Hey, I'm a SWE at Google currently hosting an eng resident. I'd encourage staying through the residency in general, but I of course don't know your specific situation. (I'm also no…

Personally, I have a password that my password manager generated that I use for it. I had it written down in my wallet for a while, but after typing it multiple times a day for a w…

3 combined with 6 sounds like a recipe for disaster if someone manages to compromise your CloudDrive account (probably not by breaking the password, but by social engineering or a …

If there's malware on your computer, it could just as easily keylog your password and one-time code the next time you try to log in to google, silently drop those packets on the fl…

Please file a bug report so that the issue can get fixed: https://code.google.com/p/end-to-end/issues/list

It's because this is an animated gif. Presumably picasa only shows the first frame.

That's just the animation -- the gif is constructed to animate displaying each block.

There's a more general proof at https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:euFgQLUCTfwJ:... that looks reasonable at a skim.

Here's perhaps an easier to understand proof. Let A be a countable set. Now, suppose that there was a surjective function (one that hits every element of P(A)) f: A -> P(A). (Note …

More details: https://www.dropbox.com/help/363/en It looks like they support any app that uses the TOTP protocol, so google authenticator, among others, works with this seamlessly.…

We also do already have some more theoretical material. For instance, I just published a Turing Machine simulation ( http://www.khanacademy.org/cs/turing-machine/938201372 ) and we…

The readme does in fact make that claim: "The Reverse State monad allows you to do the reverse: send information backwards to the past, or receive information from the future." I'm…

(Current KA intern here.) That video assumes that nonprofit jobs aren't high-paying, but that's not always the case. KA, for instance, pays competitively. If you can both have a hi…

I think that's just what you're supposed to type in. (I see that too, with JS enabled, and if you view source you can see that that was intentional based on the > and <.)

This is assuming you don't count the algorithm design and analysis class as math, or any of the "logic and languages" (Intro PL, constructive logic, Automated program verification,…

I find it somewhat strange that generating functions are introduced significantly before recurrences are (and that recurrences are introduced last!). Does anyone know why the autho…

They already do this for the camera, though I'm not sure if it's hardware or software.

I think they addressed this in the edit they made: >Correction: this post was edited on the 6 January to reflect the argument that if an n-clue grid is uniquely solvable then addin…

While this is technically true, it's one hell of a selection bias. Clearly, my ancestors all existed and got together. If they didn't, I wouldn't be reading that poster. So, I don'…
