this is neat, but the AP CS A ("AP Java") curriculum and test is extremely boring, and primarily tests for ability to write very basic Java programs using pencil & paper. I think the college board threw out the actual computer

how is this relevant to OP's concern? most software engineers today are employed to solve unsolved mathematical and computer science problems or IMO-style problems.

Hi, some of us try to compete in AoC. For me that is part of the fun. In several previous years I have rescheduled things so I can stay up until the problems are released in my time zone to see how high on the leaderboard I could get. It is

Why is it unreasonable to have people in a government agency to address fraudulent colleges and stuff? Do you feel the same way about the bureau of consumer protection in the US FTC?

It is very common for water projects. I think it comes from reservoirs, since the area is measured in acres and the depth in feet.

NASA and contractors are also leveraging decades of research and billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars put into this industry already, or have the same opportunity for leverage and are failing to effectively leverage it.

Now do the cost for SLS based on the total cost to date for NASA and all contractors since inception, including the costs for Apollo and the shuttle. This is not just inflated, it’s 100% bogus - this is not a reasonable way to estimate deve

Where did you get this $37 billion number? I don’t think SpaceX has had $37B of investment or revenue. The only figure for the development cost i can find online is “more than $500 million.” From https://www.cnbc.com/2019&#x

[possibly spoilers, beware] > What I've loved about Sanderson is the plot turns are never Ex Machina. Every new development fits inside the rules of the world and deepens your understanding of what can be. YMMV. I quite like Sanders

CA’s grid certainly has problems today. You refer to issues that are all within the past five years, not decades. The last significant problems before these were in 2000 & 2001, which were due to artificial shortages created by Enron, n

In my experience, the “oh it fails randomly sometimes” bugs are often in some random dull legacy infrastructure component where there is zero attention or celebration for fixing them, and so engineers tend to tolerate losing a bit of time o
