Would you have been willing to hire this person without them graduating?
Exactly one of the characters in that story can weather disasters.

Agreed. I remember reading Hinterlands as a high school student and being depressed for the following decade.
What does OpenMP (the shared memory parallel runtime) have to do with optimizing away less-used branches? Am I missing something here or did you mean something else instead of OpenMP?
I certainly understand that it's not legal to turn your house, nor your lunch, into a deathtrap. Nor at any point did I claim that any particular kind of action was legal. I said that Americans generally feel that we're…
I don't think the author gains anything. On the contrary, as a reader I gain something from this statement. It's not "now would be an excellent time to leave and you should feel bad you stupid person", it's "now would…
Elite track cyclists--i.e., the ones who ride at 40+ kmph on velodromes--definitely do squat. I wouldn't be surprised if they also incorporated power cleans and deadlifts. Example:…
You might be interested in ReproBLAS too.(http://bebop.cs.berkeley.edu/reproblas/) It uses a different approach than superaccumulators, which as far as I know was first explored for the purpose of determinizing parallel…
Alcohol. Both disinfecting-strength and recreating-strength.
It's not that eigenvalues per se are useless--they're plainly not--but that no one finds eigenvalues in practice by computing the characteristic polynomial and solving for its roots. Unfortunately, that computation is…
