microtheo··on Tesla Roadster
I mean what's interesting is handling, behavior in curves, power consistency, steering accuracy. Weight could be a drawback. Acceleration isn't the only metrics. Those are some reasons Porsche is considered to be making good cars.

Those acceleration figures are meaningless. The Chiron isn't the best car on a circuit for example. I would be interested to see this car compete against say a gt3 on a track like Nürburgring :)
microtheo··on Enabling Matlab in Jupyter Notebooks on Linux
I need an extension to replace all those unnecessary '$' with the better suited 's'. But seriously, why would one use Jupyter Notebooks with matlabe when you can use python :D
microtheo··on Firefox 57.0 Released
Yes, it is even better if you have a precision touchpad and you disable smooth scrolling. Whole new world of reactivity! It is almost as smooth as edge!
microtheo··on Remotely tunneling to a server using an iPad Pro for programming
Hey, brace yourself, we have 3g coverage in all tunnels in Switzerland!
microtheo··on MS Paint is here to stay
You totally can. This is a misconception. And it has been that way for a long time now. Everything that is free can be downloaded without account.
microtheo··on Ubuntu now available from the Windows store
Yeah, it's a bit confusing. That's the reason why it won't be available on Windows 10 S...
microtheo··on Ubuntu now available from the Windows store
No, everything that is free can be downloaded without account. It's actually the only platform I'm familiar with (android, iOS, MacOS) that allow users to do so. Really convenient for computers that we install at costumer site.
microtheo··on New Macbook Pro power efficiency and time remaining
Everybody always talks about thinness... I would argue that all they want is reduce the cost of the components. The smaller the battery for the same battery life, the cheaper it will be to produce. Everything is about rentability.
microtheo··on The World’s Most Innovative Economies
I think this is a bias because we only read American media and are flooded by American influence. Countries like Sweden, Switzerland have innovative universities highly ranked. A huge density of startups close to them. High technologies and services available to citizens (for example bank system, rail system, fiber to the home...). And of course a social and retirement system that gives the whole population a really high power of consumption. They are small countries that are easier to manage. But they definitely deserve their rank in my own humble opinion.
microtheo··on Comparing the CPU of the iPad Pro 9.7 to My MacBook, Surface and 6S
And 0.124 s with sqrt(n) and -Os & 0.02 s by interrupting the for... Let's go further than 100000 :)

664579 primes between 0 and 10000000 Time taken = 11.319

microtheo··on Comparing the CPU of the iPad Pro 9.7 to My MacBook, Surface and 6S
For what it's worth, my i5 surface pro 4 executed this little program in 20.891 s (complied with mingw64-gcc) i.e. 0.9x

Pleased to see that it is twice as powerful as the i3 surface pro 3 :)

microtheo··on Why do so many people hate US airports?
Honestly, I've traveled quiet a lot the last year in Japan, China, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, USA, Sweden, London... The american airports are not always pleasant (this is especially due to over arrogant security personnel). But they are at least efficient. My worst experience in term of waiting lines (mainly at the boarder) was Montreal, Tokyo and Beijing...
microtheo··on SnapJet: A portable, open source Polaroid printer for smartphones
I love it, it is so retro and simple! I hope they will deliver an app for Windows phone as well! I just wonder how they can align the display on the device (if you have some less famous android phone) and how they can detect how much light exposes the film!
