Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus by Ross IMHO very easy, introductory book on proofs and basic analysis. It's not a novel, you will need some effort to think through exercises. Getting through this book is like unlocking GODMODE

My analysis professor used to say, if you state that some part of the proof is trivial then it should be easy to just write it out. And when you have a hard time writing it out or it takes too long, perhaps it's not trivial after all.

Perhaps Google as well as anyone else, including my self, feel that they can spend 2B in a better way than the government would. For example, lobbying for more open internet.

It's kind of like debugging two programs at the same time. On one hand there is wine, wine configs, winetricks, loading directX, etc. On the other hand it's the game you're trying to run. For example, it turns out StarCraft II needs an upda

Maybe it's due to 4chan's huge community size that fools are not a problem as they seem in smaller communities. Additionally, there is a whole slew of tools to identify (and punish) fools such as karma, comment voting, etc which perhaps wer

I shutdown my MacBook Pro about once a month (mostly for OS updates). Simply closing the screen puts the laptop into sleep and opening flawlessly brings up the OS multiple times per day. Perhaps MS is aiming for a similar os/hardware symbio

If it's the same "carrier" who put crap-load of useless, buggy malware with every android phone they sell, then who cares what they say. They clearly have no clue what is even "good enough" to weight in an opinion about Nokia.
