Hotel router does give me ip, but no acces to internet. On a hunch I open browser to the router ip, it asks for login, I give something random. It gives a helpful page that wrong password, but informs that the factory login is X and factory password is X. So I try with those, and get to the configuration pages. On another hunch I change the router's static ip to dhcp. The router reboots and: working internet connection,16.59 rating - Read in G+

I think this song is about numerical methods for stiff systems of differential equations.

First: try with explicit forward stepping methods:
"I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been"

But they are much too slow:
"I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time"

Try with implicit, iterative methods...
"I keep searching for an answer"

...that are very robust with stiff systems:
"goin' down the only road I've ever known."

Wonder what will come out of this new scientific programming language

http://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia/

At least Julia seems to be an order of magnitude faster that Python/Matlab, and about half the speed of C/C++ ( http://julialang.org/ )

Velkakriisissähän johtuu siitä että jotkut valtiot ovat ottaneet liikaa velkaa. Ja markkinat ovat (liikaa) velkaa noille valtioille antaneet. Nyt Arhinmäki haluaisi ottaa vallan markkinoilta poliitikoille. Siis että poliitikot valvoisivat etteivät markkinat enää saisi antaa poliitikoille liikaa velkaa, ymmärsinkö oikein? Mikseivät ne poliitikot voi vaan elää suu säkkiä myöten ja olla perkele ottamatta liikaa velkaa.

"mathematicians can be divided into those who like analysis, and those who like algebra."

"all of the analysts are eating corn one way and the algebraists are eating corn another"

" One way was to munch over the length of the corn in a straight line, back up, turn slightly, and do another row across. ... The other way was to go around in a spiral. All of the analysts were eating in spirals, and the algebraists in rows."

"object oriented programming is something that appeals to algebraists"

"Going the other way, if the techniques described in On Lisp appeal, then you might be on the analytic side of the fence and eat your corn in spirals."

"There was a period that I thought that the programming division might be as simple as functional versus object oriented. Then I encountered monads, and I learned that there were functional programmers who clearly were algebraists."

"I wouldn't be surprised to find out that where people fall in the emacs/vi debate is correlated with how they eat corn. I wouldn't predict a very strong correlation, but I'd expect that emacs is likely to appeal to people who would like algebra, and vi to people who like analysis."
