According to the Mathematica help:
Round rounds numbers of the form x.5 toward the nearest even integer.
For example:
Round[{0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5}]
gives
{0, 2, 2, 4, 4}
What's the rationale behind this? Why not the usual x.5 always rounds up?
ahh carp, some russian person snagged my raid card at the last minute. Now other than being (possibly) scammed, i would also have to research the 18,000 pages of facts on distribution of technology to foreign nations , especially certian ones known to have such restrictions.
No problem so i cancel the sale . . . and the whole thing is held up for 10+ days.
It is a bit late into this new year, being that we're already in the second month, but we are now cycling the Community Promotion Ads for 2017!
What are Community Promotion Ads?
Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar....
I have a friend that is always putting his car in neutral and revving it up and I find that the coolest thing in the world. If someone could tell me how I can put my 2006 Civic in neutral while in motion that would be amazing.
'The LG Ultrafine 5K monitor costs almost £900 and is promoted as an external display for Mac devices.
But customers noticed the display flickered or switched off when near a wi-fi router and some posted negative reviews on Apple's website.'
> The 30-second commercial was shown on BBC Two, during last month’s coverage of Wimbledon. The advertisement urged viewers to “log on now and get your tickets today” for the ATP World Tour finals, a tennis tournament that will be held at the O2 Arena in November, and also contained numerous references to Barclays.
Also Dell's useless tracking system still has zero information about my laptop, although I've had a delivery window notification email now so I know at least it exists
just not sure that is how you do it. To keep people from messing up my ebay auctions , i now have a warning at the top that says thieves scammers and frauds, and people who's mothers wouldn't love them, not allowed to bid on this auction. Nobody bid.
@noitsbecky Quite common with Dell, I got notification of my system being "on route" and going to take 5 days, only got valid tracking information the day before it arrived.
The problem is , there is little resolution to a bad buyer anymore, sellers cannot give negative feedback, and scammers can ding your feedback after they scam you. So the users have identified them, but they cant tell anyone. It is like being at the department store with a criminal in the return aisle, holding up the whole show , with no reciept claiming they bought what they stole. All the department store has to do is announce over the PA , that another criminal is at thier return desk, and watch half the store clear out.
and have you ever been there at the return desk, standing behind, wondering Who would buy that , then return it? why does the person have 15-20 of them? nobody buys a whole cartload of stuff they dont even know if they will like. They buy 1 and try it. But there they are arguing and up to yelling at the counter people. They should be tarred and feathered and run out of town.
but the department store does not want to upset anyone. it is easier for YOU to pay for thier losses.
@noitsbecky you can do that in the US also , unless they have a sign, and notice. which your likely to see before buying. Very few stores use that method.
In my case there was a BIOS setting you had to enable, two actually. Set "SATA mode" to "RAID" and enable "Intel RST Option ROM" who would then load immediately before (or after, dunno) POSTing. It would detect the cache disk, but as "disabled". Then you had to install Intel RST drivers and app on Windows, and use the app to mark the cache as active and associated to the current HDD. Then the ROM tool would detect it as active.
Made quite a difference on boot speed. A significant difference. And hybrid sleep was a few seconds.
@djsmiley2k does it work for used cars , or used cars specificlly sold AS-Is? In the US generally all used cars are buyer beware.
unless specifically stated, it is assumed, and even the courts assume (when you get ripped off) that a "used" car is as-is. it doenst even need to be on the paperwork, unless specific seller claims are made that it is not as-is.
@djsmiley2k thats different. here if you roll off a dealer lot even with used car, the transmission flies off while going down the road and your whole family is killed, they just refer you back to the paperwork, where they have absolved themsevles of everything. . . while forcing down your throat a warrenty that isnt worth the paper it is written on.
they will say or even charge you for a 128 point inspection, that you can be assured nobody ever did :-)
@allquixotic Do you mean, "there is no Cavil right now at the present moment", or did you mean "there has not ever been any Cavil and there won't ever be one again, not that it ever did"?
I have Fedora 24 installed and it uses packagekitd to install updates when I shutdown the system.
It usually goes fine, but I left it running after work last Friday. When I came back today it was stuck at 97%, I performed a forced shutdown.

First, obtain a list of your packages, sorted by install/update, with date included:
rpm -qa --last

Then you reinstall each module with
dnf reinstall <package>
Or, combine it all:
dnf reinstall $(rpm -qa --last | grep "<localized date>" | cut -d " " -f 1)

> Churrasquinho de gato (literally translated as “cat barbecue”), Brazil’s popular meat skewers, in Pontes e Lacerda in 2015. Carolina Arantes / The Story Institute
> Leaving the Palmeiras stadium on Saturday, there were a number of what are called "churraquinhos de gato" or cat barbecues. These are run by street vendors who bring in a barrel or a small charcoal grill and barbecue up some questionable meat on spits and sell them for less than US$2
To be honest, it's supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek nickname. Supposedly.
> The other big area famous for cat meat is, supposedly, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Now, we aren't saying that this place serves cat in five-star restaurants - far from it. Street meat is commonly accused of being cat meat. There have been busts on Brazilian slaughterhouses selling cat and dog meat.
We have reason to believe that the name "cat meat skewers" has some basis in fact, here. Nobody likes the concept, even in Brazil, so please don't jump to conclusions. Just sayin', if your barbeque tastes a little off...
> I was offered this at a children's birthday party, and I didn't quite hear what it was until it was already in my mouth. I just about choked. Because, well, it is a foreign country and they just might be serving cat... who knew? Turns out - wasn't.
LOLFLAGGED AS OFFENSIVE!
Brazilian "food truck".
Although in the latest years it's become really trendy to build expensive food trucks with expensive "gourmetized" food:
So you have, at one hand, cheap unsanitary old cars with cheap unsaniraty food
(I'm leaving the "unsaniraty" typo, btw)
And on the other hand, people who pay restaurant prices to eat in fancy food truck fairs.
also, the AP may have stopped broadcasting its SSID
in which case you can try to force it to join a "hidden network"
if it is indeed a hidden network, most GUI based wifi clients will make it extremely difficult to impossible to know whether your problem is related to authentication (bad password) or protocol issues
@BenN :D I do that still with languages that I don't know well enough to have associative arrays / maps or other sophisticated data structures, class / struct encapsulation of data, etc
@BenN yeah thats what i'm doing on this old site, i was just wondering to myself if there was a logical and sane reason they had used this nested snakey code
@QuicoLlinaresLlorens as I mentioned, if you dig deeper than "it doesn't work", you might be able to figure out why... you would benefit greatly from using a wireless debugging tool on your phone and/or laptop to get more information about the network... what band is it on? what authentication scheme? what 802.11 standards does it support? is it a hidden network? etc
there's a decent chance that it's just flaky firmware on the AP's end and only a restart of the AP will fix it; but that's far from guaranteed and I wouldn't just assume it
@allquixotic Oh hey, new Pascal cards that are intentionally 5-10% slower and 50-200% more expensive than their identical consumer counterparts are out (source)
I kinda wanna write a tool based on LXD that automatically grabs all the dependent shared libraries for a given Linux binary from a "known working" distro (ideally, the distro it was compiled on) and puts them in the same dir as the binary so that users can do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./myReallyVersionDependentBinary
mainly because it's easier to write the tool than to compile PhantomJS (once, on any platform), and I'm sick of these clueless idiots emailing phantomjs user group begging and crying for binaries for CentOS from 2003
Looks like they basically uncrippled the FP64 of the Titan X, shoved some HBM2 onto it, and sold it as a Quadro. It's got FP64 at 1/2 of FP32 instead of 1/32 FP32 as on the Titan
> The Quadro GP100 has four DisplayPort 1.4 slots and one DVI slot. It will be shown for the first time at the SolidWorks World 2017 in Las Vegas, which starts on Sunday. The GPU will ship worldwide, but pricing was not immediately available.
I'd be fracking hilarious to see what performance you'd get putting the GP100 into "GeForce Mode"...
I don't think there are any other chips out there with both HBM2 and GDDR5X versions to do a direct comparison with
