It presents you with a command prompt, ready to be programmed on. You can do things like shell one-liners to automate pieces of your work as you go on, without entering any special programming modes. And when you need to do more serious programming, there are no artificial barriers. In short, it doesn't enforce any unnecessary separation between users and developers.
Originally, the art of using algorithms was called algorism so the person in question would be an algorist. The -ithm in algorithm was apparently added due to words like arithmetic.
I've also seen "algorithmist" which follows the common logic of adding -ist to a known concept, so that too would be somewhat acceptable.
So far, every new generation of Deutsche Demokratische Republik has doubled the capacity in bytes/s, while latency has been more or less constant. Will this be actually faster in that respect? Because having two 747s full of DVDs isn't any "faster" than a single one.
Also: I'll just hack up something quickly so the rest of the team has something to work with. I'll rewrite it properly later.
This actually comes from my experiences as a theatre tech guy, mostly relating to lighting design. I think it applies quite generally to projects where several people work in parallel, initially with little interprocess communication but increasingly interdependent until the grand premiere. The actors and the director will need some lights to get started, but I also need to see some action before doing the final design. The trick is making that initial quick hack good enough, so you never have to redesign from scratch, and I guess that takes some experience.
(It may have been prime according to some old definitions, but not any more. Factorizations are not unique if we include things like 2*3, 1*2*3, 1*1*1*1*1*2*3, etc. so it's better to leave out one.)
Only because Fortran stores multidimensional arrays in column-major order, while every other language in the known universe uses row-major order.
Julia is another that I know of, not surprisingly because it continues the scientific computing traditions of Fortran in many ways. From TFM:
Multidimensional arrays in Julia are stored in column-major order...
This convention for ordering arrays is common in many languages like Fortran, Matlab, and R (to name a few). The alternative to column-major ordering is row-major ordering, which is the convention adopted by C and Python (numpy) among other languages.
I want a phone that is 2X as thick as available today and has a 4 day battery life. Single day battery life today is only because of stupidity. we should be at the 1 week of battery like we had with the Razr flip phone.
I want an android, i.e. a humanlike robot that can take care of household chores. Not some stupid old phone.
(Google threatened to sue a robotics company called Zendroid because of naming similarities with their phone software. I guess the meaning of words doesn't matter any more.)
the theories are both supported by experiments, they usually don't play well together, forcing physicists to consider a new theory that will allow them both to be correct at the same time...
In relativity, the entire notion of "at the same time" depends on the observer. So I guess for some scientists, GR and QM play well together, for others not so well.
Yes, because Vorbis is a better encoder for the MP3 format, instead of a completely different format, to continue your analogy in the most logical fashion.

It's right next to the crown jewels.
Claims schmaims. I can claim I'm the Queen of Sheba but it doesn't mean I've got titties or a crown on my head.
I've got titties on my head, you insensitive clod!
so the person in question would be an algorist
I guess that name would be associated with too many inconvenient truths.
In contrast to "algorithmicists", which would would never be confused with my upcoming band, The Al Gore Rhythmicists.

I hope I'm not making a rash decision by joining this thread.
I think someone misspelled Stasi. Also, cue something about it lying heavy.
I'm waiting for the Titan :) as it should be much nicer than Titan Xp.
No, but they might be a favourite cuisine among those old enough to have watched The Simpsons when it was funny.
"Being a robot is great, but we don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me sad."
I also found this file called "Trump Intelligence Allegations". If that isn't an April Fools, I don't know what is.
The number refers to other things about the protocol, such as voltage levels and allowable clock speeds.
So it's 5 volts at 5 Hertz. Got it.

It's funny because 1 isn't really prime.

It's just a sub genre of dom.
I see what you did there.
I think the correct spelling is "annoyed".
Digital rights is an ugly theft of words implying the rights of people, rather than the rights of greed ie digital wrongs.
It's not theft, it's just digital words management.
Slashdot is... going down the toilet?
No, because Betteridge.
