It is true, if you do not have memory (memoryless chanel with a memoryless observer;) But if you do have memory, then you are free to chose to see "92 consecutive throws with a fair coin" as one event. In that case the Kolmogorov

"there is a clear structure of who is responsible for what" In a large org it is never clear, who is responsible for what... ;P And the result is sometimes even more code duplication, workarounds and bad examples of Conway's

Hungarian and the other Finno-Ugric languages have diverged thousands of years ago. They share some basic words from the hunter-gatherer time (heart, water, fish etc...), but this is apparent only for linguists as the writing and pronunciat

Another common objection (just to mention), is the distinction between good and bad feelings, suffering and pleasure, etc... If ephiphenonalism is true, those categorizations should be purely learned: otherwise it is hard to explain why (ev

That's true. I agree, you should iterate over all your existing capabilities and drop those that are not in the white-list. (I have implemented this functionality in one of my projects this way.) BUT: Maybe the reason some people do it

What a fine piece of literate programming! I've just printed it out, and it literally contains 100 page of explanation and context for that 500 lines of code. Great work!

If the data structures can be split (as it seems), then the first step should be to get the head k element of both collections, so we only have to work with a maximum of 2k elements. Then the solution is not O(2 * log(N)) but O(2 * log(min(

Ok, but if you plan to do something(not just excercise) regularly, maybe it is better not to calculate with the initial costs/benefits but with the long term averages... There are plenty of activities in life that initially only have c
