There's also Snakemake, which is mostly used in bioinformatics pipelines, but it's sort of like a Makefile program with inline python enabled.

It's nice and I could imagine it getting some adoption because of its flexibility, but my C++ projects tend to have their needs met with Makefile.

Thanks! I've written code for discrete GPUs but not integrated, and so I'm unsure what the advantages would be. Would there be lower latency for transfers, then, if not higher throughput?

Would the GPU have its own RAM or simply share address space with a CPU?

Correct. It's the corruption that has his critics seeing blood in the water. Visiting your affair's home during work hours while funneling money into her business and taking her on trips she has no reason to be on to boost her career is what's the problem, not the affair.

The fact that the affair has been admitted matters only because it bolsters corruption allegations.

Please don't use code blocks for quotations. It ruins display/readability on mobile.

His creepy, shirtless "get on my mattress" calls to female undergrads at MIT register as more than being awkward or autistic. That alone should be unacceptable behavior for faculty.

Jury of peers is for criminal prosecution, not job performance assessment, which is closer to civil cases, in which preponderance of the evidence is the standard.

Off-topic: Reminds me of "Half a mil in twenties like a billion where I'm from."

On-topic: that's misleading; once you pay fixed costs, you have a lot more latitude for discretionary income. Not everything is the same ratio more expensive in the Bay Area.

Because I'm not a dictator.

I can only make changes by being politically active and making environmentally sound decisions myself/encouraging others. I do these things, but don't have the power to force systemic change.

I know plenty of straight couples who are married or in committed long term relationships and met on tinder.

NVIDIA's emphasis on modern C++ was very smart as well. Compare writing CUDA to OpenCL. I have hopes for ROC.
