This is a terrible idea. if you don't want to read this article just move on and ignore it instead of ranting about it here.

Terry Gilliam is not quite dead yet.

When we moved to the UK from the USA back in the nineties I remember my dad waking up late for work because he plugged his alarm clock into a voltage converter that did not also change the frequency. Do those even exist for consumers? Fun times...

Visual Studio has to be the best debugger for python when you maintain a large code base of C/Fortan that you call from CPython with tons of callback functions, as we do in my group at a âoesmallâ aerospace company based in a Chicago.

NumPy is built on the BLAS/LAPACK and is way more useful for doing true numerical work. You should check out William Kahan's website for a good critique on why Java is completely unacceptable for numerical code. https://people.eecs.berkeley.e...

I have a 2014 Subaru Forester with EyeSight (their adaptive (stereoscopic based) cruise control with lane departure warning system). The adaptive cruise control is amazing. I like using it in traffic on I-5 in Seattle (I said Subaru, didn't I?) and it works really well at dealing with people cutting in/stopped cars in front of me. My one complaint is when you come to a complete stop it times out and disables the system. You now have a vehicle that is idling in drive. There is an audible beep to warn you that the system is turning off, but I think I would prefer the ability to control the time out period to something more than 5 seconds.

I'm taking a course on the Standard model, the Higgs mechanism isn't exactly rocket science. At least not at undergrad level, like you said.

Moron. They need to form scientists and engineers as much as the next guy.

You don't want to rely on their missiles when the French might give your enemy the tools to render them useless.

This may be true for companies stuck using some particular application, but hopefully desktop applications will continue to improve through competition: when one browser gets too slow, people start switching.
Probably not be true for your average IE/MSOffice user though.

One can always hope

Side lobes? Must be a Ferengi thing...

-1 here too. I'm thinking of moving to 2, and also giving "Funny" a negative modifier. The SNR is too damn low.
