p.s. I found I had to use 'data.crossref.org' instead of 'dx.doi.org' when I scripted it (python + requests). Not sure why exactly (doi was redirecting to crossref anyway).

For interest, you can do something like this on the command line using curl. Try these: curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography" "http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022112061000019" curl -LH &quo

can you recommend something specific by Tannen?

perhaps because it is an issue that resonates with the demographic of hacker news?

Could you point to how to go about setting a suitable VM up on Debian? I could do with not bricking my machine :)

Can anyone give me an idea how much different this would be for 64bit? Do I just change the nasm directive to `bits 64`?

My counter hypothesis is that children can't possibly conceive the amount of information an adult has to keep track of day to day. What if we distinguish first language acquisition as a special process? If you don't acquire a lang

by aaren 13y ago
Wikipedia distinguishes between first and second language acquisition (FLA, SLA). FLA is done by children. SLA is done by children and adults. The critical period hypothesis is that SLA is age dependent and can only be done properly as a ch

On the other hand, children have little else to do but absorb new information and they take a good number of years doing it. Adults have a load of responsibilities that they have to occupy their minds with. Compared to the carefree oblivion

It depends what motivates you and where you want to be in 4 years. There are far easier ways to earn money in the long term than doing a PhD. A PhD gives you 4 years* of relative freedom to build yourself intellectually within some rough bo

I agree, a PhD doesn't mean anything in itself. I don't think that they are entirely worthless as a process though. In a PhD you potentially have vast intellectual freedom to learn what you want whilst earning a (small) income, ra

I like the acronym! I think HALT is also useful for introspection. Sometimes you are forced to function and make decisions in this state and you can learn a lot about yourself when this happens. You can do this through work but it is probab

It doesn't have to be used for matrix multiplication. Other libraries might overload it as something else.

by aaren 13y ago
It does away with the need for a separate matrix type. When you are using numpy (most imported non stdlib library according to the pep!) and you have two arrays a and b, a * b is elementwise multiplication. numpy currently has a matrix type
