Is there a major new release this week? I tried recently, and the UI performance was painfully janky.
When you go Pro, it becomes all about the money and not about the spirit of the Zen. ZenAmateur may be less skilled, but more desirable. > That said insulting people's children is never nice, but everyone is someone's…
You could use the monad to generate an embedded program that runs in constant time on a given class of problems. Then the challenge is smaller-- ensure that the program generator is not exposed to tainted inputs, and…
The nice thing is that this shows the "Chinese wall" between Search Quality and Ads Monetization.
I suppose parent was trying to prove that ideas can be conveyed without stretching for the Shift key and inviting RSI.

Android doesn't have such great CPU diversity.
FWIW, being crackable with extreme brute force (that only the best-funded attackers have) can be a reasonable compromise -- NSA can't crack everything, just the few pieces of data they are willing to spend compute on.…
Training programmers to ignore a builtin type, and set up hacks to make string literals use a different type, is hardly "nice".

Does anyone have a 2007 MBP with a functioning battery?
An admirable attempt to slow down the hype train which could derail his work, but weird to see him backpedaling against his own work, in the face of encouragement. But, good for him, I suppose, that he got to write the…
"Devices" have been driving children to "epidemic" levels of ADHD for a decade or two at least, so it is hard to see the connection now. I suspect it's more to do with general increase in wealth (at least as far as…
Hmm. Those two examples are from many, many years ago. What about more recent acquisitions?
The Mathematica system makes some beautiful, informative graphs, and presumably users can make those graphs with a minimum of fuss and bother. It's technically very nice. Yet, in the entire blog post, is there one…
People donate their data to support Wolfram's closed-source, paid-license, for-profit program?

Yes, ultimately we are bound by tradition, since changing over to any system is too expensive and confusing. Path dependence and local optima. See also: English vs Metric units.

Are there multiple sales tax regimes operating within the span of one PO Box? Doubtful than anyone on either side will worry about that case
That's like saying "e-commerce == middleman effectively increasing the burden of any purchase and wasting resources"

Sales tax should go to the state where the buyer is, since the buyer is almost always the human person in the transaction. The only reason that it goes to the seller is that sellers are easier to regulate than…
The best result that could come of this Internet/Sales Tax issue is that Sales tax is abolished in favor of income tax.
