Every part of that comment was true. They are rootkits with a non-hidden persona, they are not malicious unless it's worth being malicious. I don't give trash collectors access to my bank account so that they can better estimate t

In my opinion there are two approaches to the idea of a function Some use it as a method to separate code into independent, concise blocks that represent a singe step in a larger algorithm. Do one thing and do it well. The other is code reu

I like this a lot and I also use this. Comments as a narrative - you may quickly scan the function and read only 'headlines'-type of comments and if they are good, not too verbose, not too sparse, you have all the information need

Universe is tiny compared to mathematics and software, even simply RSA keys are already 2048bit. Lots of problems suffer from 'combinatorial explosion' [1]. I recently learned about the Archimedes's cattle problem, the soluti

This argument pops out in many societal issues, not only cheating on exams. Most people don't cheat and act in good faith but we make them suffer anyway because we will be damned if even one person cheats their way through the system,

On the other hand, 'you have right' translated literally to polish is 'masz prawo' which is exactly what 'you have right' means. I think 'masz racje' -> 'you have correct' -> 'you

So, if I understand correctly, it's just an evolution of the cryptocurrency itself? In the sense that instead of having a token you have an unique token? And going back to the currency analogy it just means you have a banknote with an

Comparing programming languages to maths doesn't really makes sense because they serve to express vastly different things. Programming languages need to unambiguously describe how to transform input data into output data. Maths languag

It doesn't have anything to do with a pi though. If you had a cube-shaped earth and the same rope, you would need 80ft of additional rope (instead of 62ft for a spherical planet).

What do you mean? (sorry, english is not my first language). The way I understand it is that if you have the law of excluded middle you cannot discard 'non-constructive' proofs as invalid since they follow straight from the axioms

by ithinkso 6y ago
Constructive mathematics rejects the law of excluded middle. In a non-constructive mathematics it is true that 'either A or not A is true' and that allows you to prove existence of objects with certain properties by disproving the

How do you get enough fuel to the asteroid to bring it back if even sending a 'measly' rover to Mars is a multi-year endeavor. Asteroids weight a lot more than a rocket and you need to change their velocity by the same amount

What a movie, I chose it randomly on an airplane, without ever hearing about it, and I think at the beginning I was thinking about switching to something else but I didn't and then I couldn't... took me by surprise how much I like

Don't use 'it is worse over there' as a counterargument against someone who fights (rightfully or not) for things to be better 'here'.

This touches on an interesting topic I've been thinking about for quite some time now. I have a somewhat reverse feeling about the definition of natural numbers (or for that matter, about the 'foundation of mathematics' as in

They might be, no doubt. I was mainly objecting (unrelated to the article) to the 'smallness' of the neighboring state and to the fact that if something could be considered an act of war doesn't mean it will be one. Bottomles

It's one of those theorems that still boggles my mind even though I know it for so many years now. Either complex functions are so much well behaved or complex differentiability is so much stronger condition, I can't decide which.

You would see effects of tidal forces in the scenario you described, I think. The other thing is, if it's not curved then you still need to explain Mercury's orbit precession (43 arcseconds per century is it?). This is not an easy

I understand what you are saying but you've asserted as truth that the author said what you said and in a pretty accusatory tone. If you use 'Imperial India' as standalone phrase it does refer to the British rule because it i

Imperialism does but not the adjective 'imperial' which simply implies relation to an empire. Imperial Japan has nothing to do with the British and yet it is 'imperial'.

This is first incompleteness theorem. What deepsun was referring to is second incompleteness theorem - in a consistent system F the statement 'F is consistent' is in fact unprovable (in F).
