   I was going to ask... are there enough people in Nursing school? Other professions complain of a shortage of talent, and yet schools are full of capable students who can't get hired. This is true... for example in software development

    I found a math background is a disadvantage for learning Haskell, since most mathematicians don't really use a lot of category theory. Lately that is changing, http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1617592&#x

    why was this classified?? in any case this is really clever. the norm-squared of 1+i in the Gaussian integers is (1+i)(1-i) = 1 + 1 = 2. the norm is sqrt(2). another way to think of this is we can color a checkerboard like this: xoxox
