There is (was?) also Gnokii [1] for old Nokia phones, which I've used successfully. I even managed to port a small part of it to Arduino to send a message automatically (code [2] a…

Thanks for this! It's really hard to browse/search for MOOCs. That said, looking at your site now it does seem to have a problem with courses being listed as "always available". A …

It can, but it is highly non-trivial. Here are a couple of 2015 papers on OpenSSL verification from the same group at Princeton: SHA verification (ACM TOPLAS): https://www.cs.princ…

There is also this (unrelated) repository for doing more hardware-oriented hacks (i.e. programming the microcontroller): https://github.com/dekuNukem/Amazon_Dash_Button Edit: Just …

Because it had been posted over a year ago prior to being posted a week ago. And yes, you are right in pointing out that the same person submitted it twice in two days, but the fir…

Sorry if this is not the correct way to phrase this, but why post this again when it was on the front page less than a week ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9938893

On a more serious note, targeted ads when implemented incorrectly can lead to privacy violations by leaking information about the viewer of the ad: http://theory.stanford.edu/~koro…

Not related to this year's competition, but you may also be interested in the hall of fame [1], which contains many well-known names. [1] https://www.imo-official.org/hall.aspx

My anecdotal experience is that most may start with math for their first degree, but then (or during) pivot to some related but more applied area like CS, Econ, etc.

His Philosophy-Complexity paper is also fantastic, in case you have not read it already: http://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/philos.pdf It has also been discussed most recently her…

With the 2014 Scottish Referendum [1] and with the 2015 Greek Referendum [2], opinion polls indicated that results might be "close" (say around 4%), but the former ended with a 10.…

The idea is that as time goes by, computers become twice as fast (Moore's law), but problems also become twice as big. With a quadratic algorithm, you will need twice as much time …

I think this whole argument is silly. I really do not think one is fundamentally better than the other. Factor of 2 constants will exist no matter which one you choose. Might as we…

That's not what I was referring to though. I was talking about how detecting the EURion constellation causes Photoshop and printers to not work. I do not know how guns are manufact…

Setting aside legality and technical issues for a second, in some respects this seems similar to regular printing of currency bills: I find it very likely that the (any?) governmen…
