The MBA and MBP are both fine machines. My wife get's a computer that works most of the time. I get a computer with a bash shell on which I can do my thing. Neither have shown any tendency to falls apart, unlike every Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba and HP we've had.

Would you like to substantiate that? MySQL and MariaDB have worked fine for several years for my POS application. It has always been available.
If I did it again, I might drop SQL databases altogether. There are better ways. But as an SQL database, it has worked as intended. How would a different SQL database work better for my application. I suspect you don't know, because you don't know my needs or most peoples needs.
Yet you made a general statement anyway. This makes you generally wrong. Please report to the correctness police for liquidation.
Well, 1st - I have my Business Administration Bachelor's degree (& along with that came our subject-matter, STAT I/II) with an MIS concentration... @ 1st, I didn't think it was very useful (in middle mgt. roles @ least for me) & secondly, I've been @ that as my "day job" for the better part of, oh... around 20 yrs. now"

What makes you think school teaching methods have anything to do with "current educational theory"? They don't. My kid is* home schooled to, but my wife is one of those educational theorists. She has a PhD in it and when you know the data, you can see how badly schools are practicing teaching.
is* == was, but technically is now attending a public online school from home, which is neat. Best of both worlds.
It's my favorite trick at work, to crack out a bit of number theory and then show a two line algorithm to solve the problem people have been failing at for weeks.
Number theory should be taught in elementary schools.
I took a refresher college stats course at around age 40. It certainly was not a bunch of percentages. It was a bunch a tests and distributions (t-test, poission, chi-square, anova etc) and how to apply them. Useful, but it didn't get as far as covering what I'd consider is required to be able to think critically about statistical inference and correct trial design. It worked for me, I had plenty of the latter and I'd forgotten much of the former. But for someone coming through the system the fist time, they don't come out of a generic US stats 1+2 course with the tools necessary to do statistics.
But you do need some calculus for computer science. Not all those integration techniques (thankfully I've never had to do an integration by parts in my professional career), but things like limits and rates of change and logarithms and the relation between polynomial powers.
BTW, integral of sqrt(1/csc(x)) = integral of sqrt(sin x), which isn't expressible in terms of elementary functions.
I'm a new calculus professor. Good god, is it hard to find relevant examples of, say, rational functions. In fact, if you have any beyond filters in EE, I would really appreciate seeing them before lecture on monday.
In EE, harder calculus does not follow the easier calculus. In EE, you go from calculus to statistical calculus. You don't integrate over smooth equations, you integrate over noise. Then comes the number theory, because you you need to grok error detection, correction and some crypto.
The biggest failure of school math is to present calculus as being the 'college path' of mathematics, when in reality it's a back water and the engineering action is happing in finite fields which schools simply don't admit exist.

Not obvious to me. What is it about Par that is better?

Much less messy.

Number theory should be taught in elementary schools.
You should try using words rather than symbols when writing English.
Knowing Statists, unlike all other mathematics, does not help with programming.
Knowing statistics is essential for the programming I do.
Your statement is too general and doesn't reflect the state of the universe as it is today.

You just did.

>That's pretty terrifying stuff!
It's pretty handy if you have 100 racks of 30 machines each and no monitor or keyboard on any of them.
And with SuperMicro BMCs, it's even more handy when you don't own any of them.
And the owner has conveniently wired the management ports to the open internet.

You don't? You'll never get a job around here then.
Thank you.
I guess it's not a sufficiently well regulated unit to make it into the engineering references.
I read an article in the Apple ][ days claiming going beyond 16MHz was impossible, given track to track inductance.
14nm -> 7nm.
2:1 Looks good to me.
Down at 2nm I think we're going to be worrying about whether the gate has an odd or even number of atoms across its width.
Yes.
If you ever get a job designing chips, you will find that RV has become an important part of the design flow.

I checked my copy of Measure for Measure, but 'butt' doesn't appear anywhere as a unit.
BTU (energy) and buito (mass) a both close.
Bucket (volume) is semantically close I suspect.
>Software (what most of us here create)
Really? A lot of us create hardware. We have an existential interest in the answer to TFA.
> pretend that keys longer than 56 bits don't exist!" theory of regulation is largely a relic.
But the law still sets a limit at 64 bits and requires you to get an export license for anything beyond.
>LOL. But they will have to translate it to Verilog or VHDL, which is far harder.
For you maybe. Some of us write synthesizable HDL all day and it's not hard at all.
