It's not useful to transmit light through air; instead waveguides are used[0]. I don't know all the benefits, but I imagine trying to keep a path through space for light beams to travel is harder than using a waveguide. In that case, mirrors are useless. You can think of a waveguide as being a highly engineered mirror, really. However, the turning radius of a fiber-optic beam isn't great, and apparently this is an improvement on that.

I remember reading that they figured out that photosynthesis' energy transport operates at the quantum level. whatever that means -- but I think that means that photosynthesis is way more complex than we can currently figure out.
DeMotivators: The Hidden Costs
And here we have issues of ordering and uniqueness. There are multiple sequences that correspond to any one point, and in the countably infinite construction, there are points that have no sequence. This is not to say that the first definition is invalid or that the second definition is invalid.

It is possible to construct an infinite set that does not contain certain numbers. For example, if the coordinate (1/pi, 1/2) were excluded.

In some ways, what is being described at the end is, instead of a fully-filled screen, something that looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_number#/media/File:Al...
Great. The thing I like is that you get maximum flexibility, and good web interface. For example: I run a mail server which handles mail for some subdomains, and the root domain mail I route through them. Every time I give an email out to a company, I name it company-name@one-of-many-short-fastmail-domains.com. I never have to worry about spam from those email address, as I can filter and cycle those at will.
Part of the problem talks about the solution.

The real problem for a small company mail server isn't setting up a respectably secure operation: set up SPF and DKIM and you're good to go. The problem is maintaining deliverability for anything more than very casual usage of mail into a very complicated ecosystem. At any point in time a random switch can flip on some heuristic somewhere and suddenly a large mail provider will reject you, or you're on a blacklist that provides no explanation or ability to remove your mails, and that isn't isolated: it will spread throughout the ecosystem, and leave a stain that can linger for a long time.

I've run a few-thousand person newsletter mail list for more than ten years, and fairly recently switched to SES because it's simply not possible to guarantee deliverability even at that modest scale running it yourself from your own servers. If you're not hooked into the ecosystem then you have to fight ongoing battles that only a professional in the mail deliverability business has time and connections to understand and effectively win.

Even then, you have to be very careful: don't mention sums of money (e.g. censor all discussion of research funding), don't trigger dumb spamassassin rules (e.g. sentences with lots of long words in a scientific paper), don't talk about known trigger words (e.g. no scientific articles on the role of growth hormone in mouse aging) and so forth.

It is crazy. The absolutely rational response to all of this is to outsource mail delivery.
The bad ISP in question is the People's Republic of China.
Well my argument is that there is a trivial bijection between the disjoint sets and the parallel lines/points.

Do you have a counterargument? I admit I might be making a fundamental mistake but you're going to have to show where.

Knowing the formula is important even if you are going to let a computer deal with actually computing roots from coefficients you give it, because you can look at the formula and get insight into how changes to the coefficients affect the roots.

In real life applications, we are often not simply presented with coefficients and required to accept the consequences. The coefficients are often the parameters we get to control in order to achieve a desired outcome.

Yeah I didn't mean they don't trap you often, rather they don't have to use it that often--certainly not prosecute it often--and therefore the guy doesn't see it that often.

I should have made my opinion more clear, judging by the downvotes.
I edited my post while you wrote this reply.

Edit: And by the way, the immediate direction I'm walking you into with that edit is that, if for some a < b, (a,b) is one of your pixels, then there are no pixel boundaries in that interval (a,b), unless your pixels overlap.
I agree. I'm the opposite: a very experienced embedded developer but relatively new to web development (though my BBB is currently serving up a page monitoring my mechanical room).

It's like pulling teeth to find out any but the most basic specs of the BBB. I haven't used it much because a lot of what I wanted to do would have required so much experimentation to figure out stuff that should already have been documented. I just don't have that kind of time these days.

Yeah, screaming is a touch heavy. I should have just said drop my head in sadness. And that I lost a little more hope from the industry.

It is funny that this would lead to meditation, as there is a good parable that seems appropriate here.[1] Not all fads are processes, and I'm sure there is a "truly immutable patterns don't have this problem" hiding somewhere.

I think the idea is that the data is never decrypted until it returns to the client. i.e. it's encrypted client side while being indexable server side.

This means that your 'evil admin' case is invalidated since the plaintext data is never available to the host.

Robert Harper has a great introductory(1) book on the matter

You should have a reasonably complete treatment of what you are looking for by the time you reach the chapter on PCF.

http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Foundations-Programming-Lang...

1: I call it "introductory" because many of the relevant proofs are left as an exercise to the reader. But truthfully, people I've spoken to with a direct influence on the book have mentioned many a time that harper excludes them because he expects you to know them or be able to figure them...
So the database itself doesn't have much to do with encryption, except that it can help w indexing.
Is there really room for one million people to have a chain store? Who would shop at all of those chains?

I would assert that a recent graduate who wants to be an entrepreneur is mostly doing themselves a disservice by studying those things. It focuses your thoughts on how to run a business rather than how to solve a problem or turn an industry on its head.

Sure, many of those things could come in handy in the future - but there are far more difficult things which you also have to learn "as you go".

"Infinitely smaller"....? That's horrible scientific reporting!
I don't get it. If you have a headline that forces you to actually read the article to find out what it's talking about, or what the answer is, then people complain about "click bait".

If you use some kind of predictable cliché for your title, then articles like "Is X the new most dangerous thing?" isn't clickbait anymore - it's just "X is not the most dangerous thing (contrary to whatever belief/myth/contemporary opinion)". It's predictable and straightforward. And yet, that's apparently yet another reason for people to complain.
This is probably a crazy idea: drink less soda.

It compares 9 nodes of Couchbase Server to 9 nodes of MongoDB. Couchbase Server reads and writes to every node, but MongoDB only reads and writes to primary nodes. That's the problem with active/passive topologies. MongoDB can read from secondary nodes but only if a) you don't require strong consistency or b) you don't mind degrading write performance - it would have to replicate to all secondaries nodes before the write finishes.
I like how you quoted the word that you misspelled on the second line
No one prevents you to use immutable structures in OOP.

Getting some help from language is nice, but after 10+ years of programming all those patterns (e.g. immutable) become so natural, that you don't really think much about them. Because you know what data structure you want, and see what language offers you. So the whole "which language" deal doesn't make so much difference (although it's easier/harder in some languages). Tooling/libs and community matters way more.

What counts as human rights is subjective. The UN says that it is a human right to receive and express opinions through any medium.

I'd argue that if an employer cares about public repo commits to personal repositories, one is probably better off not working for them (at least from my perspective of an ideal employer). If an employer thinks all their developers are infallible and instantly experts in everything they're learning, that sounds like a pretty awful culture. I know I've made silly/trivial commits to my github and it has yet to hurt my employability. I'd much rather work for a company that knows its employees aren't perfect and development can be a trial/error process at times (these kind of places do exist and I live and work in the Mid Western US).

I do agree somewhat about game scrutinization, since it's active process by an employer verses employers passively looking at your github profile.

Compound knowledge works in maths, because of the solidity of proofs. You don't wake up one day and find that you need to update all your existing proofs to Axiom Of Choice 11.3.5 in order to fix a critical security bug.

Programming has weak versions of this: if all your libraries typecheck, then you can write a typecheckable program with them.

Functional languages get a lot closer to reliable composition, but things that modify state are a lot harder to reason about because the state space just explodes. And you can of course write in Coq or do formal verification in Z - it's just much more time-consuming. As an industry we'd rather get to market first than get the product 100% reliable.
SYRIZA is extreme in that it appears not to live in a proper economic reality. They can not keep the promises they made in the election by forcing the EU to loan them money on Greece's terms.

It's also telling that having spent several years in the world's best business schools in addition to extensive years of management experience, top CEOs are quite happy hiring McKinsey to assign fresh graduates to undertake critical analysis and make recommendations for them. If there are research projects ideally suited to those with exceptional academic pedigree and the CEOs choose to delegate them to commodity smart-kids instead, it's a pretty good indication they're not convinced their academic experience was all that meaningful.

I have realized that we learn a lot of things during our lives.
I for example know more physics and chemistry than a scientist(just kidding, but I do know a lot). Some of us have gathered this knowledge accidentally, forced by the educational system or we were really passionate about it. Now all this knowledge stays there for some time and then unfortunately is replaced by other things(ex.lyrics of songs on the ads).
Each one of us knows something better then the others around. And everyone wants to learn something. What do you think about this?

Well it's the non-overlapping pixels that are the interesting case, so let's stick with those. So no a and b, just a. Then I suppose my first attempt to define a pixel would be the zero-width area stating at a, non-inclusive. So the zero width area starting at 3/8, non-inclusive.

Is that fundamentally flawed? (Probably. Edit 2: I mean seriously I have no idea how to handle ranges that are infinitely small. But they clearly exist in some form, I can look at the set of irrational numbers...)

Yes, in this context. It doesn't really matter if it's k/2^n or any rational, but for consistency's sake let's stick with k/2^n dividers.

Edit: How about this. Is it meaningful to talk about rounding reals to the nearest rational? If not, why not?
