Wouldn't this be a little tricky if such a step can expose proprietary parts in the closed-off products, given that one can expect a reasonable rate of reuse?

It's about 11 CAD.

1%? Really?

Quite similar to what I went through too. I finished my degree and I'm still trying to gtfo academia.

I don't think that's a sound analogy. When does getting a lift in a garbage truck allow you the opportunity to further humanity's knowledge to the same extent as being able to access papers and do some research. These are rat

I think this is less of an issue when you code in Python, where the code is already somewhat pseudocode-ish.

So, what about those who only have a desktop? If you want candidates to code on a computer, provide one. Although that had its own issues as well.

Well, even though it's not idiomatic, it still works. A good question to follow up with is if the candidate is familiar with iterators.

My girlfriend and I are both dancers and whenever we have a hard training session she prefers to eat about 1.5-2 hours beforehand while for me it's more like 2.5-3 to feel the most comfortable. Just an anectode.

You'd have to exclude 1 if you were to do "prime" vs "composite" since 1 is neither of those.

The maximum on the Apple site is 512GB standard but you can purchase 1TB to make it 500 dollars extra.

I remember writing a little script in Python that used a pdf library to try to grab the title from inside the pdf and rename the file. It worked half of the time. I too have too many pdfs and it's annoying to have to rename every singl

I had a similar experience with similar grade and outcome. I finally started understanding things when I took PDEs and so on.

It's a little spooky that the author, Gian-Carlo Rota, passed away the night before teaching a class.

He was the author of Indiscrete Thoughts[1], a great book on Mathematics. [1] Review here: http://www.maa.org/publications/maa-reviews/indiscrete-thoug...

As a mathematician, sum(whatever) or product(whatever), reads just fine. There are in fact, a lot of uses of sums and products, so after a while, they are pretty naturally.

If you are like me and drink a lot of water each day, you will get really really tired of measuring it and keeping track of it. Making it automatic is important - it eliminates the psychological component of trying to beat your numbers. A p

It is to be expected that your cardio would improve more under CrossFit than under powerlifting.

Also, mathematics' naming conventions are quite strict. The nabla symbol is almost-exclusively used for vector-calculus operations. The letters t, s, u, v are almost-always used for parametrizations. The letters i, j, k, n, m are usual

The purpose is completely different! Here's one of several important reasons. You wouldn't survive doing math with longer variable names. Imagine yourself writing "time" every time you need to write it in a formula in th

There are a lot of conventions in physics and math and they come to the rescue. In the CONTEXT of gases, it's easy to realize that V must be volume, T must be temperature, etc. The formula PV = nRT is for physicists, not for "anyo

One needs to check starting with n = 332192831, the 17896982-th prime. Here 2^n-1 has > 100 Million digits.

Something like, count to 10 on the "yes" screen if your answer is "yes" or count to 10 on the "no" screen and so on.

It highly depends on the dance, its age and its history. Ballroom dancing, for example, has notation for various elements of movement. Here[1] you can find examples. If you check them out, you'll see a fair bit of complexity. Overall,

When dealing with numbers that span orders of magnitude, it may be better to use the geometric mean (sqrt(1x10) approximately 3), not the usual mean ((1 + 10)/2 around 5). Just my guess.
