A common gripe from young students when learning math is "I'm never going to use this!" With programming, it's much easier to motivate the subject matter - students want to learn the math so they can improve their projects. Similarly, I f

And related to combinatorial math - probability is usually a required course in CS, very helpful for tons of tech jobs (e.g., quant jobs). You can actually make a decent living as a programmer by just gluing js/ruby together, since that con

It's actually the multi-unit analogue of the first-price sealed bid auction. Note that in FPSB you also don't have an incentive to report your true value, but it is revenue maximizing and efficient in expectation assuming risk-neutral bidde

Hey dave - Didn't mean to take it out of context, definitely a mis-reading on my end. To be fair, "servers you control" is a little tangential to the real issue, which is an open ecosystem, and "cutting corners" doesn't really work with th

That thread points out a huge problem with the quora format - ideally people could vote up suggestions on a per-item basis, so that the community could collectively produce the best list of items. Instead people produce long-winded all-enco
