I'm hesitant to bring this up since you seem much more informed about this topic, but your statement "Thuen admitted copying at least some components from 'Sophia'" seems to contra…

Sorry if this is obvious, but: read books. A good place to start is here: http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/3253/what-books-... There was another reading list that I reme…

Not mentioned in the article is that the Stacks Project is on github https://github.com/stacks I've always thought that math books should in digraph rather than linear form. What w…

This article has way too many words and not enough math. There is, in fact, nothing scary about big O notation once you dissect it, and it's a shame that so many people seem to thi…

It first clicked for me when reading Barr and Wells' Category Theory for Computing Science [0], but I don't know about your mathematical background. Category theory is algebra, so …

I tried to switch to Colemak once, but it was too big of a change. I did, however, successfully switch to an alternative of the Carpalx QWKRFY layout: http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx…

I was able to find some sources. The first is this article: http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/high-performance-... . > Easy-to-use computer systems, as we conventionally u…

> Engelbart hated our present-day systems. I'm not trying to say "[citation needed]" here, but I would be interested in seeing a source for this. Does anyone know of one?

I don't know how extensive Unicode math symbols are, but it's unclear to me how you would display things like matrices and do alignment of multiline equations.

It depends on the type of article. I write a lot of blog posts about math. The most convenient way to do this is using Mathjax. If browsers had native support for mathematical nota…

I had an insight a few months back when I was looking at djb's website ( http://cr.yp.to/djb.html ). I was spending far too much time playing with toys (static site generators) and…

The hardware content in this book is not sufficiently detailed for computer engineering. It's really for CS students who want to understand roughly how computers are made. (This is…

It sounds like you have a "fixed mindset" as opposed to a "growth mindset". You worry that you are not as skilled at X as you might like to be, but your focus should simply be cons…

Indeed, but it won't even accept the following O(n) solution. I get "(stopped after 20 steps to prevent possible infinite loop)" when submitting this: def maxPairSum(lst): if lst[0…
