Have you read the article? One of his arguments is that math, due to its interface, is not about ideas but about abstract symbols and "symbol-pushing tricks". For example many people know how to use the chain rule when they derive a functi

Not that I'd recommend it, but it would be possible using Pyjamas, which compiles Python to JavaScript code.

Thinkpads. They might not look as nice, but they are very robust. I have already dropped mine from the table and flooded the keyboard with an entire glass of diet soda. If I am out working with other people I always smile when people start

I am using Linux right now. I realize that the process of intercepting keystrokes is really OS specific. On windows you need to use hooks, on linux you need to deal with x. Anyhow, thanks for the link. Since it is open source, I will look i

> Do you choose to use software instead of employing a person because you prefer the software I think in the long run the software will do a much better job than a person. It's inevitable in my opinion. We are not even a century into c

If you have a look at the military expenditure database you will see that Germany has the 7th largest military spendings in the world. Almost the same amount as Russia. I think that the German defense needs are covered enough even without t

I really, really like this approach. It beats the whiteboard quiz in every aspect. It is not only a far more pleasant experience for the interviewee, but it also represents the candidates real world programming skills more accurately.

I strongly disagree. I got the biography for christmas this year and finished it in two days. Having never owned a piece of apple hardware due to its closed nature and being an open source supporter myself, I was quite surprised by the joy

I think this is an irrational fear. I don't think that leeching lies in human nature. People naturally want to take part in society as long as they are healthy. Just think about what you would do if you wouldn't have to work. Would you stay
