Does anyone know how small the books were? There's nothing in the picture to give a sense of scale.

For classes that I needed/wanted to take which had prereqs I tried to show up on the first day of class and get an override signed by the teacher at the end of class. It usually worked. For example in a low-level music theory class I s

Hopefully there will be enough details on how they accomplish this when they release their paper.

You can click on the bell at the end. Besides letting passengers on and off was there anything else along the way that was interactive like that?

This is a good mostly simple overview. The appendix should also mention robin hood hashing as a method for addressing collisions. From my understanding it is cpu cache friendly and works well in practice.

I don't think even the majority of agree that enforcing patents is wholly bad. It's a bit more nuanced than that. Some of my personal problems with patent enforcement of the top of my head: (1) it often isn't encouraging crea

Seems to work pretty well. I like this approach over things like GWT. Though creating a syntax error caused a bad exception: public class JavaFiddle { public static void main(String[] args) { x = 0; } }

Looking at that link I don't think it was implemented. The footers on stack overflow pages still indicate cc-by-sa.

Agreed. I once tried to submit a small snippet I found on stackoverflow to an open source project. Stackoverflow user content is licensed under creative commons, cc-by-sa (see https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/06/25&

Sketching out ideas and preliminary diagrams is very different from programming on a whiteboard. If a whiteboard interview were talking at a higher level about the problems at hand then I don't think it'd be such a problem. Howeve

I have never heard emulation of a physical instrument that matched the real thing. For instance movie studios hire musicians to fill in full orchestras for that reason. If they could get the same result without the musician I'm sure th

The most politically feasible solutions to help I can think of are education and better school lunch policies. I'd think the food lobbies would love if we provided free lunch to our students (other political factions maybe not so much)

Very much agreed. We lived in a poorer neighborhood a few years back and my child's kindergarten had free breakfast for all (through title 1 funding). I think it did a lot of good.

Definitely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_curve . I'd still expect the final result to look worse than jpeg, but it'd be a much more interesting comparison.

I'd argue that even the 'free' upgrade is not free. For example a windows 8 install which used the free windows 10 upgrade will require purchasing a full license to make any significant hardware changes. I'm liking lots

I totally agree. Is there a more general solution beside pages deciding to behave? Would making some select list of key combinations not overridable help? Or would that break too many pages?

I'd be okay with that result (bash : zsh :: vim : neovim). Whatever the result I think vi(m) users are winning in the end. One side benefit of neovim existing is a push for vim to get similar feature and step up their development effor
