Hi @jbed, I have sent an email to you, as my colleague and I are in the space of assisting people to progress through the interview process. Cheers, Martin

Hi, I'm happy to chat with your brother, to help him work out what are some good questions to ask, when looking for the best kind of service provider / consultant is best for him. I might then either be able to help him…
thanks. this is what i was intending to say, but you said it much better. :)
This new coefficient of correlation is really really awesome, and this visualization shows its value in such a beautifully simple presentation. It would be great if someone who has Wikipedia edit privileges, can edit…
This is an order-based algorithm, so it is more related to the median than the mean. Another very useful consequence of being order-based, is that this new coefficient is much more robust to noise/outliers than the…
thank you for these kind words. ;)
1. yes, the index represents the dimensionality So[0,1)^1 is a line interval, [0,1)^2 is a unit square and [0,1)^3 is the unit cube, and [0,1]^d is a d-dimensional cube. 2.Only one boundary can be included It includes 0…
You are right. In mathematics, the traditional notation {x} represents the fractional part of x. Regarding the two-variable function mod(x,b). Typically this is written as x (mod b) in maths, and as x%b in computing. It…
I don't have any intelligent comments on your question, but I wanted to say that I am a fan of Quanta magazine, but somehow had missed this really cool article. So thanks for pointing me to this fascinating field. ;)
One reason/situation where the Fibonacci method is preferred is because it is a direct construction method, which can be coded in a few lines, rather than an indirect iterative method. The second is that because an…
I believe it is right. However, I often get these two intuitively mixed up because: Icosahedron: 12 points, 20 faces (and 30 edges) Dodecahedron: 20 points, 12 faces (and 30 edges)
Author here. Happy to try to answer any questions! ;)
I was given the book "The 85 ways to Tie a Tie" as a gift many years ago. It is a wonderful read for nerds. "Two physicists prove that there are not just four ways to tie a tie, but a further eighty-one. ‘The 85 Ways to…
this a hundred times, for me. Thank you for expressing this so well.
LOL! tx.
For those interested in this topic, I wrote a similar blog post on the geometric interpretation of the various trig functions, which also includes some similar diagrams for the hyperbolic trig functions: sinh, cosh,…
my pleasure.
Hi voisin, Congrats on your half marathon. It is in some ways not that much a jump from 21km to 100km runs. Regarding my personal path, although I have always been generally fit and healthy, I went from no running as an…
I based much of my training for ultramarathons on his system and principles. Very happy with the process and results.
