I think rigor is imposing to people when you try and combine it with high-level theory. The concepts in that article are built on top of so much theory, that to explain it all would require the equivalent of a course on analysis. But if you

I don't see much use out of either other than as a line on a resume. With that in mind, I'd choose IEEE - more well known than ACM. (And if you're getting the type of membership providing access to research libraries, IEEE will cover a far

The comment that the link leads directly to is devastatingly good. If you don't want to do a lot of reading, just skip the main article and read that comment.

Yes. Completely happy. As everyone else said, the export to pdf is great.

No. I think SAT score would be correlated with IQ, but not too strongly on its own (many not particularly brilliant people get high scores by preparing excessively). I think measured IQ and family income would, together, be quite good predi

But presumably average score for each group is used. I wouldn't think the difference in average score between the 200k group, and the 220k+ group would be great enough to cause that (and I don't think there'd be too many data points the far

I thought the same, which caused me to click on the link they used as reference, which turned out not to work... <insert eyebrow raised emoticon here>

The only wierd thing to me is that the strength of the relationship appears to gradually weaken as income gets higher (which would make sense), but then sort of jumps up at $200,000. That's surprising, I would have thought the highest would

Yeah, good point, my advice is not particularly general. I guess I should also add, I've found most things not particularly enjoyable until I get a minimum level of skill. So if your a complete beginner jumping in for 10 hrs at a time might

EDIT: ugh, this is not working right. I can't figure out how to get the asterisks to not italicize ( I was trying to show an example). Variables have block scope, but storage duration need not. If you return a pointer to a block of memory a

In my experience, LONG practice sessions are much more effective than short ones. E.g., I've found I get far more out of one 8 hour practice session than four 2 hour sessions. I'd also say you need to do it intensely - you've got to be into

Thanks for elaborating. I strongly recommend you find a trusted friend/family member/mentor/etc. to talk with about your concerns. It's really difficult to get a handle on a situation as complex as what you've described without knowing you

Also... Arrays have block scope. So if you have a function that declares an array, operates on it, then returns a pointer to that array, it's undefined behaviour. This was very confusing to me when I learned C because it's one of those unde

But most people, IMO, do not think deeply about morality, they just mimic others around them. I guess that would still apply to what you said though - it would take a very complex algorithm to come up with the optimal set of beliefs to mini

What did you do that was supposed to be "impossible"? What do you mean by "attacked"? (Phyiscally?) "Controversies"? The whole thing is very vague. :-)

I highly, highly recommend the book "Programming from the Ground Up". It is freely available, and full of small asm sample programs to try out yourself. Here's a link: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pgubook/

No one said otherwise.

With the exception of solving integrals, diff eqs, or other CAS things, is Wolfram Alpha particularly useful when you'd have google at your disposal? I would think no, but that's just my experience.

It's good writing I guess, but honestly they're trying too hard. It just sounds fake to be that over the top.

How the heck is a preference in who you date "racism"? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People have strong preferences over all sorts of superficial things - body type, hair color, hair style, breast size, height, etc. Is it real

This sounds interesting. I've had a few unusual diets in the past, and found packing lunches the hardest part. What types of things do you take if you need to carry a lunch with you?

I love comedy, and would love to give it a try myself but (a) my sense of humour is very unusual and there's many things I laugh at hysterically that most people don't get, and (b) would be too nervous (sober anyways!). An example of (a), I

I've looked into it before. I concluded that it was not feasible unless you have an enormous amount of money (several hundred thousand) to invest as principal. I think poker bots have a way better risk:return ratio.

"Sue dough". For a long time I didn't realize it was an abbreviation for "super-user do", and by the time I did "sue dough" was stuck in my head.

I use a kneeling char (like Lisa Simpson has). It takes getting used to, but once your back, thighs, and stomach muscles have adjusted it feels really good.

Who says healthy food is more expensive? For $20 I can get enough bananas, oatmeal, tuna, eggs, and cucumbers to last me a week (easily). What's expensive is the great tasting healthy stuff - lean chicken breasts, sushi, good cuts of steak,
