A lovely thing in math is that a counterexample, especially if it leads to infinitely more counterexamples in a particular class, can teach you more about the problem. I find this article hopeful. It made me excited…
Two _is_ more than the average, but not by that much...
I think it's important to consider audience. If I'm working with the intent that what I write is legible to folks who only have a basic understanding of math, I'll usually use the multiplication symbol (NOT the letter…
I was advised by a few recruiters to remove all PII from my resume but my email, both for privacy reasons and because it's better to funnel all offers to the same location. I still keep my phone number on there, but if…
I understand how this works, but for some reason, when I read your comment, I thought of Flappy Bird.
Trust, to me, is not the problem. You can build trust. Known-good certificates can be distributed physically, and require signed messages for replacement. Or, we can develop schemes for distribution digitally via…
I think he is implying that he would personally never use FB messenger, so he would not be able to maintain contact with those friends.
Like I said, it's the belief that it's a niche language that's kind of making it a niche language - that is, fewer people know it (because of the perceived niche-ness), but more people want it, meaning the pay is good.…
I don't know about others, but I personally have always seen Go as an internal language for Google. This made me feel like it was appropriate for projects that I personally control, but unlikely to be useful in a…
I'm inclined to agree just from my own reading of this. I just don't see how sale could do anything but harm trust in the brands further, which makes sale only appealing to those who either don't care about trust, or…
Counterpoint here: I went on a ketogenic, high fat, medium protein, low carb diet this past year, and managed to lose roughly the same amount in probably the same amount of time (if not less), doing basically the same…
Because such entities, even when acting in the public good, would be breaking the law if they did. Those who publicly act in the public good usually try not to break the law to do so.
In a brushless DC motor, the rotor is a magnet, and the stator is a series of electromagnets that can be powered independently, yes. But the rotor is still usually at the center. You're dead right on why it can be…
That's a matter of perspective, and I agree that that's what it will very rapidly become. However, right now, I would say it really is a discount - you get a rate that is lower than what you would otherwise have gotten…
What I'm interested in is something that takes hand drawn input and converts it to expressions that can be evaluated. A dedicated keyboard for math has been immensely helpful to me, as well, because it speeds up the…
In the simple case where they look at what your likes are to determine the bubble they create around you, sure. But I don't think that's all they look at. Content could be being buried simply because a friend of a…
It's not the time off, but rather, how you fill that time off that I am arguing is career stunting. If you have to work on uninteresting, non-career aiding work for a few months to make ends meet, you aren't likely to…
I mean, it's plausible that we could make enough to get by doing work that isn't fulfilling. Building websites for local churches, for example, can pay well enough to at least keep the lights on, and there's plenty of…
It does seem pretty odd to consider software a telecommunication service, to me, absolutely. All the software is doing is wrapping up a message for someone else to send. It would sort of be like considering envelopes,…
The thing that concerns me about this perspective that everyday use of encryption is bad is that it makes no damn sense. Pandora's box is opened; if you force software solutions to backdoor their technology, someone…
I don't think XMPP is going away any time soon, but it certainly is not the most used thing out there. However, I think that's part of why they've made this request. I think the problem is that it is late enough in the…
I feel the same way, and yet, so much happens every single year that I never expected to see in my lifetime. I'm young (and in a tech field), tech isn't supposed to surprise me as much as it does. It's just that the…
I mean, that's probably the best option for society, but it's going to probably hurt his relationship with her.
Well, it's not a question of whether the next generation will be fine with it, it's a question of whether that is something we wish for them to have to accept. Yes, we are definitely the old farts, but we also get to…
Reading through your comments, I think there's really only two resolutions to this situation. The first is that your mother in law will run out of funds, and die penniless. From what you say, that seems to be where this…
