Selecting an approachable problem is also a skill that more experienced people have and often the younger people don't. Some problems are just not ready to be tackled because the field hasn't developed for it yet. It is a risk fac

If you want to understand algorithms, you need a computer science curriculum, not a mathematical curriculum. Also, unfortunately, its not the recommended order to learn them in.

I see. Well, you have a point, but the OP did specifically ask for a plan like that Susan Fowler's blog post. And I am an applied mathematician working mostly on computational physics and I can attest to the requirements I mentioned. B

This is terrible advice. Apart from the last sentence. A better advice would be to specify which subject to learn. For example, (since I don't really have much time) 1. Topology (book by Munkres) 2. Real Analysis and Measure Theory (bo

With proper use of constexpr, templates and types, you can make C++ at least as fast as C code without giving up on readability.

In short, the two fields just look similar, but are actually extremely different fields. Physical simulations need to preserve entropy, maximum principle, energy conservation and other kinds of conservation, preservation of consistent state

Liberalism is always against an axis. As such, there are two different factors in liberalism, Social and Economic. The so-called liberals in America Liberals are socially liberal but economically conservative. While American conservatives

In Europe, the wired broadbands are cheap and fast. In India, there is no hope for cheap and fast wired broadband due to poor planning. Hence the craze for 4G. Also, the rates are marginal. For a long time, the rates induced loss for compan

Just because someone can use a software does not mean they can/will pay for it. In other words, you'll can only earn money if your customers are rich.

Such systems also most likely are not vulnerable to Meltdown/Spectre.

What I've observed in Europe is that there are huge amount of small companies instead of one big one. While big and powerful companies might be important on global scale. I suspect that on a more local scale, it is the large number of

how do you integrate neovim clipboard with system one? I use KDE/X11 although I do not think that should be relevant.

I think you have already done a huge amount in the course. You should keep your mind open to the possibility that the students just found the topic of database to be dry inspite of your presentation. It is quite possible that those people w

Why do you say that the standard liberal belief is in heavy regulation of business? Liberal economics emphasize minimal regulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_liberalism

I am using it on Linux and I was very wary in the starting, but then it works so smooth, it is my preferred manner of video call instead of hangouts.

Point. Somehow, I have seen quotes from HP which were always much cheaper. May be it is because my employer had some sort of deal? Also, proliant servers were somehow cheaper than towers. Again I am not sure how, but yes, point taken.

If you buy a workstation from HP/Supermicro, then you get something much more powerful for the same price. So, to say, they are very close is not very correct. The problem here is that the assembled PC is a customer PC assembled for wo

Yes, hence my question. I have tried to setup a HTTPS service and it seems incredibly complicated if you have your own domain name. Even with lets encrypt, if you are using github pages for hosting but your own custom domain, you are out of

It's not about that guy's blog. This causes desensitization to non-HTTPS traffic and when people then actually visit non-HTTPS malicious blog, they get infected. If all "trusted" websites were HTTPS, then whenever there

The website serves JS and does not serve it over https, and discusses Spectre bug and how to patch it. I know he is the second most important guy on linux, but the irony.

It's ridiculously easy to apply a method which is not applicable if you are not at least a little aware of the theory behind it. You will get wrong results and you will never know why. The wrong results might never be found out because

Its a subscription magazine. So, Patreon will be useful for people who do not really want to read the magazine but donate the money anyway. Not sure how that would work.

I agree with almost all the points apart from transparency. Transparency is not customization. Transparency is basically like, you search something google returns something, and then there is a link which tells you why google returned what
