no, he is right in his analysis.
Stanford university should not denigrate it's own name with "introductory CS courses which, as a rule, are quite low-level"... if u want a gentle introduction to some shit or other, get hold of a "some shit or other for dummies" at amazon, do not go to stanford...
if a well known university is allowed to sink to this level of craptacularity, then, truly, american education has lost its honor...
i want an exam, and only, the exam to a certificate...
no professors, no lectures, no homework, just a test...
if i pass this, then they may charge me to prove my worth with practical things in the labs... and then some more certificates... like redhat, for example...
you like it or not, all programming is "interpretation" of abstract algebra and algebrauc structures. lisp implements a tree of operators, with operand leafs.
thus, lisp is not an invention, it is a choice of tool to use......from the pool of algebraic structures.
also, axioms are not invented by genious geniouses, they are formulated after careful observation, or long and hard thinking, or both...
this only shows that the output string of a generator contains a certain string... since the output of the generator is fixed, there are strings, literary works, that is, that can not arise, while others can...
this should be done with "true" randomness generated by processes in labs, or some HQ solid state noise generator...
if the population in this country is so dependent on entertaniment produced in the USA, then i can not, in front of "god" and truth, be uspet about the influence of USA on the government of this country...
if, on the other hand, we would keep to our own productions and culture, or even had one, for that matter, it would be different...
depends... even if I bookmarked a site with hentai on Chidori Kaname, I want to se NEW things about her, so I search...
things related to sex are not comparable to, say, strategy games... i think we want to see new people and new things on sex, but like to keep old habits, say, games and such... as some say, sex is more than a habit:-)
yes, but the state has to go along with what it is told - for a time. so if tepco says "no leak" than there is no leak - it is no good solution to have "know it alls" like you telling the "truth", neither in government or corporation.
IF LATER it is possibile to show that any part did intentionally lie, then, I think, they should be tortured to death rather slowly. that way one can't be trusted are (evolutionally) elimintated.
reminds me of a documentary film I saw about political journalism, where one of the commenters pointed out that in the old days the journalists sat in the back listening and taking notes, but nowdays they stand in the front, both in person and in words - that is they say and write the interpretation they think they can get away with...
this is a downside of "the free market" - those who live on talking are dependent of your mony, so they say what sells...
"remember, whatever you say can hurt a sensitive muslim, gay, or fat person, so please be as scilent as you can"
we have all been processed by this rather cruel fucking evolution, so how come that the only thing left seems to be overly sensitive people and morons?
just becouse I am a programmer should i go and creep out everyone by asking them what they would like to have in software?
I used to clean hospital floors when student, and sometimes tried to engage in conversaton with nurses who where friendly towards me about the software they are using, and what they would need, but this mostly cunfused them, and I decided not to disturb them... They did not seem to have a concept of software being "manufactured", so they thought I was a nut...
So the point is, I can make what I need, but can U even tell me what U need?
what strikes me with the western societies is the LACK of law... when I read about cases, or discuss with people about cases, I do not get the sensetion that I can predict the reaction to a certain action... most becomes tale of wierd psychology...
let me tell you about two cases: 1 - a woman at SEB (a swedish bank) gambled with some of the banks mony... this fact leaked, and she was sued, mostly because the leak. according to the judge, a mitigating circumstance was that at the bank there was prestige in making lots of mony in wierd business practice... what the fuck is this? is this the law?
2 - a friend was working at a private psychiatric clinic, officially with noncriminal people... now, the clinics owners got greedy, and since they got mony according to a patients "wight", the choose to take in more and more difficult people... one night, my friend calls me frightened and sad, in need of comfort, and tells me about one of the patients, this time a criminal one, with new identity...
you can fuck yourself and your fucking law, come back to me when an action has a predictable reaction...
wow, man, you are so catchy and mature, I whish I could be more like you... NOT
0.99999..., as ONE other modded person pointed out, is a limit; it is a question of convergence. The three dots shorten the following Sum(k=(1 to inf)(9*10^(-k)), and this expression converges to 1.
The point is that the three points in 0.999... is short notation for an algorithm.
Also there is something rotten in how women are, in my opinion, abusing the law: if I look at the headlines, whenever a woman claims to be beaten or raped, it is mostly by someone the woman knew for some time... I find it odd that so many "unhorny" women are raped by men they know...
it would be ease to get part time or short jobs in your field, say a summer, 3 months, a year AND there would be some way to take exams, for a fee... Then I start at the bottom, can study in my own tempo, and can ascend based on my current achievements in some field or factory...
The problem I found in is that, since we are developing, topics are getting more and more difficult, but the length of courses and the way they overlap is suboptimal... I studied for 4 years for EE (swe), but the issue of having to take 4 or 5 courses every half year did take a toll on my nerves, so I dropped university... I simply could not come up with anything positive to say to future employer based on my academic record... My grades were not bad, bud I did not feel neither as expert or professional. In the end the fear of a new course became physical pain in the stomach, and, despite that I am a rather hard fellow from eastern Europe, I had to admit defeat to this shitty system of being thought by people who do not have PRACTICE in the field they teach, but teach from books written by others with tens of years of experience in the industry...
Now, after a long holdup and living on any job I find, I study combinatorics, algebra, and FP in my own time; I finally have time to enjoy the books of Knuth, I have the time to attempt at the more difficult problems in the books, I have the time to take two weeks for a project, and most of all, I do not get constantly surprised of the phenomenon of ill formulated projects and so on...
and others have to do it for us... Instead of becoming muscular, sexy hardworking people, look what we have done to ourselfs in the latest 50 years: 1. we forgot how food is made - have you ever seen a pigslaughter? I have... 2. we forgot how textiles are made, do we even make clothes in western europe? Except expensive ill-fitting italian shit? 3. we have new types of morons: celebrities, entrepreneurs, hairstylists, economists, socionomists 4. we have laboriously invented new psychical diseases - new types of "voluntary railroadworkers in siberia" never seem to end 5. education: 90 percent of us are just using complicated jargon... say, how many electrical engeneers (in sweden) know what actual mathematical field the FFT belongs to... Do you?
we are becoming morons; when the people educated in the 70-80ies die, there will be only educated psychopats and some health care left in the modern western world...
Muuuuuuaaaaaahaahhhaaahaaahaaahaaaaa....
and please do not bother me with your deep economic wisdom... entertain your hemorrhoids instead...

i had an alpha driven compaq xp1000, it had ram with 2 chips stacked on it...

as carpenter, railroad worker, builder, engeneer, pilot...
generally, the less we have of people who mind others businness the better we fare...
big name places gather talent from around the world, that is why they have big names: research.
basic education is the same shit anywhere: use the same books, same time/course and so on...
no, we have only moved up the stairs, the lower classese are China, India, Bananaland and so on...
I well praise freedom and democracy when we manufacture our own shit, and perfect the skill of living of the "local land" instead of others...

Works if you are the architect and construction worker...
Sadly, you have to understand other peoples code also, and work on others design...
if there is not much research or serious architecting involved, but mostly design, than the most experienced will win...
if it is a difficult poblem, than there is no win in developers hiding information from eachother...
what the hell is this?
Knowledge in electronics and some mechanics makes on a GENIOUS?
Hey, I wiped my ass this mornign, then at least I am moderatly ingenious? Please?
hahaha
and others have to do it for us...
Instead of becoming muscular, sexy hardworking people, look what we have done to ourselfs in the latest 50 years:
