Maybe I'm missing something, but their web site appears to discuss probabilistic procedures, which is not nondeterminism in the Turing machine sense.

Abstract problem solving the interesting part. Trying to fix or work around poorly implemented/documented operations/semantics is the worst part.

Also, does this cover food, transportation, insurance, etc., or should applicants be prepared to cover these expenses out of their own savings?

The journal in question isn't even peer reviewed. Was it therefore regarded by those in that field at the time as almost a vanity press? Or did they consider it a respectable, reputable journal?

Do you mean something like the case of quicksort mentioned in the post?[1] I was taught average- and best-case analysis along with worst-case analysis. Or do you mean some other fact not revealed by that analysis? [1] "Quicksort is a magica

Would it be possible to save such data as an aggregation of runtime-profiles that could be used to 1) speed up execution and 2) back-port static type annotations to the source code? It should. I recently ran across a page looking to colle

What arguments do they make about patents that do not apply well to copyright? Do they take any position on trade secret protections?

Wouldn't Amazon be able to tell if existing customers are avid readers or not by their purchase history? Sure, if they buy their books from Amazon. I tend to buy from brick-and-mortar stores (a habit I should perhaps get out of, since the

Bootstrapping is growing daily: http://bit.ly/bitcoinnodes though there are too many areas where Bitcoin does not yet exist. Are these places that are generating bitcoin, or are they places where I could spend bitcoin if I had it? If it

I would probably read it differently depending on the background of the person who wrote it (mostly based on how aware I'd expect the writer to be of the problems involved). I've seen people with a basic understanding of compilers stumble o

Just to complete the thought, what advice would you give to someone familiar with both Java and Lisp or to someone familiar with neither?

Do you mean that we'd see men marrying richer classmate women and thus feeling less need to earn money themselves? I don't think our society's typical gender roles tend that way. I think sole breadwinners are usually expected to be men.

Note that I ripped an equal amount of commit messages per language so the results aren't based on how many projects there are per language. I like how he had to tweak the data collection process to make the visualization method fit.

Early on, compensation grows quickly with experience, especially from 0 years to 5 years (a bit less than doubling). Then, the more experience you have the less effect another year of experience will have on the salary you can command. Afte

If the instances were partitioned between those three jurisdictions, then it isn't really an example of avoiding double jeopardy limitations by changing jurisdiction.

Was that all for a single crime, or did each trial cover separate instances?

I probably should mention that this area is somewhat barren of tech jobs. So is my area, so students here don't limit their search to the local area. Most people I know who have done a co-op (me included) did so at least a couple hundred

Going through common antenna design compromises... Depends on your location, of course, but the most effective thing I could do is get out of this valley. Next, I'd straighten the antenna wire and move the antenna outdoors (with a 75Ω coa

That doesn't mean he'd give that solution right away. This sort of run-around seems to fit his sense of humor.

Around here, students generally major in what they want to do for a career. It's not that a person isn't capable of doing things they didn't study -- they just aren't likely to be all that interested.

From my experience here, I would add: 7. Don't just direct everyone to your web site. This ties in to some extent with #2. If you're not meeting the students, setting up interviews, holding info sessions, etc., then your physical presence

Maybe sibling is referring to an aspect of Python I'm not aware of (there are probably many), but much of the book (or at least the first edition) is language-agnostic. Tasks are pretty well partitioned into front-end, optimization, and b

I'm currently working on Haskell. Others on the short list would be Go and Clay (since it sounds nice to have a systems language other than C, and they look interesting), OCaml (to go with Types and Programming Languages), and Objective-C (

If this is (temporarily) limited to a handful of cities, I'd find it easier to use a drop-down menu than trying to guess which cities you currently cover, though anything that just shows the list of covered cities would be nice. Not specify

Both are actually pretty frequent, but with a grocery store a block or so away, the latter is more of a problem. The current instance is chicken broth, a baguette, and spinach (and I returned home this afternoon to discover that somebody ha

My house has, on occasion, toyed with the idea of making a piece of software to keep track of what we have on hand and match it with dishes that would use these ingredients, but it always seems like keeping the inventory up to date would be

You can talk to an Egyptian ham about what's going on and then decide yourself to pass on the information. As I understand it, this is acceptable. The FCC defines third-party communication as: "A message from the control operator (first p

Most non-hams don't seem to be aware of the distinction between "transmit" and "broadcast" (transmit to the general public, no reply expected). There are likely to be other legal issues involved anyway (e.g. restrictions on handling interna

It's funny how people from remote areas will be able to identify 'their' dot. Yeah, I was amused to be able to point out "my" dot, though it would have been a lot easier with state borders (or even just the Great Lakes) drawn in.

I might, probably just for the change of pace (though if you're looking for me, I'm more likely to be in the lab than in my office).
