I'm guessing two variables here; I didn't look too closely. x=3, y=8 x*(y*(x/x)) = f(x,y) x+((x*y)-x) = g(x,y) These are pretty obviously both xy, but rather than solve it, find the maximum degree, which is 2, and ma

Just make the expressions into polynomials with variables x_1..x_k for the k different numbers, and see if they agree at (degree + 1) distinct points.

The author also states in the FAQ that the air in the chimney will not undergo adiabatic cooling. If that were possible it would also not undergo expansion and would remain denser than the surrounding atmosphere.

>To achieve more efficient results we need to reduce the itemset and for this we apply Apriori algorithm whose principle states that if an itemset is infrequent, then all its subsets must also be infrequent. Sorry, no.

While these problems don't come up frequently, I've found that in a typical project anything involving a graph has a good chance of being implemented wrong.

This just seems like a slightly different join syntax. If they want to support graphs, they could make their recursive SQL work properly, i.e. not like this: http://www.sql-server-helper.com/error-messages/msg-460.aspx

If the law worked the way you think, they wouldn't need a test.

Part of the problem is that the old analog systems were never expected to match the tests in the real world either -- that's the origin of the YMMV phrase. But I suppose the tests were sufficient to keep them within some bound.

It's not that this shouldn't happen, but that it does happen and has to be dealt with as the potential impact scales up. Having production creds on day 1 isn't the same as day 500.

One thing is to create a standard benchmark for your current solution, eg a dataset and some standard queries, and run it occasionally. When they propose a "better" solution, point them at the benchmark and wish them well. This

There are some SQL/JSON combinations that allow you to keep the unstructured stuff in a blob and promote some of the attributes as keys, etc.

For a point emitter it's 1/d^2. For a plane it's 1/d^0.

Porcelain is a big part of it. Baking stones are designed to balance specific heat and conduction so that you don't just end up with a burnt crust on a ball of raw dough. I couldn't get the recipe to load -- is the loaf put into a

This is like a pre-ferment rather than an actual dough. It's overproofed -- you can see through the crumb, and it has a wet, gelatinous texture due to the starch all breaking down. And as others have noted physics knowledge is lacking

Ha, this is exactly the other language that came to mind when I saw this article. I love Hangul, but a lot of its "scientific"-ness comes from it being so recent that the spoken pronunciation hasn't drifted from the written

Honestly, I think there's a cargo cult of people who want things to be impressively complicated.

I support a lot of data scientists using SQL and map-reduce technologies. The ones using SQL are about 10x more productive. The ones on map-reduce are building tools to figure out why their metrics are bad, because it takes too long to re

Some of the money gets funneled back into salespeople; that's how enterprise software gets bought. The salespeople target the CTO or another single point of contact.

A few notes: 1. memcmp is in <string.h> 2. char is not the same as unsigned char 3. Compilers like to remove loops. Notice how there are no labels, and no branches, in main here: https://godbolt.org/g/DCTBb7
