Could someone also write bad code and commit it using someone else's email address in the commit message, thus making the commit link to the other person's Github profile? (Sort of the reverse problem -- "giving blame" i

You don't understand how something can sound appealing at first, but then in practice isn't enjoyable?

Well, you can apply the theorem to the problem. Or apply its principles to the problem.

Doesn't gaining 600 points mean that you are able to beat the "old you" (or more precisely, people who you used to be even with) with 99% probability? (Or perhaps more meaningfully, you can now beat someone who could beat som

What about sentences that end in a period without a quote? That seems like it'd be much more common.

Yep, this blog post is in the context of using these symbols in mathematics, where this is the only usage of << and >> that I've seen. I agree that programming languages, it can mean various things, just like < and >

It seems pretty correct to me (excluding a few things I'm not familiar enough with to evaluate). Is it possible that you misinterpreted this as a post about << and >> in code rather than their usage in mathematics?

Yes, I thought the exact same as you -- that the headline meant a BCI achieved like 400 wpm or something.

If you want to frame it that way, then each physical deck can handle 52 distinct queries. So you have 52^2 / 52 = 52 decks required.

There are many situations where a good player can be predicted because there is a clear best option (or a good option that advance knowledge won't invalidate).

Lichess.org actually does have a 5fold repetition rule that applies without players claiming it -- https://lichess.org/faq#threefold Kind of funny that your hypothetical example was exactly reality in this case.

Draw a graph with vertices labeled 0 through N, then add edges i->(i+1) and i->(i+2). The answer is the number of paths from 0 to N. This is still pretty specific to counting paths in the same way the original knight problem is, thoug

They mean "previous" as in before the hackers did the password resets. (So all your passwords, except the one the hackers set.) I don't think this implies a problem with "your current password" security, just that y

I think it's likely that the author's analysis of why 5 is the optimal cache size heavily depends on the fact that they only tried fib(10). For example, it's clear that cache 20 and cache 30 are identical if your universe of

> As, we can see the optimal cache size of fib function is 5. Increasing cache size will not result in much gain in terms of speedup. Try it with fib(35), curious what you find.

There are 1024 configurations for counting in binary, and only 11 for counting "normally". Some of those other ~1000 configurations are harder to do (like having every other finger up). Mostly stuff with your ring finger.

What's the difference? Maybe I misunderstood but isn't pooling the views and then giving money weighted by views the same thing?

I think it's (very) poorly phrased, and what they meant by "logical deductions" was algebraic simplifications. For example, if you already know x == 3 and your original "assumption" (not a great word choice here) is

I think you might have misunderstood the parent comment (since your reply is somewhat of a non sequitur). My interpretation was that "if I wear a mask, then people will assume I'm infected and give me space, which is actually just
