That makes sense, thanks

Any time I wanted to use mono it didn't work. It wasn't many times though. A couple of times to try a FPS game and also for some sites based on Silverlight. I'm wondering if it is usable now or what's the common use case

I can assure you that people in eastern Europe, the Czech republic at least, also do complain about having their nice new bikes stolen. Just to put things into perspective, eastern EU is not some wild west.

The best text I've read about backpropagation is in "Neural Networks: A Systematic Introduction" by Raul Rojas [1] He uses a nice graphical approach that is easily understandable yet formal. It's been many years since I&

I don't think you have to or should stress in your CV that you intend to go back and do a PhD. From a recruiter's point of view being a PhD dropout might be even better because it could mean that you won't go back and you w

Garbage collection is quite similar to view maintenance in databases (or more specifically reason maintenance / truth maintenance). Especially the fact that they found a least fix-point formulation of the problem hints at strong simila

It's even already implemented as the Hacker News UX extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-ux/chn... I like it a lot, it would be great to have it that way by default.

Knowing bash, sed (single-line), grep quite well, I still regularly run into problems (mostly multiline complex regex substitutions I guess) where I could use a more expressive or more efficient tool. I am thinking that I should perhaps inv

You've already gave us background on who Trevor Perrin is. Could someone shed a bit more light on who Dan Harkins is? He seems to be quite arrogant and does not address Trevor Perrin's criticism very constructively. See the other

Thanks, that sheds a bit more light on it. To me it still sounds like "I solved the problem because I formalized it." The formalization is probably novel (since he got his PhD for it) but somehow I find it difficult to believe noo

How is this better than applying the minimum description length principle formalization of Occam's razor? (from 1978 [1]) I admit that I didn't spend time to really delve into it but nothing in this article strikes me as particula
