Ugh. I spent too much time today and yesterday doing grading. I shouldn’t be this slow at it. Here’s the general process: Look at 5–10 submissions and note what are the most common errors. From this, a rubric can be generated. Then, comb through all assignments and dock points according to the rubric. Even after […] Today, Howard Rheingold was searching for examples of clear posts in which to use as examples of online communication. One of the respondents identified a really good series set of descriptions answering the question, What is it like to have an understanding of very advanced mathematics? (Interestingly Terry Tau is referenced quite often.) That reminded […] Even though extroverts make up the majority of people on this pale blue dot, I happen to feel comfortably at home in academia. The profession seems overwhelmed with introverts. It’s not as if we are shy, or afraid of interaction, or uncomfortable around people. Rather it’s that we prefer the quiet solitude of our own […] Back when my interest in teaching was only just a spark on the kindling of my brain, I started to investigate the tricks of communication. Up to that point in my life I had completely underestimated the importance of communication. I thought, as any myopic engineer would, that sound ideas will speak of their own […] This post is part of a seres: The Good IR (BasicBlocks and control flow instructions) The Good IR: Other Control Flow Structures The Good IR: Instructions and Values The Good IR: Reporting Semantic Errors via Type Checking The Good IR: Multiple Returns —– Why Have Early Returns?

Things like Scheduling, Register Allocation, Routing packages, etc. In solving these really hard problems, we invent heuristics. Typically such heuristics are specific to the problem domain. For example, UPS might exploit certain characteristic about the geographical layout of the country; they face a certain subset […] How the Public Schools Keep Your Child a Prisoner of the State by Karen De Coster, has a few interesting links about how public schools act like prisons for both mind and body. A really well researched article on equality via the school system: “Compulsory schooling not only fails to achieve its egalitarian goal, but […] |
