This is so annoying. There is no shortage of things for people to do - especially if you are young. On one hand the government cannot figure out how to pay for rising education cost, healthcare cost, doing simple fixing…
Richard Hamming ( the person who came up with hamming distance ) has an interesting insight - based on the rate of sub-fields being created in mathematics - he concluded that by the year 2000 there would be 1000…
Sublime Text 3 works really well for what I need. I tried atom editor / shell / electron ?? But it seems its in constant flux. I am waiting for things to settle down and then move on to using it since its open source. I…
Doesn't LiveScript already have it ?
Read "Learn you a good haskell" - and practice the exercises in that book. It helped me a lot to understand the practical side of functional programming. For a book that maximizes the utility of functional programming…
Its different though - since water is very basic. A lot like food.
>"Moreover, our analysis suggests that rising labor costs could reduce profits by a further $800 billion." Outrageous ! So you are saying we need to give the peasants MORE money ?? How am I supposed to live !
Because its america - there is a chance it might work. But the reality is capital flees whenever a country tries to impose higher taxes. The solution is a global taxing regime - something that Thomas Picketty advocated.…
As a mathematical peasant who does modelling. # If you have a small data set - you set notation. # If you have 100s of larger data set - try to formulate your problem as a graph theory problem - Its easy to walk small…
Can we predict based on what we see the current status of the "cloud of water". Shouldn't it collapse into stars ? Or does the blackhole consume the entire cloud of water ! So many questions. Imagine if life existed…
India is amazing. As a ethnically hindu bangladeshi I would eat a hat to switch my passport so that I could go work in bangalore ! I do not have a problem with muslims - most of my friends are. But islam is a terrible…
Nice for you to assume my ignorance. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia both fund extremist Islamist groups, but no one seems to acknowledge it since both are US allies. India has its problems but no where the level of Pakistan.…
I find is to so much easier to just type out the URL of what app I need - facebook, reddit, youtube, etc - Its just faster to let google auto-complete then having to browse my own phone for the app that I need. typing…
As A Bangladeshi - Jackfruits are awesome ! I believe everyone should try eating it once in life. I find the notion that jackfruits are "poor man's food" to be weird. When did fruits have a caste system ? Anyway I am…
What are you even talking about ??
Thanks for that ! Really makes me feel much better knowing the best of us feels the same way. I am someone who learns by doing and it would have been better to just enter the job market.
My net worth is not important - but it means soon I wont have money to buy food or pay rent. I could have paid my rent and food for 20+ years on each year of my tuition. I eat canned tuna for 3 years - and went homeless…
Its a thought - I am sure many other students who were taking actual loans would have much more terrible thoughts. Yes, I realize it was a mistake. When I was 18 I was fed the same garbage about going to university as…
Its also got to do with culture. Americans have a deep love for car culture - and look at public transportation as social welfare [1]. American capitalism is also responsible for america having the most profitable…
I can tell you are not a millennial student or else you wont have that view. We are made to buy extremely expensive books and waste time reading crap books all the time. The best books in my field were written randomly…
One word = money
It was in an english school in dubai. It was seen as not similar to other kids, since everyone else I knew were right-handed. I am not sure what the reasoning was to them - I never asked my parents about it anyway -

This is good. More competition is what capitalism is about. It also means more jobs for programmers. I hope every city and every country launches their own uber, google, tesla, airbnb, dropbox, reddit . . . Treat it…
Its not a simple equilibrium as you make out to be. No one at this point can predict what automation will do to the workforce. I find it hyperbolic that off all people programmers are most paranoid of automation. Did…
