Correctly describing electromagnetics involves invoking vector calculus, which is a tall order for 10 year old children even in education systems more rigorous than America's.

Quake 2 is so old that it had a software renderer as well as support for 3d graphics cards. So they might just run everything in software on the user's CPU?

Couldn't you make a Clojure macro that would let you type arithmetic expressions in infix? Not having Fortress-type support for math in a language is bad enough, but having to type everything prefix is really a PITA when you're just trying

One thing that's interesting is to track where these child prodigy/overachiever types wind up later in life. Some of them can't be found in a Google search, which probably means they didn't start any companies, publish any papers, or anythi

To a certain extent this seems like ignorant webcock bullshit. In many fields, in most cases, there actually is one answer, especially at the K-12 levels that much of education is directed toward. 2+2 = 4. There is nothing to collaborate on
