Don't we are about the ability of the compiler to optimize? Does anybody compile code nowadays?

Isn't it an FPGA chip?

This is bad. Physical objects are a way to permanently an irrevocably establish a position. It is not possible to delete or change a textbook on the fly. This will open up textbooks to instant manipulation for political goals.

I always felt that companies were in a very unfortunate position. Almost everybody I now who was smart went to graduate school. How does one higher in that kind of environment? It always seemed companies received mediocrity; at best.

I worked on programming cutting robots and I can that they were extremely computationally intensive. They needed to constantly perform SVD to find stable solutions. There is a lot of innovation in this field (applied robotics).

There is no clear financial connection. The only way to make a strong financial connection is to imagine a default scenario; where thousands of students can't pay off their loans. There is little evidence for this as student loans tend to be cheaper then housing loans (It is impossible get 300K of student loans) and they tend to have nicer terms less ways to default. Perhaps whats happening is some kind of social slavery where it is harder to peruse ones dreams due to loans, but its not a financial bubble.

My experience says otherwise, but it requires approaching the person and bragging for minutes. Its certainly possible to do this, but not via Internet or paper applications.
Lednakashim | 14 years ago | on: FreeBSD 10 to use Clang, GCC will be deprecated
My code consists of tight loops used for numerical simulation. Clang runs about 2x slower. Hence I conclude that Clang is bad for optimizing tight loops.
Many of the Clang vs. GCC tests are clandestinely skewed towards llvm because they involve code that does not benefit from low level optimization.
Many of the people who work on GCC are scientists who want tight loop performance while many of the folks who work on clang want a BSD license.

Thats nonsense, a broken Linux distro is not cost effective to fix because the number of breakpoints is innumerable. Zounds of configuration files, buggy software any an extremely branching entry point and shared dependencies make it quicker to wipe your install and start again. This is what I do with my installs; if it breaks wipe it.

Fact: normal people invested significant time learning MS Windows. They will not be happy about the loss of productivity involved in switching GUIs.

Experience: My professors were shit, but I was able to do science in one of their labs and that got me into graduate school. Research faculty give opportunities that are impossible to find elsewhere.
Lednakashim | 14 years ago | on: Email is not broken: It’s a framework, not an application
Whats the difference? If our client reads specialized xml instead of plaintext, haven't we "changed" e-mail to the extent that we have broken it for non-compatible clients? To me e-mail is ascii/html without meta-data, when we add meta data we have e-mail 2.0, which is not compatible and hence different.
