I think this web page is really superficial, contain some factual error, and miss the important points. - impedance has nothing do to with power. A watt is a watt, impedance is only the ratio between current and voltage. The misconception c

That's not really her point, she says "even professional electrician" and so on, she adopt a very of moral approach and I am not very fond of moral. It's a substantial risk of death only if you doing it wrong. I mean, th

About parcoursup, nobody really knows up to my knowledge. About the tuition for foreigner, very few university applied it, and it has been declared unconstitutional by the "conseil constitutionnel" (it's kind of the french su

It's a moral obligation, yes. Plus, it's still nowadays a very powerful lever to keep relationship with local elites.

It's funny because I could write a "viewing probability graphs as matrices" For me, probabilities are graphs, and matricess is just a way to represent those.

Macron is NOT socialist (he told it himself) (Well, to be fair, he also told that he was (cf youtube link for both)). He's pure and simple right-wing. He believe that we should let the market treat workers as they please. That's w

Dont let the name "parti socialiste" fools you, it was once a socialist party, but in the early 80's, it became social liberal, and during the 00's, just liberal. And not the "nice boss liberal" one, no, the pr

I see the point and it is interesting, it's just not big O ^^ If I replace in my head all O(thing) by MyCustomComplexityMeasureYetToBeDefinedProperly(thing) then it makes perfect sens.

I am sorry... but no, the article is interesting and well written, but it has nothing to do with big O notation. Random access in memory is still in O(1), it doesn't depend on the size of the data structure (I am assuming that is the &
