Definitely going to take a look at that! Our foundation with respect to distributed systems isn't really formally rigid (I'm still trying to understand how Raft and Paxos work) and looking at this will probably help a lot!

A course designed around using a particular "modern" web technology stack will have to change too often (every time it doesn't become "modern" anymore) for it to be sustainable. Imagine that in 2016 you have a cours

It will be interesting to see how this fact will come up in legislative discussions. Has it happened before -- that so many people ended up relying on a single corporations that the corporation needed to take on special obligations?

That's also true, but you still see a ton of ex-academic physicists on Wall Street.

Despite any implementation problems, I don't believe that someone should have a worse chance of keeping their life in the face of disease just because they are not as wealthy. That alone means that society is considering some people&#x

Competing at the top level of any sport (athletic, mental, or otherwise) requires the right training and support almost as much as the right mindset, work ethic, and talent. The training and support requires time and money. At present, peop

Reading the full text, I can't help but notice the mention of "Episodic" meaningfulness, which means that meaningfulness peaks at certain times rather than being present at a constant level throughout. Does this apply to the

Anecdotally, I feel that it's mostly because of stereotypes that nerds are socially awkward. In American culture, there's a lot of emphasis on being popular.

They do measure that, and they also measure +/- for a similar purpose.

This comment completely glosses over the cases of people who can be pushing the button but can be affected by circumstances that they really can't control (like a mental illness). To say that they deserve to die for the sake of "n

One of the labs in my school's second intro to CS course does some paper computer stuff, and I found it pretty fascinating. http://www.ugrad.cs.ubc.ca/~cs121/2015W2/Labs/Lab9/lab9.pdf http:/&#

It's mostly about the user experience of the follower, I think (more than the fact that the stories go away after 24 hours). Snapchat allows a follower to consume all of the stories that they follow in a single stream. You only have to

Incredibly well written and I definitely didn't expect to learn so much.

I have a feeling that a lot of the advances of the Golden Quarter have a lot to do with the Cold War. Parties on both sides of the war were pushed to create progress in order to best those on the other side. That kind of fierce competition

Does working toward your side projects without necessarily writing code count? There are some days where I devote myself to figuring out something on my system that's essential for my side project, and those days I don't necessari

I still think that if you live in a large city that it's unsafe to let your kid ride on the bus by themselves too early. I might be totally wrong in using this analogy, but just because it's statistically unlikely that I will die

Honestly my answer to this is a bit more complex than the poll, and is best described as I'm not sure. Here's my two cents: if an intelligent being created the universe, then what makes you think it cares about our feelings like r
