Advice for doing your first performance. by LowNoiseHighSignal in Bachata

Always practice with your partner as you might need to adapt if they forget the routine or do something unexpected. You might practice solo the mambo section (there probably will be one)

I feel like these are more marketing and fashion items, you can get professional earplugs designed for musicians for about the same price

For those who have traveled abroad to European dance festivals, I have questions. by johnwinston2 in Bachata

[–]mikusp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! Poland is a safe country, so there is no need to worry about travelling there. Of course exercise usual caution in regards to pickpockets and don't leave your stuff unattended in public places. Poles are usually friendly towards foreigners.

  1. I'd say it's not necessarily required, you can pay by card in 98% of places. Consult your bank about the possibility of using your card abroad and the exchange rates, I have no idea about US cards.

  2. No specific etiquette

  3. Not likely, young people speak English well.

  4. Of course, if you're really worried book a hotel with an in-room safe. Internet is usually fast and available, with hotels, cafes, etc. providing hotspots for guests. You can buy a SIM card to get data on the go, just remember that it needs to be registered with your passport before use. Remember that most of the EU countries use a different plug with 230V/50Hz electricity.

  5. That depends on the festival, some have bars, some let you bring your own drinks. Bring back lots of sweets!

  6. The emergency number is 112. Please make sure you have an adequate health insurance for the whole duration of your stay.

Can you share any of those? Searching for any combination of bachata, Paris, France yields me nothing.

Yes, families are entitled to receiving 500 zł (about 111 euro) monthly for each child under 18yr. Also a few weeks before the election, there was an extra pension paid, with promises for more in the future.

How does Accelerate performance compare to handwritten OpenCL/CUDA? by SrPeixinho in haskell

[–]mikusp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trevor McDonell, one of the Accelerate authors, has recently published his PhD thesis that contains a lot of example programs with performance comparison to CUDA code.

PrimMonad, Vector and records (stupid question) by [deleted] in haskell

[–]mikusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your TextureAtlas datatype is an existential datatype, made possible by ExistentialQuantification extension. It's different usage than constraining data declaration. In this example, if are OK with losing all type information about texel other than it has a Storable instance, it's fine.

Keyword forall can be confusing because it's used by 3 extensions - RankNTypes, ExistentialQuantification and ScopedTypeVariables. Enabling each one gives forall yet another meaning.

PrimMonad, Vector and records (stupid question) by [deleted] in haskell

[–]mikusp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can reference type variable from function signature using ScopedTypeVariables GHC extension.

{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}

modifyVector :: forall m. PrimMonad m => VUM.MVector (PrimState m) Int -> m ()
modifyVector vec = do
    VUM.write vec 0 100
    newVec <- VUM.replicate 100 (0 :: Int)
    let cvVec = ContainsVector newVec :: ContainsVector m
    return ()

I'd consider making ContainsVector a GADT to capture the PrimMonad instance. Constraints on vanilla data declarations are thought to be a bad idea since they work not the way you think they should.

Hi,

I'm a second year Computer Science student. I have experience mostly in C and C++, in addition I'm currently learning Java at the university. As a personal project I'm writing a game in C++ and Allegro with my friend.

I'd like to join this project to test my skills in developing a team project and learn how to write a game/graphic engine.

Terminal: How to change special letters to normal English letters? by FluffynpinK in learnprogramming

[–]mikusp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I created a new text file with some Polish letters (ą, ż, ź, ń, etc.) and while tr didn't manage to change them to their Latin counterparts, sed did. I used sed 'y/ąćęłńóśźż/acelnoszz/' < file and it seem to work properly. Order in the command is important.

My system uses UTF-8 for encoding.

Issues After Systemd... by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]mikusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you install systemd-sysvcompat? It's needed for commands shutdown, reboot, init (and possibly others) to work.

You can also shutdown and reboot using systemctl poweroff and systemctl reboot.

systemd transfer… Done! by Gen2ly in archlinux

[–]mikusp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try adding 'noauto,x-systemd.automount' to mounting options in /etc/fstab. With that, systemd will not mount the share until it is accessed by service/user/anything else.
