MOV is only Turing-complete if you also add in a looping mechanism (which is to say, MOV alone is not Turing-complete). This uses unconditional jumps to "constant" addresses (as opposed to conditional branches or jumps to the addr

On their own websites, nothing was the same across classes. I'd have to learn how to use the site again every time I took a new class. I guess I had the advantage of less "creative" professors. Most of them did pretty much

Wasting their time via deception might be though.

I'm usually pretty sympathetic to these stories of people getting screwed on "unlimited" data with, say, 5 gig or whatever caps, but in this case... cry me a river, man. Data caps aside, this is like saturating a quarter-gi

The past few times I've had this happen, refreshing the page just dropped me right where I'd left off before trying to seek backwards.

FWIW, I don't think the diagram is claiming that people who are unfamiliar with type theory tend to prefer dynamic typing, rather that people who prefer dynamic typing tend to be unfamiliar with type theory.

I think you should implement Hindley-Milner in the language of your choice for a small toy λ-calculus. Did this a little while ago (as a stepping stone to building an inference system for a more complicated calculus). https://g

I suspect there are some confounding factors here. Most people I know would rather rent for $1000/month and have a good job in the city than rent for $300/month in a small town where nobody's hiring.

Yeah, I could buy "reneges on tenure" here but not "restricts free speech."

I've not spent much time with GIMP, but opening dialog boxes as separate applications put me off of it pretty quick. Got the job done, but I didn't exactly feel like it was helping me do so.

It's been a few years since I tried, but I got much better performance running the Windows version of the Orange Box in Crossover than I did with Valve's OS X port. Is the driver situation significantly different when running in C

I would expect rugby's offsides rule makes it a safer setting for lateral passes.

It's still far too early for me to write much about it, but maybe I'll have more to say in the future. So far, I've taken a single-session introductory class at a smithy a couple towns over and gone back a few times since the

A lot of CS research really does not lend itself well to being implemented as a web-based service. A new disk scheduling policy would have all of its performance advantage blown away by network latency. A new load speculation technique woul

Use the acceleromter to test if the user is able to stand up straight. Riding on the bus/train can cause a lot of wobbling around. How well can an accelerometer-based system distinguish this from drunkenness?

Also knowing what you can contribute to their business is much easier than knowing what you can contribute that they don't already get from one of their current employees.

I definitely do not think this is in the best interest of young people. It prepares students not for a fruitful career, rather it forces a trade that is not necessarily suited to the majority of students. Or perhaps it just teaches them a

Hold on, do you mean an ID number or an ID card? As far as I can tell, the Cédula de Identidad you mention is a card, not just a number. Numbers are pretty much always trivial to duplicate. Checking a physical document kind of requires a fa

It depends on what you're listening to. If there's enough noise, it is helpful to know that "ahkschah" was probably transmitted as "foxtrot."

Derivative with respect to what? Time, so we can get money/time as the output? Differentiating a population percentage -> wealth with respect to time doesn't sound particularly informative.

In the kind of situation GP describes, what matters is probably the well-established practices for extending the behavior of an already-built system without breaking what's already there. A lot of Java practice has built up around havi

It's really cons lists that are harmful -- foldl and foldr are just ways to operate on them. GP's example would work fine with conc trees and a divide-and-conquer reduce instead.
