-14 yrs old to grasp the full meaning of it. I remember my 10-12 yr old nephew playing GTA 3 back in the days, an he didn't get the whole open world / mission aspect of it.
I don't know. My sources are a google search on the internet:-) The official PS4 website didn't list CD as a supported format and I saw a forum post of a guy saying he couldn't play his audio CD on it. But again, that's what the interwebz told me, could be wrong.
A non-trivial amount of PS2 games came out on CD-ROM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_CD-ROM_games) and not DVD. PS4 can't read plain old CD-ROM.
Exactly. let's say you have a DB that's under-performing in your system and that really needs to be looked at because it's affecting other parts of the system. It could be any number of things. Maybe the db schema was badly designed in a previous task. Maybe it's bad SQL queries. Maybe the DB installation is not optimal and adding memory / cache etc.. will help. Maybe the linux OS or VM which powers the DB is not optimal. This task can basically take from 1 hour to 2 weeks (just to put a number on it) to finish and troubleshoot. Who wants to commit sprint velocity suicide?
that's my experience as well which is the opposite of what the study claims. It seems to under-report distance, which causes lower measured speed. Indeed, with dropped measure points ( corners, running under trees or dense urban environment) it just counts less distance.
About the current pace, that's a bit to be expected. I noticed it's doing error correction as well, where at first it seems to under-report, and the next 30 seconds it's claiming I'm running much faster.
I have a Pi 2 (1GB ram) running from my generic Full HD Samsung TV USB port. It powers on when my TV powers on, no problem. Same with my old Pi (256 MB ram). The Pi has nothing sucking power though except keyboard, mouse, wired network, HDMI and the micro SD card.
And that's exactly what some of the girls say in the documentary and the points that are being brought across!
These are 15 year old girls, the competition is pretty fierce. They have to pitch, design and implement their App/Program in teams.
There are no "sparkle and rainbow and butterflies" coated instructions or Apps. The community problems they try to solve are hardcore. Some of the entries: An App that tests your reaction skills to see if you are fit to drive, An App by a Mexican team who wanted to check for Home Violence, Small Tools Sharing, A volunteering social network App, etc...
One of the girls says that's what she likes about it, they are put in charge of the whole process, and there is no "girly-pinkified" coding involved.
The Mexican girls were saying that if they were interested in Science or Computers, their teachers and surroundings would just tell them that's for boys and go do girly stuff, so this competition actually allowed them to go for the "non-girly-pinky" way of Software Engineering.
I, for one, was really impressed by the maturity and cleverness of all these 15 year old girls. I'm sure I would not have been able to do what they did as good when I was 15. Knowing these kids are around gives me hope for the future, Congratulations to all of them.
Although all these things sound cool, that's a sure way to not get into the country and be charged with whatever they come up with ( destruction of government property, assault - 'cause if that can fry a computer... , espionage, terrorism,... ).
If you're on some list you basically already lost. You can play dumb if it's a random check, you boot up to some family pics and some pr0n in the browser history. But if you're a journalist suspected of having some shady contacts and information, you are the weak spot, not your laptop. Because they may not get the info out of the laptop, but they sure can get it out of you. And these guys have training and years of experience in interrogations, whereas it may be the first time the journalist or other is being questioned. They also have all the time in the world, while you may have some planes to catch.

I like how they can quantify creativity so easily.

From the 80s though. Got into management and politics after awhile.

I think that country would definitely be better off without 'President' Mugabe.
