Its a series approximation to a function solution.
We did this in second semester calculus in a different form.
It might be interesting to compare with, speed-wise, but its nothing amazingly new.
He needs to make the size of his column wider.
That would be a significant improvement in readability.
I find his essay to be winding, without lucid and concise arguments. I didn't finish it. I got bored, and got tired of scrolling down, scrolling down....
And then it was a tad stream-of consiousness.
He perhaps needs to think about the quality of his writing a bit more, and maybe rework it after he has the first draft, yes...?
Meh.
I don't think highly of Sir Geekier-Than-Thou.
Differential Equation book was $120 this semester.
I'll trade my free iPod for a free DiffEq book ANY day of the year.
Not that I got one, but hey- I'd go to the admissions office and tell them I'd vastly prefer something that actually contributes to my education.
facinating. This should make it somewhat easier to build a Blade computer, hence, it would appear that IBM Blade-compatible appearing on Blade servers for the next 5 years is the goal.
comments: i) a libertarian essay. Only they capitalize "state". XD.
ii) He wends and winds around his points, which were:
00)Scarcity implies value.
01)Ease of transaction implies money.
10)Citizens are aware of these facts, and consequently they affect the economy.
iii) Why did he feel the need to write a essay on what is entry-level economics?
Many years ago, when I was something like 9, I thought about teleportation. I was like...if I transmute my body to air in one place, and then transmute air in another place into my body, I will have basically no place to go in the time quanta in-between. I will die. Now, if I could be instantly moved to anther place via $RANDOM_MAGIC_MEANS_PRESERVING_MY_BODY, it would work for me.
OK. In a research project near my university, a professor wants to be able to store roughly 30 GB/s. He is sampling some states in the nervous system. O'course, he a bio prof, but that gives you some idea about scientific computation.
Now, let's think video. Say in 10 years professional movie makers film in voxels, not pixels. That takes an incredible amount of storage.
Or say gaming- instead of relying on mega-servers to handle your rpg, you can run a 256-player game from your home machine without blinking.
I would wager only bus limitations prevent one from doing that with a modern 2 CPU system.:-)
*sigh* Jews and Arabs are supposed to be related, according to the Arabs. I dunno. The events they are talking about are some 3000+ years ago. But the Observer seems to say that it was a quite politically charged paper. But if the peer-reviews passed it, it should NOT have been pulled.
Actually, he has a better sense of ethics than you.

In some countries, the C is where you start, and you work your way up to the A.
Re the grandparent:
Yes. Liberal arts classes seem to be easy. In general, I've been able to drift though mine if I wanted(I usually don't), unless its my foreign langauge classes. Then its much work.
But honestly, I think most of English Lit, Art analysis, philosphy, etc, is mostly just spew.
Anybody could come up with it after a few minutes thought.
History is a honest liberal art- its tied to reality.
Music is a difficult and time-consuming subject.
Music analysis may be bull, but playing music takes >>2 hours of day of practice at the college level.
The soft sciences such as sociology are a little more strenuous, in terms of study, than most liberal arts.
And of course, as you move through the spectrum, the workload increases, until you hit Engineering.
I know a Mech. Eng. who did something like 5-7 hours of homework a DAY last semester. That's not easy not a free ride through college.
because I knew hp-gcc existed. I'm liking this calculator. I've owned a TI-86 for a few years, so I know a bit about higher-end calcs. The keyts are nice and firm, with a "pop" type feeling when I push them. I can switch between RPN and normal entering mode. The menus are a bit unintuitive.
I even have the IR port on it, plus what looks to be a memory slot.
I like it. My TI is nice, mind you. But this is much slicker. And, I can now do some good old C programming with it. ^_^
Good, good. I've been doing my first real development job this summer(REU deal, academic enviroment), and I have to say: communication and documentation is key to a good job. If you have a quit guy in an office working away at a problem using only his source code, the whole system is kaput when he leaves. You gotta spread the knowledge of the system around. 10 mediocre guys can do better than 1 flash-in-the-pan, because they wil work as a group and be able to pass knowledge and abilities to the new people. Course, if you have a good mix of hot-shots, and mediocre guys, life is even better.
Certainly I see more foreign grad students(Asian usually) that I do undergrads.
I am concerned: what will happen when these graduate students really hit their professional stride in 10 or so years down the line; when they are experienced and have done something beyond their theses ?
Is US having a problem? Yes: there is a disconnect between the scientist and the rest of the world. The geeks pride themselves on being non-users, and the users think geeks are peculiar people who play D&D, etc. The engineer is a boring old person, terrifically pedantic, etc, etc, etc. So hard science attracts a segment of the population, and the rest of the population goes off and becomes teachers, english majors, etc.
Let me ask a question: Why should I go into physics/chemistry/biology? I have to buy $BIGNUM amount of equipment and learn hideous amounts of difficult math to even get a handle on the state of the subject and do somthing with it. That's why I like computers. I actually have a chance of doing something never done before with only my mind and some studying. With most other disciplines I have to have a Ph.D.
Now think about popular perceptions. What do people want? Well, what is advertised on TV? (If companies can afford to have high-end ads, they sell something people want) They want cars, sex, beer, toys, fast food, and music. In other words, basically material goods. (Side note) Check out wallpaper sites with hit counts attached to wallpapers- the high hit count is the bikini girl.
And naturally, the US K12 education system is cruddy. Thats well-known enough.
These are older people with health problems. Having this kind of a system allows the staff to keep tabs on the residents, thereby (theoretically) giving them the ability to quickly respond in case of problems.
Think about your grandmother or other old person you know- if/when they go in, you want them to be monitored- its not that far off from a hosipital, after all.:)

ooo look!
25 is isomorphic to 35- it changes randomly.
First 25, now 35, looky 25 is coming back soon!
You may not.
OK.

I'm not sure if the initial peak is simply a rendering "start" artifact or not.

The part regarding where hackers like to work is good.
Most of it I thought was iffy, though.
And Joel is a bit arrogant and French about the whole affair: as far as I'm concerned, the Internet basically runs on English.
FYI on Debian:
Yes and no.
The "testing" setup is reasonably up to date.
Right now I'm using it and the 2.4.25 kernel, and gcc hit 3.3.4 last weekend.
The stable distro is seriously out of date in all reality. They are basically tied up in ideology....:(
I'm glad to hear RH got the dependancy mess straightened out.
enjoy !
yay. >:-|
Now the rest of the world can sound-byte themselves.
WhoooHooo.
Why don't they do something actually useful like work on P-NP problems?
(yes that IS useful and cool)
