Godels incompleteness theorem says that no formal system can prove or contain all truthy theorems. It says nothing about humans being immune to this effect, which it seems to me your comment is implying

I would be interested in hearing the opinions of people who've been in this situation, too. Seems like it could be beneficial to the community.

I like the browsing atmosphere of the small bookstore. Also I find it hard to get past all the titles that are currently being hyped if I go to amazon. I read more old books than I do new ones. But if I have a title in mind that I want to b

I spend a couple hours once or twice a month in a used book store. I browse the history, fiction, classics, science/math sections and look for titles that align with what I've been thinking about lately. I also have a mental list

The design does not /have/ to involve writing a compiler. For instance, the X3J13 committee designed the ANSI Common Lisp standard, but left writing implementations up to third parties. On the other hand, the team of Julia languag

Do these robots have electrical parts inside of them? It seemed like they were being made to move by a nearby magnetic force, not an engine within the robot.

Getting a job as a programmer certainly doesn't require either talent or passion. Even when you start to compare programmers, the better ones are generally the ones who've spent more time hacking, regardless of how much talent the

I like the fast fourier transform method for fast integer multiplication. Only applicable on really big inputs, but the idea is that it computes the fft of both integers, does point-wise multiplication of the resulting vectors, then does th

I'm not sure what method this system uses for definite integration, but it is likely one of Simpsons, Gaussian, and Clenshaw-Curtis. These are numerical methods that, for the best accuracy, require lots of steps of evaluation. Dependin
