I wonder to what degree weaponized propaganda is aimed at liberalism and its component beliefs directly. Perhaps this could explain to some extent the speed of dissolution? Or has it always been this way?

I believe by "homeland defensive postures" the commenter you are replying to was suggesting that, because our infrastructure (electrical, hydro, fuel) is largely controlled by internet-connected security holes, the repercussions o

wendyshu has already answered this elsewhere, but the problem is in asking poorly, without subtlety, and without gauging the other participant along the way. Rather, provide a slowly escalating ramp that they can willing choose to participa

It might be something about the "cooking fish" that people serve that's different from sushi fish - freshness. I used to hate all fish, then liked only sushi, and only eventually moved into enjoying cooked fish as well. The l

It seems like a whiteboard is more akin to the paper drivers test, which is a significant, non-driving part of getting a license. While whiteboard interviews can easily descend into gotcha-type puzzles with the wrong interviewer, that in it

Is this in any way related to the quantum algorithm for searching a space in √n time?

Whipping up fear of lack of preparedness, which is quite reasonable, only to dump the solution in the very last sentence as a credit card and a trip to Home Depot. Has the Atlantic always been such a submarine den?

Your comment is extremely thought-provoking, and I immediately find it true of myself, but artists are quite capable of telling stories in pictures in a way that compels an understanding that goes deeper than reference to text - might it no

Mathematical thinking can be extremely useful for programmers who never touch 3d games, or physics engines, or anything else requiring calculus or matrices. Functions are mathematical objects, and can be combined using operators that obey m

wrnr - This is literally the 'flatmap' solution you referred to above, but in sugared form - what they were probably trying to see was whether or not you understood how to collapse a pair of Maybes into a single Nothing if either

The dopamine system is a harsh mistress - she doles out based on measured differences in states, and not based on any intrinsic absolute value of the state itself - although evolution sets her priors.

All tools were created to solve at least one problem. Explaining what that problem is, and how the tool is useful for solving it, goes a long way towards making it easy to figure out the abstract template of tool application. Going a step f

With reversible computing, they're talking about being able to perform computation for nearly-zero energy. By comparison, a modern computer is essentially an expensive electric heater that performs a very tiny amount of computation wit
