Keynesians want to encourage spending in order to keep wages high. That's because an increase in spending causes an increase in aggregate output. However, it's unlikely that the employee will benefit. In the first place, if the ma

I tried implementing a scheme like this once. What you do for efficiency is allocate some extra header space with the array size, and access it with negative pointer offsets. You pass to fat pointers if asked to take slices of the array. Th

I realized something like this a while ago; that Apple is catering to casual users and neglecting its upscale offerings, not pushing its desktop software business forward. The problem in the long run is that the loyalty of smartphone users

I see, so there's no point in addressing any part of the problem, that isn't the most important part.

I feel like a distinction needs to be made between soundness and precision. A sound type system never tells you something wrong while a precise type system tells you everything that needs to be said about a value. Gradual type systems are i

A quick research job has revealed that most of the interesting features of facebook, in particular "liking" posts and friend suggestion, are patented by facebook. It would be difficult therefore for a new entrant to copy its featu

With all due respect, that's crap. Blockchain means exactly what Satoshi Nakamoto defined it to mean in his seminal paper.

And then there's the problem that you can't hardly convince the maintainer that something is an issue unless they have the issue on their OS and configuration.

You can also consider that flight training (or any skill really) is not a situation where you can really top out the range. Cadets can always get better. When they do, the standards go up.

Correction, reading further I see that the linked paper describes using a gyroscopic sensor to dynamically vary the viewpoint as the user rotates the device, but it remains true that the conic apparatus can display an image to be viewed com

Something similar to this effect was demonstrated in a do-it-yourself project on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fggE3VI3NRg The device described in the paper seems to be superior to that shown at the link, because

By involution I meant that the author, is proposing a picture in which some people (congenitally or by nature) tell the exact opposite of the truth, aka lies, if you read the article closely. I was merely suggesting, that if someone was goi

I think the author has gone through a mistaken involution in his exposition of his own alleged involution, which means that his "Ghost Not" is, ironically, true and his proposed remedy a fallacy.

I followed out this logic, and concluded that all pages on a site have to be encrypted, because someone may try to navigate to the login page from any page on the site. If the attacker can intercept one page they can lead the user to their

They don't need tail calls, unless you're planning on doing idiomatic functional programming in an OO language, which, Why??

If you consider it, a convolutional neural network is applicable to any type of picture, including those that are not pictures of 3D scenes, such as seismic data. So, in order to handle pictures of 3D scenes well, you are going to have to t

For me the notion of domain is helpful in understanding OO. The definition of a domain is that everything inside it stands in determinate relations, whereas while multiple domains can interact they don't stand in determinate relations.

The author's basic premise is that high school debate, done well, can help remedy the problems with US politics. But you might notice that the author describes traits for high school debate (technicality, attention to detail) that are

Look how ineffectual the social critique in terms of consumption is. Being a consumer is surely not a bad thing; it's wonderful to have comforts. "Consumption" then is not a negative, but a formal dialetheia. There seems to b
