It's a simulation showing how 1% FP error doesn't have much effect on the result. They look almost the same...that's the point.
If you don't know what the arrows represent then you maybe don't understand what tomography is after all.
You should understand the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
Not legal, just "officially unenforced".
It's undefined in the spec. So GCC and clang are both correct.
I have a hard and interesting job. I do navigation & autonomous control systems for large mining vehicles. A couple of notes...
1. You want to do R&D. Developing new things is fun; maintaining existing things is boring. However, "getting in" to R&D positions is difficult without #2:
2. Domain knowledge. We almost never hire based on programming skill alone. Programming is a prerequisite, but specific expertise (guidance, navigation & control systems in my case) is the real value you need to bring. Graduate degrees are one way (but not the only way) to move in this direction.
It's not research they lack, it's motion
Premature much? Apple was dead once too.
Usually if I input an address into Google maps, it places a marker somewhere near the actual address. If I use street view it seems to point me in a random direction and usually not toward the address I wanted. I think this is aimed at that.
In a public corporation, this is always true. The first responsibility is to the shareholders. This point seems to be frequently overlooked.
Search for colocation in your area, then call and ask. I'm paying around $70/month for a 1U server with a fixed amount of bandwidth. Reliability and support (aside from network issues) are up to you.
GRPN is an embarrassment depending on whom you ask. The founders know exactly what they're doing -- they cashed out long ago.
...Read the HTTP headers? I think you answered your own question.
The plane containing all the propeller blades goes through the operator. It's cool, but I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
In Russia there is (or at least, was) mass pirating of Windows -- maybe MS turned off the updates.
I've been seeing it as well, but have never spent any time digging to find out why.
"opposed".
Normally I wouldn't correct you, but this being the grammar nazi thread and all...
The same could be said of Google's search engine itself: an autogenerated web site consisting of essentially nothing other than links to other places, many of them paid. But no one can deny that it's a
useful site.
I think that is the issue here -- probably the vast majority of such sites are undesirable, but you can't discount them all.
Facebook disconnect is a worthwhile extension if you're using Chrome. There is a FF equivalent as well.
Why not email? What's with the Twitter obsession?
The cost is very low through services like Mechanical Turk. Typically you'd ask them to complete a survey on usability of your site -- you get some useful feedback from them, and sometimes they return as users themselves.
Maybe I should replace the word "marketing" with "promotion".

from the ask-hn dept.
I'm on the lookout for a SEO/promoter interested in a revenue-share agreement. I have approached a couple with this idea but most seem to think I'll disappear once the results start coming or that they could build a site themselves. On my end, knowing who is worth the time in the first place is a challenge.The site is a non-trivial application in the travel industry and is well-liked by...
