  1. Ooh, thanks! Although I guess it's testimony to how much I spend in unproductive RSS time...

  2. You are welcome. And thanks for not pointing out my stupid spelling idiocy--now corrected. (My only excuse was that I tried this posting from a crappy mobile phone connection.)

    What do you mean by unproductive RSS time? I don't think your page is searchable (is it?) so your friday links can't be seen altogether (can they?).

  3. I missed the typo. Unproductive RSS time is basically just reading blogs in my reader instead of doing something else. Same thing you complained about in losing productivity on Friday from these links -- but since this represents my reading throughout the week, all my days are like that!

    I've hidden the search box, I might add it back when I next have time to mess around with the sidebar features.

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line

Nuestras horas son minutos cuando esperamos saber y siglos cuando sabemos lo que se puede aprender.
(Our hours are minutes when we wait to learn and centuries when we know what is to be learnt.) --António Machado

Αγεωμέτρητος μηδείς εισίτω.
(Those who do not know geometry may not enter.) --Plato

Sapere Aude! Habe Muth, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen!
(Dare to know! Have courage to use your own reason!) --Kant
