Just have to market it as a "military-grade intrusion detection system" or something.

Last place I was requires a conflict of interest review when a professor requires a self-authored textbook for class. Their recommended course of action is to donate all royalties from those books to the university.

What are your usual use cases for Uber? MBTA covers pretty much everywhere I go, but I think MBTA coverage has also shaped where I tend to go (and where I live).

I think it is a little bit difficult to come up with examples, other than R^n or C^n, which seem motivated and interesting to the beginner My introductory linear algebra class also used polynomials over R, which led to examples like using

It doesn't seem all that crazy to me. I wouldn't be surprised to see an ML programmer write something like datatype name = Name of string and this is just the way to express that in Java.

A superscalar machine should still be able to benefit from loop unrolling by issuing the instructions for multiple iterations in parallel (though this is more hardware-dependent than I like to think about when coding). The rollback machiner

Sure, it doesn't prevent them from doing the wrong thing in that situation, but it does require that they have given the situation enough attention to write code for it, which is a serious improvement over not handling it at all. As I und

Personally, I would avoid it because things that are too big to fit in the sink are awkward to wash, even if I don't soak them.

Depends on what you're being paid for. It's one thing to do that with ongoing payments for an ongoing service. It's another thing to code a backdoor into a program you write for hire.

People keep saying that. That Scheme is a perfect introductory language. I doubt though that there is _any_ evidence to suggest that students who start with Scheme end up being better programmers. FWIW, http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthi

If the running program has to get its source code from some external source like a file, it's generally not considered a quine (consider a Turing machine -- its state transition function is not written anywhere on the tape).

As far as real "copy and pasting": "Common examples include the initial lines of for loops". Makes it sound like another candidate for new abstraction facilities (not really all that new -- see APL and its descendants).

You really find it odd that the government can force company X to turn over your ip address, name, email and other such information? People keep on pointing out to you that the judge applied a standard meant for public information to a re

Sure, but the idea that tweets have an expectation of privacy, reasonable or not, is absurd. What about the rest of the information associated with a Twitter account?

I think that may only hold when working with sufficiently C-like languages.

On the other hand, a strength reduction pass might just collapse it to false.

It seems like the game would need some sort of non-utopian conflict-driven backdrop to create enough desire for whatever products for there to be an interesting economy.

"Go is not meant to innovate programming theory. It's meant to innovate programming practice." I don't think GP was saying that Go should have provided some advance to programming language research, but that it doesn't show much awareness

Ideally, you sue to be made whole again, which makes the $7 payment seem ineffective.

Yeah, ok, array slicing, woohoo. But what's interesting here is that this doesn't come from any special/privileged syntax or from special handling by the { operator. The { operator just expects a scalar and a list and accesses an element of

Replacing them with ASCII/unicode equivalents rips the guts out of the language. … What have you accomplished? Well, at the very least you've ruined the superbly expressive nature of mathematics through agreed upon special symbols. I real

I've only gone to conference once, but I generally ate out with groups of people who didn't already all know each other. A table only holds so many people, so the same strategy is necessary whether people scatter to restaurants or stay in o

I don't know about the US in general, but $40k for entry level sounds about like what I've heard for the upper Midwest.
