I don't think so. For me the real test is whether or not someone is giving me a monetary incentive. The very act of having to pay someone to say something increases the probability of it being a lie

It's not a bug, it's a feature. All students know that any line goes through two big enough points. I was expecting something related to "exact predicates", like for example: Efficient Exact Geometric Predicates for Dela

I think the key to array programming success was due to the possibility of having fast interpreted languages for numerical computing. I'm very used to programming in array languages (Matlab, Python, Julia and even Mathematica has lot o
