You can compute this integral as follows. First, you remember that sinc(x) = sin(x)/x is the Fourier transform of 1/2 * indicator function of [-1, 1]. In general you have: sinc(x/n) = n/2 \int_{-1/n}^{1/n} d t e^{i t…
I didn't read the article but, in case you don't know quantum mechanics, I should tell you that the vast majority of people who study such things think that Bohm's theory is plain wrong. I should also say that it is not…
No, she most certainly did not discover the DNA. The DNA (which was not named like that) had been around since Friedrich Miescher's work in the 19th century. Your statement is at least[#] as ignorant as saying that J.J.…
I see they are adding an analog of the C++ iostreams, but I don't see a discussion of how to disambiguate between `sin' as in stream-in and `sin' as in the mathematical function. Really, they should introduce some kind…
Well, the argument feminists make is that inequality=injustice. For car mechanics, there is clearly inequality. Why aren't they rushing to fix the injustice? And by the way, this car mechanic supposed injustice, must…
> the fact that many sexist anti-STEM cues are given to children at a much earlier stage, way before careers are even on the horizon It doesn't look like you read the article. It clearly stated that in countries like…
I'm wondering, what is the police upset about, an admission of guilt? This is clearly just a bad joke, but apparently a bad enough joke to get you fired. I don't know the full circumstances, but if the previous conduct…
This article is from 2016. There are some really odd choices there: for example, Lena Dunham or Emma Sulkowicz.
Please, please, please, don't take MathML away from us. Even though we are few in number, we want to be able to put mathematics on the Web. I'm sad Chrome and IE chose not to implement support for MathML.
It's funny how some companies now literally enforce a "don't ask don't tell" policy when it comes to some points of view. In the academia it is probably even worse than in the industry. Except this time, it's the left…
If you find a rational person willing to defend any of the points you made, then yes, it is wrong to be against that discussion.
I think using "deeply buried in identity politics" is overstating facts. And I'm sure you can find many people in academia and otherwise who will clearly identify as Marxists and who advance the points of view that he…
IANAL, but I think legally they are forced to act in the interest of the shareholders. In other words, if a shareholder feels like the management harms the company they can sue them.
If you're a professional you should be able to work with people you disagree with as long as the disagreement is civil and reasoned. I'm astounded to see that you would say he "had to be fired" because "people wouldn't…
People should understand that undefined behavior allows you to squeeze the last bit of performance, so it can actually be very useful (if you know what you're doing). Here's a cute example: suppose you want to index in…
I think it might be a bit more than that. As far as I can see, all the primitive data types in Rust have sizes which are multiples of eight. However, there are still architectures out there with 9 bit bytes, or 36-bit…
I think this is really unfair. I was downvoted a lot and I'm not sure what for. Every single statement I made in the initial post in this tread was 100% correct and I stand by it. I didn't downvote anybody, I didn't…
If white men aren't responsible, then who is? Maybe she is responsible for her own failures. What a radical idea is that? Who hurt you, buddy? Please, I'm not your buddy. you can still be taking up unwarranted space…
What's the damage? The damage is that racism is evil irrespective of who the racist is (and yes, black people can be racist too, as any reputable dictionary should be able to prove to you). And every instance of it…
No, because Jews aren't an overwhelming majority of people taking up space in universities. I think you'll find that they are overrepresented. How did that come about? And to turn your question back at you: if jews are…
And by the way, this commentary that you quoted is by Adriana Salerno, not by the original author. This commentary appeared after the negative reaction to the blog post; the initial version of the blog post did not…
I don't think I was cynical at all. I just took the most straightforward literal interpretation of what she wrote. And I think she really meant it since otherwise she would have apologized for any misunderstanding by…
It is racist and misandrist because it singles out _all_ white men. I don't know how I can make this any clearer. Would it be any easier to understand if you substituted "white men" with "jews"? And by the way, in what…
In what way is my summary terrible? I stand by it and I have the facts to back it up. When somebody says: > If you are a white cis man (meaning you identify as male and you were assigned male at birth) you almost…
This is not standard C++, is it? private: System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ txtDisplay; Should "^" be "*" instead?
