I wouldn’t be surprised if what happened in underground music scenes will happen in the visual arts: a lot of pioneering electronic music (eg techno & house) exists completely off …

For anyone interested in seeing this in the context of statistical decision theory, see the final page of this lecture notes pdf: http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~siva/705/lec16.pdf In par…

If anyone is interested in topics like this and wants to delve some more into the mathematics, I’d highly recommend Tim Roughgarden’s lecture series on Algortihmic Game Theory: htt…

That doesn’t show a graphical element of when the reminder is scheduled to occur at, as far as I can tell. But that is the type of distinction I’m thinking of: event vs reminder

Some calendars (google, native mac) allow for events that have 0 time, but they are displayed as a block of time on the calendar instead of a single horizontal line (when I look at…

Suppose there is a fixed deadline for submitting a report at 13:00. I have spent the last 2 hours looking at various calendar apps and it seems that almost every app forces me to t…

I'm an Electronic Engineer at a top US research school and I have an 11 year old sister (I'm 22). She is smart and quite good at math for her age and is a solid rational thinker. U…

That makes a lot of sense as to why there doesn't seem to be a "Bible" for java - thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look at it

I have moderate experience with java (did a intro to AI class in school and all the practical work was in java) but I only picked up the language in that class (which wasn't a clas…

I think I am in quite a similar position to you: after secondary school here in Ireland, I didn't consider any universities outside of my home town (pretty much because I didn't kn…
