I don't think it will work like that. It is necessary to run the computation to get the result, even if you transfer the result back in time. So the world will end up running a lot of computations while knowing their future results. Th

I'm generally content with ddg converter, the only its issue it is hard to convert pounds into a metric units, because ddg stubbornly believes that the pound is a currency. It will happily convert pounds into dollars, but not into kilo

I can agree that rustaceans are tiring sometimes, for example, their rejection of unsafe code goes too far. I believe, it is better to learn how to wield this beast and learn how to use it to make code better. But I keep my thoughts to myse

Pedagogy cannot know how knowledge is generated in the human mind. Pedagogy can advise on how to construct the process of education, like classrooms or grades, but it cannot know what knowledge of calculus is. Moreover, no one knows what is

I believe that the only way to find the answer is to get a group of volunteers and try to teach them calculus without teaching them to differentiate and integrate by hand. It is futile to ask people who was taught the other way, they absolu
