Interesting. I have a theory that most historic shifts are mainly due to some technological advancement or invention, and not mainly due to politics. For example, Nazi Germany may …

There is (at least) one important missing: the Simplex Algorithm, or more generally algorithms for solving linear programs (LPs). These are used every day to optimize highly comple…

Sorry, but this is another really bad comparison to Venice. These cities have nowhere near the history of Venice as a medieval trade metropolis, nor are they actually built on isla…

Whenever I read something like this I have a bad feeling about it. They are trying to get "C/C++" performance in Java by bypassing all the JVM's management and garbage collection. …

In a nutshell: to keep an index into an array of size n requires log_2(n) bits. Thus any algorithm, which keeps even just one index into the input takes Omega(log n) space. Yay for…
