ooh... it just hit me... PR == pull request == public relations

All bases are base 10

When I first came across the Heaviside function, I actually thought it was named as such due to its heavy side. It was only about a year later, that I realized -- "Why would they spell Heavy wrong? I need to Google this..." and found out about Oliver Heaviside

So are the "Head First" series of books. I would definitely recommend taking a look at them :)

Thanks :)

For the UI and for displaying the generated fractal itself, I have used openCV

Well, at least it wasn't as bad as what happened here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207549

In short, don't go for it because it is a fad. Over time, like the _data scientist_ buzzword, this too shall become something everyone can do. It is what you can do with Deep Learning that matters, and where you can push beyond this.

Is it just me, or is this just an extremely convoluted way of doing things?

I know it says it is a trick, but I'm not sure I completely get it.

The idea of using `consecutive numbers are coprime` as the sole property for this concise proof is quite remarkable.

I would definitely be interested to know if there are any other such simple proofs exist for other theorems. (i.e. ones where a new proof simplifies it massively by using a simpler property).

The author of this software (Philip Guo) has written a book called "The Ph.D. Grind" (available at http://www.pgbovine.net/PhD-memoir.htm) where, in one of the chapters, he describes how he ended up making this piece of software as part of his Ph.D.

The book is a nice read.

May this year see you writing many many negative lines of code :)

Seriously, simplifying any code I write is probably gonna be my resolution for this year.

> As security people like to say, “put all your eggs in one basket and stick the basket in Fort Knox”

I'm not so sure I want to do that. The point is, even that single Fort Knox can be breached at some point, and if it is, then everything is lost.

I agree that nowadays, email is almost unanimously the way to verify a password reset, and hence all your eggs are already in one basket, but shouldn't there be further protections?

> There are many more keyboard shortcuts in Wireshark 2. The full list of those shortcuts can be found from the "Help" menu. In addition, individual windows have their own shortcuts, which can be listed from the window itself.

More keyboard shortcuts always makes me happy. Less usage of that tiny little touchpad on my laptop.

I know IPython gives this and a bunch of neat stuff, but sometimes, you just want to work with the good ol' interpreter from your terminal.

> The last people with jobs will be AI programmers

Geohotz makes a decent point. The way the industrial revolution reduced manual labour, and made thinkers and tinkerers much more valuable, the advent of AI (true AI, mind you, not the tiny stuff that we currently assume) might actually make us obsolete. It is a peaceful and yet terrifying thought.

> I suspect that he [Dennis Ritchie] invented a syntax, wrote code for it, which turned out to be more complicated than he had expected. And that was eventually standardized by the ANSI committee. It's hard to implement a standardized language because you have to get everything right. It's rather easy to write your own toy language.

Love those lines

I like this one:

What is the following rhyme about?

Thirty days has September,

April, June and no wonder,

All the rest have peanut butter,

Except my grandmother who has a little red tricycle.

A. Family relationships B. Calendar C. Food D. Exercise

Not sure how long it'd stay viable though.

Biggest takeaways from the video (in my opinion):

- "Notation matters"

- "Start with domain specific languages [like regex/AMPL/etc], rather than big general purpose ones - don't build the next C++"
