eccstartup··on Calculus for mathematicians (1997) [pdf]
I am amazed at seeing that the limit is defined by continuity. It is interesting.
eccstartup··on Virtual DOM in Elm
Why?
eccstartup··on Makerbook – A directory of free resources for creatives
Only a few links there?
eccstartup··on OS X 10.10.3 seems to have done something bad to wifi drivers
Quick fixing is not Apple.
eccstartup··on If 1+x is 1, how much is 1-x?
Thank you. I hope one day I will not complain about this because I find a better approach.
eccstartup··on If 1+x is 1, how much is 1-x?
No, no! If your program can't get things that even kids can do done, you are writing rubbish.
eccstartup··on If 1+x is 1, how much is 1-x?
Is this your second day seeing floating point math?
eccstartup··on If 1+x is 1, how much is 1-x?
Mathematica gives 1.

    Int[1]:= 1 - x /. Solve[1 + x == 1, x]
    Out[1]= {1}
eccstartup··on x*sin(y)
x*y is more beautiful. It is a perfect hyperbolic surface.
eccstartup··on Emacs 24.5 released
How does it compare to Aquamacs?
eccstartup··on HPC is dying, and MPI is killing it
How you guys think of Chapel? It compiles so slow.
eccstartup··on Can't you just turn up the volume?
There is a drift in the soundcloud audio. Audio goes ahead of visual wave. So I missed the last visual beep in both compresses and uncompressed version.
eccstartup··on Apple has lost the functional high ground
The first thing I have to think if I want to reinstall instead of upgrade is, how to backup MacTeX & homebrew. I have to consider if it will generate pdf documents correctly. (MacTeX is installed in /usr/texbin/) Reinstalling MacTeX is not that hard compared with reinstalling homebrew. Homebrew, though bottled most package, will take a long time compiling a version gcc with openmp support, let alone recalling who to install. And gcc is not the only thing that need a compiling job. Maybe, years later, I will follow the path of reinstalling or moving back to Linux.
eccstartup··on Apple has lost the functional high ground
If I don't listen those who provide the service, am I going to listen to you? If Apple cannot give me a good solution, why would I buy its product? I know you are good at backing up your files and reinstalling, but I don't want this stuff bother me every release like this. I am just not that free, dude.
eccstartup··on Apple has lost the functional high ground
Because AppStore told me that I can upgrade.
eccstartup··on Apple has lost the functional high ground
I don't agree with owenwil. Apple is actually making bugs release after release. It really brought pain upgrading to Yosemite, waiting the fucking hours copying files in the so-called "a few minutes". As I can recall, upgrading from 10.8 to 10.9, Preview begins to blur when scrolling, and more memory taken. Then in the release of Yosemite, MATLAB GUI won't work at first, then goes the ugly color theme for mobile devices. Few will upgrade to 10.10 if there were not Swift support.
eccstartup··on LaTeX users are slower, make more mistakes, and are happier than Word users
Now I know what kind of research is left for the stupid guys.
eccstartup··on Linus: Parallel computing is a huge waste of everybody's time
What Linus means is that "You guys are so stupid to write parallel code." Learn physics first!
eccstartup··on Air Traffic Control Simulator
No one knows there is a hyperbolic PDE out there?
eccstartup··on Streem – a new programming language from Matz
I hope it will support really big integers as in Haskell and better floating point number calculation, although I cannot foresee the power right now. Because it is concurrent, it may be very useful in scientific computing, whether in small or large scale.
eccstartup··on Obama Becomes First President to Write a Computer Program
News transfer via internet, so the programmers have the chance to show their image more than the others. Furthermore, there is no limit(I guess) what job is a job to become a president.
eccstartup··on Obama Becomes First President to Write a Computer Program
That encourages programmers to become a president.
eccstartup··on CotEditor – Text Editor for OS X
Again, I have to handle errors like:

You cannot save this document with extension “.hs” at the end of the name. The required extension is “.(null)”.

eccstartup··on CotEditor – Text Editor for OS X
Again, there are more code editors. How Cot exceeds them?
eccstartup··on CotEditor – Text Editor for OS X
I have already got one text editor, which is free, with rapid launch, but why Cot?
eccstartup··on OS X 10.10 – Source Code
swift is not open source?
eccstartup··on Write every day
Most people cannot do it everyday, but I have got a solution -- pick up everyday. It means you keep the thing you find helpful in mind and try to do it everyday. Once failed, don't be frustrated, because most people will fail. What makes sense is that someone can pick that up afterwards to become someone.
eccstartup··on Poll: Are you a drinker or a teetotaler?
80% teetotaler, 20% social drinker
eccstartup··on Hacker News for Applied Mathematicians
There is a Q&A style site

eccstartup··on Gravity Simulator
I think the simulation of the real gravity is better. Because we can find out what is the hidden magic of nature. Then there comes accuracy issue of the simulation. How to tell us that your simulation will be `correct`?
