that's totally ignoring what I said. I hope you feel smug about it. Edit: Interestingly, wiktionary says informations is just uncommon, and that information is not data, it's the meaning of data, in the computing context. ... with

The singular of data would be a 1 , to be pedantic. Edit: Information is uncountable, so maybe data should as well be. Is that plural or singular? Yes, you can have sand and a grain of sand, but the grain is hardly sandy. A lone 1 is har

The diagram on page 13 has linear interpolation plotted between the datapoints. That's one step away from fitting an arbitrary polynomial for the points. Don't do it, implying measurements between point releases isn't very se

Design is best when you don't notice it. Maybe that applies here. edit: I actually share the sentiment sometimes, but a couple of subtle changes can make a big difference overall. We are just looking at a small change and the example

The average doesn't matter, specific problems are reported on the mailinglists, for example. You wouldn't sway everyone's writing style with some statistical evidence, not in a giant ecosystem like C/unix and it's n

Optimally a compiler's version of a language is better defined simply by it's definitions. It's just problematic if the behavior is changed between versions, eg. for the sake of optimizations. It's also bad if undefined

Or maybe they don't see Drugs as a problem. I don't think e.g. Victorian aristocrats saw poverty as a problem or that the slave traders saw exhaustion or torture and other forms of violence as a problem, far from it. I believe sla

In actuality, text is a visual representation. Code is text, what he means is the abstract. Text mandates a layout that most have at least some experience, but because it's sequential it doesn't map as well to problems in more yet

Matlab has a package for symbolic computation. It sounds to me like the author would want some of that, although I didn't quite follow through the whole argument.

The way the term medium is used here really bothers me. For one, because I was taught that a medium is a oneway communication channel. Further more, because the plural media has an idiomatic meaning in English, that is the publishing indu
