Theories are not assumptions. They usually include some kind of explanation for $OUTCOME.

A (pretty smart) friend of mine tried to show me that scientists' findings about he Earth's age are wrong because he read aome article about errors in the estimation technique. He then argued that therefore Earth is not very old a

> simplicity of this binding interface enabled the evolution... A lesson to learn in software development too.

How much simpler would OSes and security be if we threw away multiple users (and groups)? I think we don't really need them. We only need 3 operating "modes" in 90% of the cases: normal, administrator, guest. And after that v

On the other hand in English the subject is required. It is not in the other languages I know. Funny...

If the project is not enormous a simple hard disk is ok. A lot of RAM is much more important than SSD. Sure indexing the first time takes enough time for you to go grab a coffee but otherwise it runs pretty fast.

Is this an american weirdness? That sounds completely unreasonable.

It is NOT a text editor and I think it's eating that cpu for a good reason.

OpenMPI classes were actually very interesting. Same with e.g. prolog. I didn't mean that kind of courses.

First thing that comes to mind is MFC. Also CLIPS, graphics, operating systems (the way it was taught anyway). Most part of the java courses too.

Computer Science. 80% of the material in each course is useless (except maths courses and a couple theoretical ones). The rest 20% can be learned in a couple of afternoons. If you're American YMMV tho.

But often in university a good 80% of the material doesn't _really_ matter

But if they can borrow from the European Central Bank what's the problem?

Why would they pay school for you after you have already set up your life cooking? "After 8 years" makes me think you should already be independent.

Provably depends on the region but there's no water as good as water from traditional wells in rural areas here.

I am curious to see more opinions on this study. The speaker argues that good relationships improve our health and success in life. I wonder how much of it is the other way around though. Maybe cause and effect are inversed?

The questions actually improve my opinion of the restaurant if the waiter is very good. EDIT: Of course this applies to real restaurants, not mcdonalds style...

The trig part was intuitively obvious for me, but the % part was wow!

I know you can find many bundles on microsoft.com with vagrant file and box ready for you. It's for testing on various versions of Internet Explorer but I guess you can use it for whatever you want.

I jumped straight to second grade at the age of six because I already read fluently (in two alphabets, learnt the first at age 4, the second at age 5), could write ok and math was easy to me. I remember being bored in kindergarten. I think

What if you can achieve such high learning rate only because (in ML) you process a really narrow view of the data which cannot lead even close to how a human perceives things? I mean in terms of conceptualizing and connecting things/th

The part that always looked strange to me of comparing AI to humans/children is that humans have had years of time to learn while e.g. neural networks a few days at most?

That's the meaning I actually took from the movie, but I'm still not sure that was the purpose of the authors. A lot of people didn't understand it that way anyway. Edit: tried to take, because it's still hard to assim

OT but i'm happy to see someone else was also disgusted so much by that movie. I'm not a moralist but the glorification of such degenerated values in that movie was horrible to watch.

Interesting difference in attitude I notice. The java (i suppose) devs commenting have the general attitude of "give me one good reason to use this instead of X". In contrast when a new javascript framework is posted people go &qu
