They are doing their best under a particular, self-imposed, restriction. To use as little human work as possible to solve the problem. What we are learning is that you need people in the process that can look at the situation and make decis

While most of these are very silly and fun, I have to admit that I do care about some of them. For example about the legitimacy of the "Nobel Prize in Economics" as a real Nobel Prize. In the end, the way history gets written is i

I'm not the author, just agree with the basic argument of the article, if maybe not every detail in it. The thing is just the incredible ease of use. The easy with which you can join a server and then drop into any text or voice chat y

I think the basic idea of make is brilliant and still very useful. Compare time stamps of files and if there is a file A that is newer than file B and that is needed to make file B, then make B again, with the provided command. The problem

As a computer science (Informatics) student, I shy away from any path in a prove that makes me make some kind of statement about primes. They are the death of every approach they are involved in, to me. From my one hour of thinking about th
