I live in a ruralish area--20 minute drive from the local university, but I'm surrounded by farms. I like the solitude and the space. I can't see any of my neighbors--the closest I get to that is seeing their utility pole light th

I wonder if closed-access publishing is part of why academia seems so insluated from the "real world". People write for their audience, and if the general public can't read academic papers, then academics are going to write a

It doesn't matter how you get a copy of the paper; the citation is the same either way. Plenty of academics have been passing around PDF copies of papers their libraries don't buy access to for years before this!

It's more readable, but using std::function here introduces a second layer of indirection vs using a plain function pointer. More specifically, std::function's operator() is virtual, and calls into a subclass that's specializ

Zotero will work the way it does with Chrome now: there will be a plugin that integrates with Zotero Standalone, which will continue to be developed using XULRunner. I think this will be good in the long run--Zotero is complex enough to mer

I suspect that the float frequency is generally equal to the AC frequency, but I suppose it may be possible for it to be some subharmonic of the switching frequency, assuming you've got a switching power supply.

Laptops are indeed powered off of DC, which means that there will be a constant voltage measured across the positive and negative pins of the MagSafe plug. However, the voltage measured from either pin to ground might very well fluctuate. W

Last I checked, most places reimburse you about 50 cents/mile for vehicle depreciation and gas. Let's assume drivers pay 15% in taxes, just to make the math easy. $1 - 20 cents for Uber - 15 cents for taxes - 50 cents for fuel&#x2

For the Map-Reduce transformation, you require f(r(a,b)) = r(f(a),f(b)). This is equivalent to requiring r to be a homomorphism, I think. You could probably generalize that condition to situations where f can be lifted over the output of r
