Thats fair, but wouldn't it be more constructive to explicitly articulate that?

I'm not sure what you mean, there are several legitimate interpretation that come to mind, but could you elaborate? do you mean a) in the continuum of math that appears on, its dee…

fair enough. On that note, http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/scp91-felleisen.ps.gz is probably the best formal treatment concision in a programming language.

by Dr Scheme in my case I mean plt scheme, which is pretty nice as schemes go

maybe my sense of humor is bad, but am I correct in assuming the mars rover reference is joke?

i actually went through their interview process too, and I do agree that the questions were a joke for anyone with a real CS background, and I really think that part of the intervi…

Hahah, let me tell you how. When I'm explaining computer science to someone who wants a capsule explanation, I don't tell the "computer science studies the problem X Y and Z, along…

The thing that always confuses me about these articles is how IT and computer science get equated. Its like saying doing research in applied mathematics is great training for being…
