I genuinely don't know what you're speaking about. I have stride 1 in front of me and it does not contend that "either/or" thinking is a tenant of white supremacy. In this document, either/or thinking is used

For anyone looking at this, please note that this is an editorial written by an educational activist and not a news article, nor a statement of fact. I will contend that what was written is deceptive and is more or less a gish gallop, whic

Happy Nowruz! Quick question for those in the know, what kind of fish do you use for sabzi polo ba mahi? My wife remembers some kind of smoked white fish. Our best guess is the capsian kutum, but we're not really sure. If so, it se

I very much agree that we don't have all of the information here and that it's very easy to Monday morning quarterback a decision that was made under pressure without good guidance. Sadly, it's possible that this whole situa

Well, here's one option. Between Humble and Kingwood there are about half a dozen freestanding ERs in addition to a hospital ER at one of the Hermann branches. They would have been within 5-10 minutes of the vaccine's original l

For reference for non-Houston readers, he took the vaccine from a vaccine event in Humble to his home in Sugar Land. That's over 40 miles through the fourth largest city in America. His route home would have had him drive by the Texa

Funny enough, I was looking for references related to this topic this morning. I would add not just elderly care, but appropriate regulation of facilities that provide elderly care. Evidently, the standard business practice is to not just

I work with folks in electrical controls and there's still a fair amount of modeling in Simulink. Although Octave doesn't replicate Simulink, a good amount of code is still in MATLAB. For me, I own both a MATLAB license as well

Most of the time, you're absolutely right especially with how Octave or Julia code is normally distributed. The code is delivered to the client and the client runs the code on their system. No GPL violations have occurred. That said,

Unfortunately, in my case, the generalized inverse of AA' is the preconditioner for the system, which is why I need the factorization of A'. Essentially, I take this factorization and then run it through my own iterative method.

I'll have a look at Catamari and thanks for the link. Maybe you'll have a better idea, but essentially I need a generalized inverse of AA' where A has more columns than rows (short and fat.) Often, A becomes underdetermined

Huh, this actually may end up solving many of my issues, so thanks for finding that! Outside of their documentation being terrible, they do claim the correct algorithms, so it's something to at least investigate. By the way, if anyone

As far as I know, MKL has its own implementation. As some evidence of this, here's an article comparing their sparse QR factorization to SPQR, which is part of SuiteSparse [1]. As far as MATLAB, I believe it uses both. I've a M

I like PETSc, but how do its internal algorithms compare on shared memory architectures? I'd be curious if anyone has updated benchmarks between the libraries. I suppose I ought to run some in my copious amount of free time. Sadly, t

This is actually pretty cool. Every time theorem proving comes up, I make some mild complaints about not having any examples from real analysis or calculus like the mean value theorem. They in fact do and they can be found here [1]. Pers

Thanks for the links. If anyone is wondering about some of the hoops that need to be jumped through to make it work, here's another guide [1]. One question in case you or anyone else knows: What's the story behind AMD's appa

We all pay for software, but it's the amount that really shapes decisions. Most organizations have a dollar limit where we can just charge a purchase card and when they have to seek approval. In this particular case, the software cos

Yes, that's correct. I write open source software as well and I don't begrudge anyone for licensing under GPL. And, I'm perfectly willing to obtain a commercial license, but I'm going to pass that cost on to my custome

A similar issue has come up for codes that I write. Among other things, I write low level mathematical optimization codes that need fast linear algebra to run effectively. While there's a lot of emphasis on BLAS/LAPACK, those li

It's an example of using a referendum system to religiously disenfranchise a minority population. Further, much of the imagery used to persuade the population to vote for the referendum, such as the Muslim woman wearing a chador acros

While it depends on your perspective, I'll contend the Swiss referendum system has also disadvantaged certain groups of people as well. One example of that was the 2009 minaret referendum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

As a counterpoint, I've a Ph.D in math and I largely agree with the article. Frankly, it's difficult enough to keep track of the names in my own field much less interact with people in other fields who would greatly benefit from

OK, cool. Every state is different, so I'm always a bit curious as to how high premiums are set in different places. I just took a look at plans for those in NYC. For someone aged 35, it still looks like they're offering catast

Where do you see those numbers? ACA offers catastrophic plans to those under 30 and they're not nearly that expensive. I just did a quick check for someone with no subsidy in San Fransisco using the age of 25 and a catastrophic plan

Even if the foreign entity sends an invoice and pays their own tax, I don't think it's quite that simple. If the company hiring the contractor wants to deduct their expense from their taxes, the IRS will want to know why because
