Our CS1010 teacher in college used to test us on movies. I believe one year he had done inception. Other years he did transformers, Star Wars etc.

For me its a bit of a balancing act... You produce a project which is successful means you need to devote time to it. But to devote time to it you need to provide support, updates, etc. If your projects doesn't earn money or you are forced to work on something else it becomes difficult and then you whish people will not use it. Most troublesome are student projects who pm you.

Perhaps a good layman type explanation would be that nueral networks are essentially curve fitting on steroids. (Hopefully at some point people have done curve fitting in school and remember drawing lines of best fit). Therefore the term AI is essentially a misnomer. I would even go as far as to emphasize that nueral networks are boring mathematical equations which do not actually mimic the inner workings of our brains.

I just tried using Lazarus, I found it quite fun to use. I understand where the author is coming for when it comes to RAD. It is extremely easy to use. It feels like C# but compiles down to native code that runs on all platforms.

But the common person cannot. Also you are looking at the best universities of the country in Beijing and Shanghai. And as you stated, they still will prefer to communicate in their own tongue.

I lived in China for many years. Honestly, the government is very clever about how they censor. They don't do things so obviously and they allow a little bit of criticism. there is no hard and fast law as to how they censor. While I lived their they were constantly hopping between VPNs. Some of their censorship is political, some is a also protectionist. Had China not blocked google, Baidu would probably have been dead by now.

To start with this article is published in English. They know that 99% of their population will not be able to read it so its no big deal. I have seen articles in Shanghai daily which give minor criticism to the government. But overall they always try to project a good sentiment about the country. Furthermore often what is published in English print written by Chinese is not the same as what is written in Chinese print. Language is ultimately their greatest tool for censorship.

Also, 90% of the population remains unaffected by their blockages since they can't understand what the rest of the internet is saying. If you were to try to access youku (Chinese website akin to youtube) within china you would find that the streaming speeds put youtube to shame. So for the average person why would they be interested in youtube?

As long as the government provides people with basic infrastructure and safety people are willing to put up with some amount of censorship.

Its a pity because UWP is really a pleasure to work with. Its even faster to develop uwp apps than websites...

Fixing the language is one step. It will still not prevent hax0rs from targeting the bytecode of the VM itself.

I hate those business oriented hackathons where 90% is about the pitch. I tend to prefer ones where actual coding gets done.

I tried to understand what is going on in this paper. Am I right to say that it seems like they are looking at parallelizing subtasks within each domain and at each time taking advantage of unordered tasks if possible?

Out of curiosity what makes an CPLD different from an FPGA?

Among all the words listed, the only one which seems to be consistent across various language families is mother. All roots of mother seem to begin with "m" including in Chinese (母亲), English, Bengali. I believe South Indian languages are slightly different (correct me if I'm wrong). So perhaps this is a more modern word.
