The official site ( https://research.google.com/youtube-bb/explore.html ), has interesting examples. One of them is a guy drinking what appears to be urine from a toilet with a spoon.

Well a) is provided by Mongo and is literally the reason why Meteor can do exactly what you described: multi-user webapps which update in real-time.

Number Theoretic Transform aka Discrete Fourier Transform. The algorithms for computing it are beautiful and have enabled much of the technology we see around us today.

It can be shown by clever application of Taylor Expansion that e^2 is irrational.

Does anyone know when .NET Core will get a decent linear algebra library? I've heard MathNet.Numerics has a plan to add it, but so far there seems to not have been much progress.

Looking at the paper, it looks like an optimized Genetic Algorithm.

Canadian here, as far as I know you can't pay into the CPP if you're not working in Canada (I have a friend who is in the exactly that situation). But, that said you can put a lot of money into TFSAs and RRSPs.

>>2. Salaries in Canada are vastly lower than San Francisco / Silicon Valley salaries. This, so much this. As a Canadian (living in Edmonton, AB moving to CA in a few days) the difference in pay is simply staggering. Since a lot

I'm glad to see my University up there. As Canadians we are often left out of the global scene when it comes to news and publications.

Actually on Intel CPUs ALU operations take 1/3 of a cycle and the processor can schedule them back to back.

You just described the plot of The Time Machine by H G Wells. I also recommend the movie (the original).

Not exactly true. CPUs in long mode (aka 64 bit) do not have the virtual 8086 mode, so the cannot natively execute real mode code. However, the code segment selector can be configured in such a way as to allow 16 bit protected mode code to

One book that I've read recently that really stands out is Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces by Manfredo do Carmo. It's a bit outdated, and at times hard to read, but it has a lot gems that aren't well know (there

Hmm, I created a new account and didn't have much trouble requesting service limit increase for p2 instances. At my day job, we also don't have many issues accessing clusters of up to 20 p2 instances.

I was talking more about the fact that they were mostly stuck doing "administrative tasks," presentations, code reviews, data migrations. Things that don't exactly contribute to the progress of the project per se. Edit: Actua

From personal experience, interns actually end up doing more than their Senior counterparts. And what we worked on would fall under computer vision / machine learning, so I wouldn't call it "almost-entry-level" work

I'll got a bit further if I may, but its mostly a tip for the instructors: Start from the basics. This makes such a tremendous difference I think, because we have these pre-conceived ideas about math, numbers, calculus, etc. (due to us

Mhm, have you looked at the Razer Blade, or the Razer Blade Stealth? I'm very certain that the bundled in NVIDIA 10XX will power through.

Hmm, well you can read for yourself, my prof is nice enough to have posted all of the lecture notes online; These are the lectures from the second class where the result is covered on the third page: https://www.math.ualberta.ca&

Yup, I've been taught the result in first year calculus and the resulting corollaries, which was over 2 years ago now.

My university's library has one of those in the Special Collections sections that can be viewed if requested. Actually they're putting it up for display on Halloween.

Others have mentioned hardware breakpoints but I also want to mention another type of breakpoint that can be used for both code and data and does not require program modification. And I can name at least one debugger that uses this method.

Thats one way of doing anti-aliasing (MSAA), there are many others.
