There is (was?) also Gnokii [1] for old Nokia phones, which I've used successfully. I even managed to port a small part of it to Arduino to send a message automatically (code [2] and write-up [3]), but these days there are shields with

Thanks for this! It's really hard to browse/search for MOOCs. That said, looking at your site now it does seem to have a problem with courses being listed as "always available". A couple of examples: [1] https:/&#x

It can, but it is highly non-trivial. Here are a couple of 2015 papers on OpenSSL verification from the same group at Princeton: SHA verification (ACM TOPLAS): https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/papers/verif-sha.p

There is also this (unrelated) repository for doing more hardware-oriented hacks (i.e. programming the microcontroller): https://github.com/dekuNukem/Amazon_Dash_Button Edit: Just saw that this was also posted in this

Because it had been posted over a year ago prior to being posted a week ago. And yes, you are right in pointing out that the same person submitted it twice in two days, but the first time it appears that nobody saw it. IMO, this is within t

Sorry if this is not the correct way to phrase this, but why post this again when it was on the front page less than a week ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9938893

Not related to this year's competition, but you may also be interested in the hall of fame [1], which contains many well-known names. [1] https://www.imo-official.org/hall.aspx

My anecdotal experience is that most may start with math for their first degree, but then (or during) pivot to some related but more applied area like CS, Econ, etc.

His Philosophy-Complexity paper is also fantastic, in case you have not read it already: http://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/philos.pdf It has also been discussed most recently here: https://news.ycombinator

The idea is that as time goes by, computers become twice as fast (Moore's law), but problems also become twice as big. With a quadratic algorithm, you will need twice as much time to solve the problems of the bigger size, even on the f

I think this whole argument is silly. I really do not think one is fundamentally better than the other. Factor of 2 constants will exist no matter which one you choose. Might as well go with pau http://xkcd.com/1292/

That's not what I was referring to though. I was talking about how detecting the EURion constellation causes Photoshop and printers to not work. I do not know how guns are manufactured, but from the comments in this and earlier discuss
