For Mathematica, the graphical outputs and the vast pallette of functions is truly marvelous. IMO it feels a much superior product to Maple & MATLAB. If only they could make it bit more affordable to individual hobbyists. If I remember

Coming from a ML domain, I feel there is so much terminology and its duplication floating around which could be better explained, maybe with an example or a picture (or even a simple howto). The technical debt is just too high. For example,

This was covered in MIT 6.042 in in a different and bit harder way by Tom Leighton as a general proof. The problem involved tiling the Stata courtyard with L-shaped tiles. You need a bit of mathematical induction to prove such results.

This is my true story: Back in 2012, I was a grad student. My advisor, for some reason, cut me loose. Most probably because he was getting a cushy administrative position elsewhere. He asked me to wrap up or leave within the semester. I was

Computational theory was always hard. What is different now is that we see a lot of confluence to practical applications, and people who haven't exclusively trained for it find it hard to parse. It was previously in the realm of math -

If we are talking of abuse vectors, they should similarly be limiting access to followers and tweets by hashtags. Those are at a higher risk of abuse. I can look up a hashtag or follower list and simply run a bot to selectively reply at tho

There will be a major supply chain crisis if you stop importing from China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh & Indonesia. It amazes me how even a bar of quality soap comes imported from China nowadays.
