I entered "x(i) = y(i) + z(i)" in the online demo, all three sparse, and I noticed some useless variable definitions: int32_t iz0 = z1_idx[pz1]; Is this intentional? (if so, why)

Just saw your talk. Man you are one hell of a speaker. Great slides, animations and presentation. I enjoyed it. It seems like a strange thing that no one thought of doing this before! Nice that you identified a cool problem and solved it :)

It's sad that perhaps the most plausible (of the discussed reasons so far in this thread) is being downvoted. I guess people believe what they want to believe. Anecdotally, I have felt (and sounded) a whole better ever since I stopped

This sounds like a terrible idea to me. - The original design stood for more than a decade because it is impossible to dislike. Tacking on more stuff to the homepage can only cause people to dislike it for one reason or another. - When I wa

This is a classic case of tragedy of the commons. I don't find anything particularly noteworthy about this to warrant communicating this to a larger audience. Unilaterally spamming potential employers in this way may result in improvin

Thank you for your explanation (also, others below as well). If I had more time I would try and learn about each of these security exploits because I find it fascinating.

Can someone provide a simple (but not overly so) explanation of how the current generation of ransomware operate i.e., A) spread and B) lock up the computer? Does it always require human intervention for A. ? Thank you.

Nothing is preventing you from using computers cleverly to gain a better understanding of mathematical problems you are facing. But abandoning or discounting the importance of rigor is down right stupid. The great achievement of mathematics

Birds of a feather flock together. The truth of this old adage never hit me until my late twenties by which time I had changed places and jobs a few times. Growing up with an ill defined idea of who a friend was, I imagined I would have fri

By far the most interesting game in this genre (somewhat broadly interpreted) is Robozzle. Some of the puzzles made by contributors there are just pure genius.

It really sucks that this game doesn't have the ability to make custom levels. I thought this game was really cute and well made.

Since I made this comment, I also had the chance to listen to his lecture in full. I couldn't agree more with him. What I wrote here was based on my understanding of what he meant by "doing mathematics", which as other commen

Thank you for the perspective. The reason I find this incredible is also that this statistic does not include seasonal workers, so I made the inference that they chose this job out of lack of alternatives. Also, what did you major in?

Is it not stunning that in a highly industrialized nation like the US there are so many people whose main option for a job is to work in a warehouse. That there is a large swath of the population who are unable to educate themselves out of

It sounds like you're not being sarcastic. So let me say that when you're working on something that almost surely has zero practical impact over the course of your lifetime, and the only possible benefit to society is the advancem

I have learned a foreign language as an adult (french) to some degree of fluency after 3 years but it's a lot of hard work and not something I would take on lightly on top of other all the other things I need to focus on as an adult. A

Looking back over the arc of my PhD I notice a similar parallel to how you feel so let me elaborate. In the first year I thought I was the shit and went around feeling like I knew it all. By the end of the second year, tempered by the almos

Scientists actually spending more of their time reading others' work, communicating encouragingly and giving constructive criticism (anyone in academia has read more than a few hate filled reviews of their work), better pay (a postdoc

There is a huge difference between the pursuit of new mathematics and the appreciation and understanding of existing work. I think OP is talking about the former and it certainly isn't for everyone, at least not the way it is currently

As a counterpoint to the overly exuberant article let me chime in as a graduating theoretical computer scientist. Math is hard and despite its beauty and allure academic life doesn't take place in a vacuum- ergo there's a lot of p

On a certain level I agree with the fluidity of the labor market and companies may eventually successfully grow their companies in Europe for example as you suggest, in the face of increasing visa hurdles and anti-immmigrant rhetoric from T

As someone who's thinking of moving to the United States it's interesting to me how this will play out. On the one hand I can imagine that some companies are misusing the H1B quotas to hire not-particularly-skilled workers willing

Have good memories of playing this game in two player mode with my cousin. Remarkably well designed for two players (you actually need to cooperate to solve the levels, no split screens or difficulty sharing the keyboard) and lots of fun. G

Oops, I made a similar comment before seeing yours. Glad to find someone else peeved enough about it to point it out. It's such a small thing but I don't understand why it has become more or less acceptable here to just blurt some

The latency numbers shown in the post are directly taken from a well known source (see for example https://gist.github.com/jboner/2841832 ). Why the lack of acknowledgement though? As a related rant, let me point out th

Adding to what you say, OP might have meant the use of LP solvers in branch and bound type algorithms to solve hard problems after recasting them as integer programs.

I also like the moral predecessor of this algorithm (Morris counting algo I think it's called) which solves the simpler problem of estimating the number of elements in a stream with loglog space. Curiously it appears as an exercise in
