(The generalized term for a polyhedron in higher dimensions is a polytope, by the way.) Don't forget that you can also use LP relaxation ("well, what if we didn't need everything to be integral?"). If it comes out with i

This is great, if your user report has enough details for you to replicate the problem in a test case. More often than not, I spend a fair amount of time looking for error logs, tracing through the code, and generally getting a good sense o

In this case, a is the first value to be initialized, but it's using the value of `b` (which is uninitialized).

I will point out that in the first two issues, the repo owners also edited the initial report with something along the lines of "removed ad". I disagree that the first isn't a complaint -- the owner stated that this behavior

Don't forget the celebrated Bayes theorem that falls directly out of the definition of conditional probability P(A|B) = P(A & B) / P(B). If you had to squint at it and turn that into P(B|A) = P(A & B) / P(A), you&#x27

This is one of the biggest selling points of fast.com -- it's served from the same Netflix domain + servers that also stream video (nflxvideo.net). If ISPs want to make fast.com fast, then they need to do so for all of Netflix.

Even in a wired context, frame-based protocols inherently utilize TDMA (over multiple channels), just not on timescales you normally think about. If I'm not mistaken, the radio example uses both frequency division and time division. Yo

I'm not sure I follow. 2 * 3 * time.Second is the same whether you group 2 * (3 * time.Second) or (2 * 3) * time.Second (namely, the implicit grouping under left-associativity). You wouldn't normally write time.Sleep(time.Second *

Not true. If it were based on cost of living, then Google would pay more for you to work from Hawaii than from Alabama. (Spoilers: it doesn't, they're both in the same salary band.) It's slightly more true that it's base

Yeah. Priority queue backing is the most common way of introducing the algorithm, although fib heap achieves better asymptotic performance in the general case. Here the number of edges is linear in the number of vertices (at most 4x) so it

Fib is a weird case because it's the poster child of dynamic programming. The challenge in this case is that each call spawns multiple recursive calls, and you're ultimately just adding 1's and 0's (so your runtime is co

When the definition is far from the use of auto, that's exactly the case where I think repeating the type is meaningful. Yes, it's noise to write: std::unique_ptr<MyWidget> widget = std::make_unique<MyWidget>();
