   Very nice. I wish, I had a better question: What is the software used to produce the "flow charts"?

   This is awesome, I'm having a lot of fun reactivating my assembler knowledge. Also, I want to compliment you on the interface, my laptop broke yesterday and I'm doing this on a borrowed Acer A500 tablet without any serious problem

   The axiom of choice is called an axiom for a reason. [...] thinking it's absurd doesn't indicate any problems with your intuition. Thanks, that is exactly what I needed to read :) You might want to reflect on

   Thanks! Yes, I have seen Banach-Tarski before, here and elsewhere. My confusion was mostly due to not thoroughly remembering what an axiom is... I expected there to be some kind of proof, like an example of a series of non-empty sets that

   > Without the axiom of choice, the product of infinitely many non-empty sets could be empty. This sounds like a stupid question, but I can't really figure it out: How could it be empty, given your above formula? (Math level: Enginee

   Heads up: In section "A polynomial of degree n is the sum of n+1 periodic functions" it says 'cdots' in two formulas. (Probably a backslash missing in the TeX(?) source.)

   It's plain, I'll give you that. And it gives you an idea. But it's not an explanation as I think it already lost meaning. The explanation is closer to o(n^2) (small o) or maybe Theta(n^2) but still lost the important aspect o

   Hm, it doesn't claim it's one language. And it has indeed C code and C++ code...

    Ha, as a long long time vim user, it didn't even occur to me that people meant "how to exit vim". I honestly thought there are people out there, trying to quit their vim-addiction :)

    I don't like your comment. You use the same words to directly counter the parent, but these words don't match the case. What do you mean by "viable option" here? Some "options" for non-technical users are in th

    Right, that makes more sense, could have guessed that tick() shouldn't be const :) (You missed one more detail though: In the implementation of yl_task_get_result_string, it should be AS_CTYPE now.) Another question, different topic, a

    Great read! I have a question to section "Exporting a C API": All methods in class Task are marked const. Yet only yl_task_is_pending in the C API takes a pointer to const. Is there a reason for that?
