I think rigor is imposing to people when you try and combine it with high-level theory. The concepts in that article are built on top of so much theory, that to explain it all would require the equivalent of a course on…
I don't see much use out of either other than as a line on a resume. With that in mind, I'd choose IEEE - more well known than ACM. (And if you're getting the type of membership providing access to research libraries,…
The comment that the link leads directly to is devastatingly good. If you don't want to do a lot of reading, just skip the main article and read that comment.
Yes. Completely happy. As everyone else said, the export to pdf is great.
No. I think SAT score would be correlated with IQ, but not too strongly on its own (many not particularly brilliant people get high scores by preparing excessively). I think measured IQ and family income would,…
But presumably average score for each group is used. I wouldn't think the difference in average score between the 200k group, and the 220k+ group would be great enough to cause that (and I don't think there'd be too…
I thought the same, which caused me to click on the link they used as reference, which turned out not to work... <insert eyebrow raised emoticon here>
The only wierd thing to me is that the strength of the relationship appears to gradually weaken as income gets higher (which would make sense), but then sort of jumps up at $200,000. That's surprising, I would have…
Yeah, good point, my advice is not particularly general. I guess I should also add, I've found most things not particularly enjoyable until I get a minimum level of skill. So if your a complete beginner jumping in for…
EDIT: ugh, this is not working right. I can't figure out how to get the asterisks to not italicize ( I was trying to show an example). Variables have block scope, but storage duration need not. If you return a pointer…
In my experience, LONG practice sessions are much more effective than short ones. E.g., I've found I get far more out of one 8 hour practice session than four 2 hour sessions. I'd also say you need to do it intensely -…
Thanks for elaborating. I strongly recommend you find a trusted friend/family member/mentor/etc. to talk with about your concerns. It's really difficult to get a handle on a situation as complex as what you've described…
Also... Arrays have block scope. So if you have a function that declares an array, operates on it, then returns a pointer to that array, it's undefined behaviour. This was very confusing to me when I learned C because…
But most people, IMO, do not think deeply about morality, they just mimic others around them. I guess that would still apply to what you said though - it would take a very complex algorithm to come up with the optimal…
What did you do that was supposed to be "impossible"? What do you mean by "attacked"? (Phyiscally?) "Controversies"? The whole thing is very vague. :-)
I highly, highly recommend the book "Programming from the Ground Up". It is freely available, and full of small asm sample programs to try out yourself. Here's a link: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pgubook/
No one said otherwise.
With the exception of solving integrals, diff eqs, or other CAS things, is Wolfram Alpha particularly useful when you'd have google at your disposal? I would think no, but that's just my experience.
but the article said: "the Supreme Court, in its 2003 decision in Grutter v. Bollinger ruled that diversity is a permissible objective for the use of racial preferences in admissions"
what is this?
It's good writing I guess, but honestly they're trying too hard. It just sounds fake to be that over the top.
jeepers! Complimenting they guy and I get killed on the down votes??
Very well said.
How the heck is a preference in who you date "racism"? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People have strong preferences over all sorts of superficial things - body type, hair color, hair style, breast size,…
This sounds interesting. I've had a few unusual diets in the past, and found packing lunches the hardest part. What types of things do you take if you need to carry a lunch with you?
