That is an orthogonal discussion. I need masonry layouts a lot and tend to be on the "we don't need another display class" side in this debate. But that's unrelated to my "rant".
I mean the actual point of the article is to ask everyone, not just "well-known" examples. So it seems there were some reasonably forces in the discussion that align with my stance without the unnecessarily antagonistic…
Again: when did "well-known websites use this" become the motivating factor behind standard design? The blink tag was used by well-known website and it's universally recognized as a bad decision.
Where is the connection to "well-known websites"?
"Others are questioning whether or not this kind of layout is needed on the web at all — they aren’t sure that well-known websites will use it." Would it instead be possible to exclude anyone with that attitude from a…
"Flox began its life during the deployment of Nix at the D. E. Shaw group, where it quickly proved invaluable by making Nix easier for newcomers". Is that the line you are referring to? Sounds like the opposite of what…
Not at all. In fact I would call doing that the most German thing you can do.
"Having a few hundred consumer GPUs or a few dozen "datacenter" GPUs should be within the reach of any University department" That was funny - however not even close to reality. I have to work on a GTX 1080 (not TI)...
Try pressing esc every few seconds for 8-12hrs a day like a vim developer does and you'll know.
Seems like something there should be a 99pi episode about (maybe there is?)...
Is there any way I can see the name of attached files?
This exactly - complete recountability and the fact that there actually are independent volunteers recounting are the only assurances of a transparent, legitimate voting system. Black boxes (and computer systems by…

AFAIK current state-of-the-art in pathtracing are still metropolis light transport methods. Seems like current research is mostly focussed on denoising - which makes sense, since a good denoising provides a valuable…
I wonder why this gets downvoted - seems pretty reasonable to me...
Are you criticizing the naming of the television show? If so I don't think the makers (can) read HN comments...
Compared to vue, qt and all its reincarnations are a nightmare to work with.
No one claimed it is...
Actually C++ these days is moving more towards strong typing and immutability - imho the exact opposite of JavaScript...
No, I would never argue for C++. The reason being mostly its toolsets (constantly changing, instable and often incoherent). I just don't think readability is an argument - and I am as sick of (pointless) arguments…
So goto spaghetti is understandable? And dropping those isn't an argument since proper C++ usage also implies agreeing on a proper subset of the language to use. Modern C++ with sane restrictions is way more easy to…
Yes. I work in CS in the field of Computer Graphics and (by association) Computer Vision and Robotics. Our top conferences and journals are by ACM. However there are a few journals by Elsevier and IEEE which are…
I read this quite often and frankly do not understand it. How is Elsevier worse than ACM, IEEE or Springer? I found them to be equally intolerable but still Elsevier gets routinely picked as the prime example...
Having seen the state-of-the-art in action (https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.00730) I find the results pretty disappointing. Is there anything I miss?
Yeah - that is a "moderate" on the Torvalds scale...
