You can Major in Computational Science AND Computer Science at my university. The difference? Computational Science is spercifically about scientific modeling and you have to have done upper level calculus/analysis.

This isn't from Logicomix. Bertrand Russell himself originally sketched out the problem in terms of books and index books. I forget which paper, but it is in the complete collected papers.

How was the word "app" used 1650-1700? http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=app%2C+applicatio... Maybe Jobs didn't invent it after all?!

That is the UN definition for "Absolute Poverty" which is different to the UN definition for Overall Poverty. But you are right in that I cited the US figures in place of the UN figures. But my original point remains. Consider this "In 2009

Have a conversation with yourself and 100's of usernames. Worked for me first time I made a forum in the late 90's Within a couple of weeks the site membership was exponentially increasing and out of control.

Only do as much as you feel good doing. Most people when they start out do too much or expect exercise to give a bad feeling, I know I did 2 years ago. Hell, I was even famous for hating exercise in a show called Nerds FC. But recently I ha

The title for this is misleading. Poverty is defined as the inability to access basic human needs such as food, water, healthcare, education, clothing and shelter. While the relative purchasing power of American's is strong if they go to an

If you have a major in philosophy try your hand at programming. After all, an undergraduate degree in philosophy usually comes with familiarity with a bunch of different logics and logical languages, you will have an advantage in understand

This is only reasonable, after all, philosophers at the beginning of the 20th century are responsible for theories about languages and logic that directly lead to the computer. If only those wanking on about "the semantic web" cared to look

I am a runner. I run 60 minutes to 120 minutes / day. I understand this. But at some point, you do have to click buttons in some divine ordered pattern, right? Or are you saying you don't even do this?

I actually think this is far more repetitive than a math whizz could handle, and might bore them if programming is presented this way to them. I think the suggestion earlier for Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs was a good o

If you follow from the definition of monad I gave above, why couldn't you just write a monad class in java? I must admit here, I don't know almost anything about what is being talked about. But you are using words I do understand in weird w

What is this post talking about? I don't know what you computer science folk are talking about, but a monad in philosophy in one sentence is: a simple object (meaning indivisible) that causally interacts with other objects by observing its

I don't get it. Won't doing any task with a certain complexity everyday for 8 weeks show a change in brain structure that is statistically significant compared to a control. That is my hypothesis. Now falsify me, please :-)

There are three "good" things in the world, Truth, Beauty and Kindness and all good things are done in the interests of these three things. Another idea that has helped me is: You can only do what you want, not want what you want.

I agree. In reality, I have 3 or 4 hours of enthusiastic game-on work time a day. That is ok. I honestly don't believe anyone that says they can keep up concentration for longer than this (unless debugging). Here I am only counting "doing"

Want to make it viable & non-commercial? I can think of a killer game architecture for a venture like this. Folks interested should email me djon0158@uni.sydney.edu.au Warning: it won't make you money, but it might just address social

"If other people aren't working on something at least similar to what you are doing it is very likely a dumb idea." I am sorry, but that is the worst piece of advice ever. Why bother with science if we can just appeal to the idea that what
