From doing some cursory research, it appears the software in question is called MOSS (Measure of Software Similarity) and is currently being provided as a service [0]. Since it is intended to be used by instructors and…
There are a couple of reasons why creating a self-hosting compiler can be good idea: 1. Shows to others that your language is capable of a project of moderate complexity, as well as display what an "idiomatic" version…
I think I may have misspoken. What I meant to say was that, at least for me, KMM is a little easier to view both accounts and categories, and search within them. A more accurate phrasing would have been "Filter all the…
Like many people here, I tried GnuCash. I enjoyed it, but when I would import data from my bank, it would crash. That, and not having any real way of categorizing my expenditures was annoying. The other thing that…
Good job on helping to curb mindless browsing! On this topic, another add-on I have found to be fairly helpful is called "Pluckeye" [1]. At its base level, it simply blocks all images and video from your browser. You…
As a response to your objections, 1) It's just a syntax thing... It's still possible to make an understandable program through good style 2) I don't have anything. 3-6) I've heard Racket is a good spiritual successor to…
I have to admit, the slightly misleading title got me. I'm currently going through SICP myself (albeit at a snail's pace), but it seems like the article's author and I both had the same initial objections to LISP, only…
Honest question: I tried using LaTeX for a homework assignment. I had already done all the work on some loose paper, but it was all over the place and thought LaTeX-ing it would help readability. It took me about three…
On that note, the size of the courses are not even comparable. If you look at "Explore Courses", a website that gives information on Stanford's course offerings per quarter, you see a massive disparity between CS106A…
You know, I'm sort of split on what to think of the click-bait-y article title. The guy's a PhD at Princeton, he clearly knows the Fourier Transform is more than just a trick - he even mentions that he wants to bring…
I've recently begun to think about the availability of housing and how that impacts the middle/lower stratum of the US, and it seems to me that there have been several short-sighted policies put in place that have put…
