cpp, cuda
One of the more obscure, yet immensely useful features
of C++ are member pointers. Member pointers can be used
as parameters to specify on which member of an object a
funtion should operate. Theoretically they can be used
with CUDA code, but there are a couple of issues in
NVCC and it's not obvious how to work around these.

mail
Anyone who's on high-volume mailing lists knows this
problem: some threads are irrelevant for you, but grow
by tens or hundreds of mails each day. Incrementally

just any mailing list, but to an experimental lottery: each day one
subscriber is given the chance to broadcast his ideas to all
recipients. So now was my turn.

supercomputing, mpi
The Message Passing Interface, or MPI
(not to be confused with the Max Planck Institutes), is in
the peculiar situation of being one of the most widely used
technologies in HPC and supercomputing, despite being
declared dead since decades. Lately however, my nose is
picking up some smells which are troubling me. And others.

48003. That's the number. Although I might be wrong, as
I've just counted those users who have a couple of
