I like the approach found here: https://github.com/DSKrepps/requireFrom It doesn't work with browserify but it wouldn't be too hard to write a transform that does it.

I've never heard that phrase before. Honestly it's sort of confusing.

The article says he was able to lay down long-term memories - he knew that his sister had a daughter, who was born after his accident.

Relevant to the article title but not that actual issue. How she was treated is not made better or worse depending on whether or not she's an engineer. Splitting hairs about her position distracts from the actual issue at hand.

Oh cool, I made something similar at PennApps this year. I made a Chrome extension that let you play a bunch of flappy bird clones by flapping your arms on webcam.

You may recall that one can use the quadratic formula to find solutions to a quadratic equation (polynomial with highest term being x^2). Did you know that (one) guy that proved there is no such formula for quintic equations (highest term x

Why are you mocking them? At least they're trying to do something about it. You just come off as a cynical asshole. But oh wait, this is hacker news.

Another reason some mathematicians like to start them with 1 is because then you can write 1/n for some natural number n without needing to handle the possibility of a division by 0. As far as I've seen in classes so far, we tend

RapGenius is certainly a lyrics site. Why should the user be brought to AZLyrics when RapGenius provides the same content (lyrics) as well as annotations?

I think you've missed the point. He's saying that you cannot assume everyone reads the same tech blogs you do, and act like the things they talk about are common knowledge. His point was not "I don't want to read silly t

Definitely when it first came out, but didn't it get patched? I remember a friend of mine getting it when it first came out and it ran terribly. He tried it a year or so later and it was improved.

> Comments Papers are not just blocks of equations. There is english giving context. There is also the issue of length limits for a paper. It's assumed that the reader has a background in the area and so the authors can be a bit mor

That solution doesn't work in the general case. Say I have an anti-correlated EPR pair of electrons, such that measuring spin-up for one particle means I will subsequently measure spin-down for the other. Then your solution doesn&#x27

You're missing the point if you think the objection to these sort of apps is about being prudish and finding something wrong with naked people and sex. You're arguing against a strawman.

This is probably one of the least-important parts of the article. It was a generic example of a situation where you spend a long time trying to solve an error based on something relatively trivial. There is no reason to call him out on this
