Brain computer interface, that gloves thing in Minority Report, contact lens monitor and virtual keyboard by monitoring your hands like in Rainbows End, lots of other stuff I'm sure. All you need is some interface between you and the

I like jupyter and use it all the time mostly because I can log what I do for future reference. But I have to work around it so much stuff it can get really annoying sometimes. Yeah, compared to the Matlab IDE and how easy it is to use, it&

Aside from the other explanations, you also get a slight competitive benefit. If the paper is good, you get to use the ideas in the paper ahead of other people. Though everyone uses arxiv now, so not so much anymore. Also you get a sense of

I guess so. I was imagining what a massive waste of time and energy it will be to just read the comments much less respond to them. It's already bad enough when you have people in your field who refuse to understand your work no matter

Yeah that's just what I need. Aside from being reviewed by people with a passing familiarity with what I am doing, I would like every certified internet genius who has never heard of my field to comment on my unpublished work.

Parents pay people to teach their kids chess. There are chess classes and there are large organizations devoted to chess. Chess is at a completely different league than tetris; it's ridiculous to compare the two scenes.

Mention you are black or post a picture hinting you are non-white and you'll see them crawl out of the woodwork.

It's all shit now. The only people who are left are those who can stand racist comments every other thread. It's funny, when a community pretends to be stupid for the funnies, it's not too soon before the actual stupid people

In Julia, you don't have to calculate linear indices yourself since you can create a reshaped view of a blob of memory in arbitrary number of dimensions. So this case doesn't come up. Also there are plenty of cases where 0-indexin

His argument was that the term PTSD is euphemistic. Not that terms should be hyperaccurate. Shell shock recalls weapons amd war while PTSD calls to mind vague "trauma". It's a term that is a step away from what it actually is

I think it's because immigrants who came to the US could not find equivalent ingredients to their traditional recipes as easily. Also distribution of fresh food is hard as you go west. So people had to settle with low quality recipes a

Usually people kill people that they already know. So you would have to condition the probability on people you know and where you usually are.

That same argument can be used for other inventions. Why is pharma an exception just because you added "absurdly high" to it? It is possible to fund pharma research through the government just like how much of current pharma resea

Probably it's especially prevalant in Utah because it's not common in the US to do business with family members while it's more common in Mormon communities.

I wouldn't say there's any deeper justification for 1-based indexing but neither is there for 0-based indexing. But convention is a pretty good reason for 1-based indexing. Regarding Dijkstra, I don't buy the specific argumen

Not that I particularly care to start yet another meaningless bikeshedding argument about 0 vs 1 indexing but... I think that a proper high level language should have arrays that start at 1. It's only because of C and many programmers&

Javascript is clearly a special case because of browser dependency on JS. You can't apply most statements about JS's popularity to other languages.

Ya I guess it was something of a strawman. But it's pretty close to the truth since it's very hard to get good guidance outside academia or places like google with lots of phds around.

Like the main guy in Good Will Hunting then ;)

What is that strawman exactly? You are saying that anyone can do PhD level research with just a laptop and the internet. I am saying that that is extremely difficult and impossible for the vast majority of people.

Not everyone is a certified genius like Grigori Perelman who can do great research while living in a vacuum. You need great advisors who will guide you, and fellow grad students who you can ask for help and bounce ideas off. The academic en

Yeah Julia is really easy to pick up if you're a computer science person. I came across Julia when searching for a language with good linear algebra support, then I learned it over a week while implementing a paper I was reading. Two w

It probably got missed in the who conjugate gradient mess, but I think the main point of the post was that instead of using one giant for loop that contains your logic, logging, stopping conditions, etc., you can seperate out your for loop

I didn't want to saying before but it sounds horrifying and repulsive to me, and it has hints of eugenics too. Thanks for the idea but it's pretty fucked up. It will lead to infringing on people's repoductive right's inc

Yep, you can alternatively use unique types ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniqueness_type ) to do IO while still maintaining referential transparency. Clean, Mercury, and Idris does this.
