I never understood why a couple of GNU command line tools made it worth calling the OS GNU/Linux.
If anything it's the Desktop Environment that should matter.

Sublime Text, which is a simple text editor, is a better IDE than any other IDE out there.

But he's right. Both the VS compiler and the build system are of poor quality and deliver very poor performance and scalability.
Coupling your development environment and your building environment is of course a pretty bad idea. Nothing beats a text editor + a terminal.

Actually, most significant C or C++ projects are done without an IDE. It just gets in the way of project-specific tools and doesn't scale well for larger projects.

It contributes to the school's reputation.

And we also have plenty of research that claims we can use graphene to build computers.
Yet new processors are still being built with silicon.

Material sense is unlikely to fix anything.

How is nuclear power less renewable than solar panels made out of rare-earth minerals?
At least some forms of nuclear fuel are plentiful...

Germany can still buy France's nuclear energy, even if they decided to stop having nuclear reactors themselves.

The real mystery is why do Americans think it's being mispronounced.
Sorry to break it to you, but the proper sound of giga-.is indeed j. Even the US National Bureau of Standards agrees.

I just purchased a Macbook Air with max options, cost me 2,000 USD. Why would I swap it for 650 dollars?
It makes no sense.

If your post is any indication, apparently, you can't be atheist without being insulted.

Religion really is evil.

Indeed, the GPU constrained programming model is ill-suited for this, but a Xeon Phi isn't. And the next-gen Xeon Phi will have very low latency networking on board, too.

My bad about tori, the supercomputers I have had access to lately were all fat tree.

It's not that specialized. It's just plenty of DSPs strapped together on a torus.
Unlike what wikipedia claims, you could probably achieve comparable performance using a more classical and general-purpose supercomputer setup with GPU or Xeon Phi accelerators, provided the network topology is well tuned to address this sort of communication scheme (most recent supercomputers don't use tori)

There are hundreds of processors with 64 cores or more, each of them claiming to have solved the scalability problem.

I wonder why those ancient greeks would think of the way Philosophy is taught today, which unfortunately is just learning to know and revere what renowned philosophers have written rather than thinking for yourself.
