Oh no... I used his work on nearest positive semidefinite matrices and liked to read his blog. In my opinion, he was very good in explaining his research.

I can't speak for this use case, but in many other places, one isn't even using a PRNG, but rather Quasi-Monte Carlo techniques with no randomness at all. Monte Carlo doesn't need randomness, but a good coverage of the search

What has always fascinated me about playing music in my head is that it can be background music to my inner voice, i.e. they seem to be on different channels.

Haven't downvoted, but the "continuously" in "continuously differentiable" refers to the derivative and not to the function itself. (Also, from differentiable follows continuous, but not the other way around (suffic

However, we are not talking about Bach, but about Einstein's knowledge of epistemology and that he certainly was well versed in that subject and didn't make such a basic mistake as you alluded to.

Einstein knew the works of Schopenhauer quite well and for sure didn't make this mistake. Furthermore, most of the Physicists back then were most likely influenced by Kant or Mach (Einstein called himself his student in letters to him)

This doesn't look unusual. I count 13 commands and Indy 3 had e.g. 14. If my memory serves well, that was quite normal.

This reminds me of -- I think -- Arthur Whitney, who prefers to program in C in four windows of notepad.exe. If it works for them, why not?

Someone brought either the cabinet or the content of it to the collector. Most likely, they are the source of the number of cabinets.

Thanks, I noticed the same in my second edit. Also, Christmas vacation and - to a certain extent - the summer months are quite visible.

Yes, this looks quite likely given the peaks consistently on Saturdays (at least at the end of the series where I checked it).

If you zoom in on the graph, you can see oscillatory behaviour / noise. Would anyone know where this is coming from? It is almost like they are measuring an analogue signal and have a 50/60Hz hum on it... Edit: I just remembered s

Not exactly US-specific, but Streetview isn't available everywhere. How would he have found the exact location without it? Would be quite interesting!

Program synthesis through optimal control or directly through algorithms like A* sounds fun and interesting. If I may, I would suggest to either comment your code or add more details to your README.md, because it is currently quite difficul

What is actually the task here? Parsing is clear and it looks like one has to sum all parsed timestamps, but what does the additional comment about the shortest time mean?

It is a pity that Aristotle's second book of "Poetics" doesn't seem to be among the books found there.

I would like to extract text from approximately 2000 PDF files (machine generated, not scanned) in which the layout can be different on a file basis. Some have normal paragraphs, others two columns and even three columns. All contain tables

The capital delta acts like a "normal" derivative if you want to say so. In eq. 4, you can see the product rule which is one of the most defining features for any sort of calculus. However, I must admit that this summary will take
