There's a difference between doing math proofs and solving equations, and understanding problems quantitatively (which requires some basic math competency as a prerequisite). The sample question suggests it was the latter. It's li

The ribbon is stacked button bars. Navigating the ribbon is as unsettling at stacked tab bars. One nice thing about menus is that you peruse them without clicking. Ribbons force you to hunt and peck through the layers with the mouse. Furthe

Yes, I was referring to that section. Eventually restrictions on commercial use completely nullifies the AGPL... no one ends up with anything that's AGPL in the end. Your alternative approach here would work. Maybe specifically a tri-l

I don't know Angular at all. But it appears that the example with $scope is not respecting the MVC design pattern. It's all been flattened and merged. The controller should only update the model. And the view should only get state

MongoDB made an explicit exception to AGPL. Normally a driver wrapping an AGPL database would have to be AGPL too. In turn every app using the driver would be AGPL. But Mongo, as owners of the driver and DB, made an exception for users. The

It's prudent to have a CLA anyhow. Even if a whole project were AGPL, an employer of some contributor could claim ownership and IP theft. And the right to fork a project also means the right to put conditions on accepting contributions

Personally I think you can understand algorithms knowing only algebra and finite math. However, I should clarify the BA programs I'm aware of still required a semester or so of calculus versus others which require a few semesters. At m

I like that article a lot. GRE Quantitative and SAT Math skew heavily toward men. And the SAT covers very basic reasoning skills that would be related to programming aptitude. GRE Quantitative covers topics essential to surviving a CS major

CS 101 and 102 are this. After that I found CS to be 90% math, algorithms, and a sampling of some foundational topics such as operating system, graphics, and network programming. Computer science is not vocational training and not training

I am not sure FF hides the real OS in user agents. Check about:config for general.useragent.override and if its value exists, then at some point you or a plugin specified an override.

CSS media queries reveal your fonts and screen dimensions. Maybe someone could tie that in with lazily loaded images with unique IDs, thereby tracking you. It would be nice if people could disable media queries, as they're annoying any

One issue is that without using Tor Browser itself, any attempts to de-fingerprint your browser end up making an extremely unique fingerprint if anyone's looking hard enough.

Corporations can be wholly owned by other corporations. And they often have an obligation to seek to maximize profits above all other concerns. How's that an association of people? They're treated as people because there was a sim
