The strive for simplicity is very old in the hard sciences. It’s already displayed in Euclid’s elements. Every generation rediscovers a virtue of the previous ones.

I wrote concentrate not code. Socializing was more a term for mails, calls and meetings plus the sometimes very productive coffee machine talk. I can code without concentration but did you ever measure your productivity and and error rate o

Working nonstop is a natural state. Think of parents. Of course you cannot code for 14h every day. You have to vary your work. Personally I can concentrate for only 5h if I want to maintain that for several days in a row. I felt very burnt

Am I? Which big corporation? dejanseo? google? I'm siding with dejanseo (the user) because I screwed up myself before. And I will possibly do it again. I see some recklessness but not malicious intent. This whole branch got flagged awa

I think in this situation it would be best to admit that it was improper behavior. You can agree that you should have either - used your own site - or someone that explicitly agreed to run this experiment. Then you can go on that you regret

If you got balls, you can try to extort your replacement value. If you come with unique skills it may be much higher than what your resumee looks like.

Software wise you could also have a look at dask. Which is more lightweight than Hadoop and spark. But since you are asking for a project, why not do something local. I.e. you could scrape some data for some time (cinemas, crime) and struct

I consider topology an important branch of mathematics. Morse theory[1] is very powerful to prove existence or non existence of solutions in other spaces of mathematics. I saw it applied to robot motion planning [2] (and could use that to p

I disagree. Remember the big Apple plunge a few years ago? Or Macies about a year ago? Or Sodastream a few years ago? I find a reasonable opportunity about once per year. But I still lack the balls to go into these with huge amounts. (Curr

No, I had no need for accounting software so far. I just kept an eye on the oss solutions if need ever arises.

It looks like they want to be able to selectively install backdoored software for individual targets. [1] I.e. they could force apple to deliver a patched whatsapp that disables encryption on the device or sends information to a third party

While the computers vision seems to work well the robot arm control is poor. The hand just points somewhere to Waldo. I would have expected that always the same finger points on him.

I don’t see that Europe produces more/better entrepreneurs/musicians than say the US. Maybe they have a less stressful life and feel better.

What is considered cheating is a cultural construct. My general feeling is that we are too judgmental about it. Accept that humans are weak. Learn to forgive yourself and your partner and move on together. It’s really not that bad.

I find the cc-nc license for the generated images surprising[1]. So let me restate that: you take a set of rules from a 30+ year old book, create a graphic from that and claim copyright on the graphic that was derived by those very rules fr

I don’t get what you mean by 1D spaces but you could triangulate into tetrahedra and sample those[1] (taking their volume into account). You will write a lot of code and still have the triangulation approximation error. For high dimensional

Depends on what you call a solution. If you call there is no such function a solution, then yes every well posed problem has a solution. But many people call only an object that exists a solution and has no solution just means no such objec
