not sure i'd lump Iran in with Venezuela here. also far too early for either to say if either will lead to a "win" whatever that means.

just read to your kids, damn

Problem solving and having the problem solved for you aren't the same thing.

it's common in math/cs theory papers to have the order of authors be alphabetical rather than in descending order of contribution.

if you see the 8 slimes, they cluster in a

    SSS
    SLS

pattern that can be rotated where the Ss are 8 strength slimes and the L is the 1 strength lich that, when killed, reveals all 8/5 strength slimes on the map. if the pattern is obvious from what you have revealed so far, it's worth it to kill the lich to give more map knowledge. but yeah, save the 8s for leveling up late game.

sbcl does it right:

* (* 1.15 100) 115.0

Killer name.

They mention in the article that Poplowski's contribution is providing a new mathematical model for this old idea.

Sweet, delicious over-fitting. What a way to start the day d;D.

How regular are HackerNews meetups in Atlanta? Is there a calendar for future ones? I'd like to go, but I'll be out of town this Thursday :|.

Agreed. It's also nice to see Xerox PARC (indirectly) pushed to the spotlight. I think a lot of CS students in my generation (and younger) are unfamiliar with all the cool stuff PARC did back in the day.

The book "Dealers of Lightning" is fantastic for anyone interested in the stories behind Xerox PARC and all the other tech achievements that happened there.

You're clearly missing the point. You don't have to look/act like a geeky girl just to be in CS. What the author looks like makes no difference.

Memory safety _can_ be compromised in a cool, albeit unlikely, scenario: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~sudhakar/papers/memerr.pdf

But for all practical purposes, you're right :)
