I spent a term at Cambridge in Electrical Engineering. Our tutorial sessions were very similar to recitations in America and classes still had traditional lectures. I'm not sure if…

I would imagine permanent punishments would just cause companies to dissolve and reform through some paperwork acrobatics (similar to bankruptcy processes like New GM).

Grad students are cheaper than a robot.

How are the results sorted? When I search "Spider-man", the first result is Boomerang, and none of the results on the first page are for the Peter Parker Spider-man (result #2 is B…

Guess, I got lucky, haha. I should probably go back to challenge 2 and learn how to program these then.

I got to Challenge #5 by just having the elevators go to every floor like in the first example. It'd be nice to have an earlier challenge with only a single elevator force you to h…

Does it speed up or end eventually? I stored up 150 seconds left before I decided to quit (score of 2529).

11 pounds is light by military standards.

Yes, too underwhelming to catch on as much as Gladwell's interpretation has. However, it actually makes an important point: even if you're talented, it requires practice to really …

I thought that the original study was just showing a correlation. That is, that experts typically had 10,000 hours of practice into their field of expertise. People have claimed ca…

I did relatively little reading when I was playing WoW hardcore. Although quests had a load of flavor text, I would just key in on the how many and what I had to kill.

On the other hand, I don't really see the need for stores to be unique. I go to stores to buy things. If they have what I need, that works for me. I think it's easy to associate bi…

As written, that INIT section is really going to limit clock speed. I also don't understand why currentState is double clocked.

It sounds feasible, but I believe you would also have to augment data values in memory with this type. Every 32 bits in memory would also need a few bits associated with it for typ…

I was a college student during this time. I feel like people my age all ended up proficient at typing because of instant messenging (not just the "computer guys"). It was my prefer…

Ah, right. id is the first thing I think of with Carmack. I'd forgotten about Armadillo.

... who is in software development?

Boosted is using Loaded longboards which are high-quality longboards. As a longboarder, it gives me confidence that the board will be fun to ride as opposed to being just a plank o…

15 feet sounds pretty deep to dig to install something like this. Any idea what the temperature is like 2-4 feet?

50 meters is the difference between making it and having to push the car to make it. It'd make for a funny story, but you're not going to be kicking yourself for leaving the displa…

My experience in the US is the same. 9-5 is just a saying. More typically a work day is 9-6 or 8-5 to account for a 1 hour non-paid lunch.

High level synthesis for C is not quite there yet to be used as a replacement for Verilog or VHDL, especially for high performance hardware. Verilog and VHDL are still commonly use…

That might just be the weight that it can life from low to high height. It might be able to still support more than that when static. It would be good to know what it can support s…
