It should be possible to do that using one Ethernet port using VLANs. You could buy a cheap L2 managed switch and use it to trunk two different Ethernet networks on the same port. Then you would configure the Linux…
SIGBOVIK is a parody of computer science conferences. It's a running joke hosted on April Fools Day every year at CMU - and apparently a quite convincing one. ;-) Source: I attended SIGBOVIK a few times in grad school.
As someone who lives in Pittsburgh - and likes the city quite a bit - I can attest to the fact that: (1) the weather is rarely perfect, (2) the entire city is under perpetual construction, and (3) the lines have not…
Concepts, modules, a file system library, and an asynchronous I/O library have all been discussed as additions for C++17 and beyond. Most of these features are standard in modern languages. I would not consider any of…
I had this issue fixed on my mid-2012 15" rMBP. It's known issue with some of the early LG panels on that model. The technician at the Apple store ran some standard image persistence diagnostic script to replicate the…
C++ is not technically a superset of C. Here are a few examples that are valid in C, but not C++: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1201840/111426 However, it's close enough that I generally agree with your point.
The bitfield example is misleading. Section 6.7.2.1/10 of the C99 standard says: "The order of allocation of bit-fields within a unit (high-order to low-order or low-order to high-order) is implementation-defined" There…
Why would you not use A* from the beginning? It's a trivial extension to Dijkstras and is often orders of magnitude faster when an informative heuristic is available. Also, both algorithms require identical data…
Unfortunately not. Matrix inversion (or any type of linear algebra, really) deals with real numbers. This problem is nearly a linear program, which can be solved very efficiently, except that some variables are…
Nope. Maybe it used to be true, but not as of 2007. "…prohibits you…from disclosing this letter, other than to…an attorney to obtain legal advice or legal assistance with respect to this letter."" Source:…
Nit: You can't, by definition, prove an axiom. Memorizing axioms is quite necessary because they are the building blocks for all other theorems. In any case, I don't disagree with your high-level point.
Matlab is much faster. For a sense of scale, a relatively simple image processing script ran 125 times faster in Matlab than Octave. This is, most likely, because Matlab has a better code optimizer. I don't see a…
Like antics said, this isn't true for graph planning. Here are three concrete examples that I know of: 1. Anytime D* was used by the winner of the DARPA Urban Challenge 2. Field D* was used by Spirit and Opportunity on…
It's not that uncommon in CS. I just started a Ph.D. program (Robotics at CMU) straight out of undergrad and a decent number of the other incoming students are in the same boat. It varies depending upon the field and…
I doubt it. The article makes this sound pretty specific to producing the magnetic disks used in hard drives. I don't see any reason why this would also work for silicon processes.
It works, but not as well as in OS X. At least as of ~6 months ago, the Linux drivers for the MBP/MBA multitouch trackpads were unpleasant to use. Everything nominally worked, but the user experience was terrible: e.g.…
Just a guess: The weaker gravity (around 1/3 of Earth's gravity) makes it much easier for wind to pick dust off the ground. Once a dust storm starts, it would also take a lot longer for the cloud of dust to dissipate.…
That description states a resolution of 1920x1200 instead of the 2560x1440 on these panels. I think 1920x1200 looks pretty awful on a 24" monitor, so I'm sure it will look even worse on one that is 3" larger. It's a…
He was being sarcastic (I hope).
Depending upon how this evolves, it could cause legal issues for employers who make postings. It's illegal to discriminate by a lot of personal information such as nationality, age, race, whether they have children. All…
I personally don't see the point in iGoogle, but it was perfect for a certain demographic. Anecdotally, I know of quite a few middle-aged people who learned to use the internet when portals were king. After Google…
It doesn't fit. The RJ-45 connector nearly the same size (possibly larger) than the edge of the retina MacBook Pro.
On OS X, you get clang and llvm-gcc in XCode 4.1, which is a solid 1.4 GB download. You're absolutely right about clang being pretty lightweight, so it's getting a bad wrap by association. I'm honestly not sure why…
Apples call it the "iPad 2" on their online store. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad (look at the bottom of the page)
I hate requirements like that. My hunch is that they the SE team hasn't put a ton of thought into the account creation process because they also support OpenID. I didn't even realize that you could login to…
