Is it possible to hack the microcode so that it can run ARM assembly natively?

Maybe you really can't measure 'grit' unless you put the student through several orthogonal tests and see how he does for the worst. e.g. to determine whether the monkey or the fish has more 'grit', ask the monkey

Why not use Screw Theory?

Quaternions are more efficient yes, but I would prefer the more general Screw theory.

They chose the lowest priced company because they didn't know how to spec the tender properly and to do a proper risk analysis. The lowest costs, of course, will win out in this case.

I was careful to put the Algebra after the Groups. :) Look up Matrix Exponentials and Logarithms, or just follow the link I gave above.

Yes, you are referring to SO(3) but SE(3) includes translations.

Skipping the formalism you can get directly into the practical aspects in this book. Modern Robotics by Lynch and Park Chapters 3 and 4 pre-preprint of book / more info available here http://hades.mech.northwestern.edu/

Please use Lie Groups/Algebra instead.

The real change will come when my handphone can repair itself. Screen cracked? no problem just throw some sand on it and the nanobots will do the rest.

I am just wondering about the countries which are NOT on that list.

if a dedicated civil engineer can pick up some law books and make it seem he was some high powered lawyer team, can a dedicated lawyer pick up some engineering books and build a bridge that can survive SF's 'Big One'?

How did they get in the first place? You mean they managed to cheat their GRE as well?

I'm glad that we share the same understanding. By any chance do you have any teaching background? As for myself I had 8 years of industry experience, followed by 4 years of teaching, then back to industry.

The programming assignments are a proxy to real life problems you will encounter. In real life often there are no answers to copy from. It is also not realistic to expect the instructors to provide a unique questions for everyone. A bad act

Seems like a wierd article trying to support octonions. I've graduated from quaternions using Lie Algebra/Groups (not that I understand them completely) but I find it much more general that it handles translations in a much better

there might even be something more beautiful that we have not discovered yet.

If you are interested in dystopian fiction of these sorts, I highly recommend Manna, by Marshal Brain. In any case, don't think it will be that dystopian. There is competition from elsewhere in the world, you know.

That's because the metrics keep changing.

1/0 = 0 is just plain lazy. So is 0^0 = 1. Now some might argue it is a matter of how you define the operators. What I say is that then separate them cleanly. e.g. pow(0,0) = 1 powr(0,0) = NaN

I went into a programming gig knowing next to nothing about PL/SQL, but was able to resolve one of their longstanding mystery bugs due to my experience in debugging in general. It came about having to defend my work that was written in

I don't think this is done for the sake of efficiency, but rather latency. For example, if you had a underwater data center that sat in the middle of the atlantic ocean in between new york and london, you could do some serious trading

yeah... some times you're given a dead dog and told, make it taste like grandma's chicken soup. Not many cooks would be willing to sign up for it, even less have the ability to pull it off.

Yes. The chaos part is where management fails to appreciate the time and resources to make things fault-tolerant. :)
