There are forums for the problems where you can ask for general directions, so long as hints are not asked / provided.

what a wonderful link -- thank you for sharing.

Without the actual data, or even the report that was generated based on it, there is not much that can be concluded. It seems that this leak was specific to the Business school so it's a stretch to generalize to the whole University. G

I feel that the displays in the Pebble watches (ie Sharp's memory LCDs [1]) are a much better alternative to LCDs than e-ink. Their power consumption is in the uW range with more than 30fps refresh rate. [1] https://www.shar

The performance gap between unordered_map<> and the custom implementations seems to be less than 2X. This will quickly evaporate if one uses an efficient hash such as dense_hash_map<>.

This 2012 article is very dated, esp considering alphaGo.

You need a clean abstraction when describing elementary algorithms at an undergraduate level. A lot of work has been done on cache-oblivious algorithms that respect the memory hierarchy, including from the authors of the classic CLRS book.

what are you guys talking about ? Some of the best minds that I know work at Google. How is asking algorithmic questions inappropriate for a CS candidate ?

Not true: they tried to create an entity and move the Yahoo! Japan and Alibaba holdings in there, which had the perceived danger of a huge tax bill. They could create an entity to move the main business in, which would be taxed as much as t

Point 1 is clear and on the company's todo list for a long time, but 2 and 3 are not: Yahoo could create a new entity into which the web business is transferred.

What is the argument here ? $66.2M 'actual' net profit is still net profit. Indeed there were losses in previous quarters, but it seems that they managed to turn it around. Yahoo is by no means a healthy, growing company at this p

Yahoo needs Verizon ? Yahoo just posted $300M Q4 net profits.

I think you're better off getting a c.h.i.p. [1]. For $9 you get a 1ghz arm, wifi and some decent amount of ram and flash. [1] getchip.com

Interesting title. Silicon Valley means Integrated Circuits Valley. Has the term lost its meaning ? (let me google that on bing)

Microsoft has open-sourced their LINQ C++ implementation [1] which allows you to do things like this (from their repo) : random_device rd; // non-deterministic generator mt19937 gen(rd()); uniform_int_distribution&

Weird move. Why not make the boards read-only (or at least, delete-only) ?

Access to the whole ACM digital library is $99 if you are an ACM member (which costs another $99 yearly,) so it is really $360 only if you want the printed version.

some of the pain points you refer to, esp move semantics, bring a lot of additional performance to the table. Would you feel the same way about C++ if you started now and only had to learn a clean C++11 subset going forward ?

the argument is nevertheless valid: the parser does not process any additional audible signal

nice exposition to c array types. in c++, a compile-time equivalent to sizeof would be: template<typename T, size_t N> size_t sz(T(&)[N]) { return N; }

Checks against constants are indeed compile-time.

C now has static array indices. For example void func(int arr[static 8]) {} imposes a limit on the size of the array that can be passed as an argument (you cannot pass an array of 7 or fewer elements.) I'd suggest that to the author, b

People might not remember that pebble didn't try to pivot from a smart watch to a fitness tracker but rather the opposite. They pivoted to a smart watch from a sort-of fitness tracking device (bicycling tracker.)

We formulate SGNS word2vec as a distributed graph problem, where nodes are all unique tokens (the dictionary) in the corpus and edges are defined by skipgrams. For skipgram (w_in, w_center), there will be an edge from w_in to w_center. Toke
