I feel like I'm more curious now (young adult) than when I was a child. This might just be biased or selective memory though. I have felt myself become more curious when interacting with some “infectiously” curious individuals. In retr

This seems like an interesting approach. The article makes no mentions of whether this site aims to implement wiki-like editing? If not this is really a -pedia, not a play on word on Wikipedia.

Maybe that's what “weird science” means?

If you agree that there are hidden mechanisms that shape the inequality, then claiming that “only considering the factors that effectively prevent studying” is fair would require a great deal of certainty in knowing these factors. I don&#x2

What do you mean by pigeon holing here? I don't understand what are the variables and what is the value space. (No disrespect, just trying to understand.)

Yes. After checking Wikipedia I was referring to the edge flipping operation which is described in the “flip algorithms” section. So there's also a divide and conquer algorithm in the article, but it needs extra steps to fix the divide

More specifically I think it's the story of 28 Weeks Later which is based on that.

You mean ctrl-w or <ESC>bC? ;-) I would find it okay without cat to start the next line with "grep newPattern " and then fetching the previous filename with alt-. (edit: or !$ of course, but alt-. is more practical) -- not s

Iirc, triangulation iterations can replace previous cuts. So A and B might not have any meaning in the next iteration if you triangulate properly. That's why it's okay to cut at random, because it only affects outcome indirectly.

Is it worth mentioning useless uses of cat in this day and age?

Isn't that something you could approach with work-stealing techniques? You'd need to build the work pile as you go but that seems appropriate. Maybe I'm missing something?

This piece seems to have predicted a very active field in everyday software development since then. What are the alternative paradigms that have actually become common use? Coroutines, async/await, that's what I hear about online

That's really the sentence that seems to be wrong, until you see the light shine through the problem.

I agree it's awkward, but not because of M_PI being non-standard. If history had lead to pi being defined in standard C, this code would still have been interesting. The title is awkward because it talks more about M_PI than about the

Maybe that would feel to much like playing on your own, and not seem very fun. If you could give each “player” an indentifiable characteristic it might be bring out some weird psychologycal effects. Either something kind of abstract like re

Sure it is! It's an interesting problem nonetheless :-)

He claims 100% compression, but that clearly disregards the digit ID which is potentially quite large to store. Any idea as to how to compute stats for actual compression (size(content)/size(index))?

I pretty much agree with the sentiment, but it seems to me that what you're condoning (i.e. showing what was done wrong and then the culprit will try again and improve) is problematic for many newbies. Think of the many students in mat

I think the difference might be linguistic: “to Google” has the search meaning for practically everyone, “to use Google” much less so.

It is, however, often easier for tech companies to suddenly expand to a very different type of business. Recently, Facebook started its local market service. More famously, Apple records granted Apple computers right to use the same name un

But buses? I'm sure it's good to care about drivers' concerns but for a public commodity like buses the aesthetic concerns are naturally less prominent than for personal items.

As a vim guy, and I say this because I think it makes more sense in vim, I think you mean insert mode (the “normal” mode) and replace mode (the “insert” mode). The fact that the insert is used to toggle out of the default insertion behaviou
