True | noumuon | null | on the real line, -inf and +inf are not a single point. they're not points on this number line at all, and you need a compactification of the real line to get the single idealized point of infinity. when you do have the single point at infinity, 1/x becomes bijective. it's not a field, but it has a very well known geometry. it's also not well-ordered, as a>b and b>a are both true. this is why i specified the inequalities above as being under order of the reals, as it's still possible to talk about numbers in this geometry with the ordering of the reals (and so of course on images of any map C+ -> R^ , such as the modulus in my above comment).
further, since we're talking about the mandlebrot set, we're on the complex plane, which is why i began as i did above. the only way to make any judgement on closeness has to come from the modulus.
yes, the extended set of numbers is not a field, but that does not matter in the least. the extended complex plane is very handy in complex analysis (if you allow the point of infinity, the poles of rational functions map to infinity, and can thus be inverted to help solve quite a few problems); it's quite common in geometry / topology and is the introductory complex manifold; and it can also be interesting for an introductory example in with algebraic geometry. the automorphisms on this plane are quite simple, which makes it nice to study from the various branches.
it was a way to make the example clear, as what the person is stating is sort of correct. infinity is not a number, and on the real line, there is no number that is "closer to infinity" than any other, and the only way to reconcile that is to make infinity a point. your method was close, but getting arbitrarily close to zero is still not having zero in your codomain. | null | 0 | 1317164257 | True | 0 | c2n2qio | t3_krpem | null | t1_c2n2qio | t1_c2n1eok | null | 1427655485 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

On the other hand, it doesn't really achieve parallelism, so it doesn't scale with number of CPUs.

Also, I don't see why including a clickable hyperlink to the video file won't work better than anything else, since the embedded videos are not played by Adobe reader anyway. With a hyperlink, you can reliably open them with your video player.
And, to be fair, PDF is not that well-suited for presentations, and Beamer output is merely a workaround (you can't really print slides out if you have the generated PDF, since each transition is a distinct page; no transitions; most basic animation is an exercise in masochism).
PDF is good because it's relatively open, vector-based, and opens anywhere; videos in PDF take the last one out. | null | 0 | 1317167225 | False | 0 | c2n358y | t3_kssyt | null | t1_c2n358y | t1_c2mznqj | null | 1427655678 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

This is (luckily) not so common at all. Lots of free (as in speech) software comes from universities. It is true that many universities have an "IP and innovations" department that can be difficult. However they can often also be convinced with good arguments.
For instance, I wouldn't touch that charm++ library with a stick because it makes you totally dependent on their (unknown) terms and conditions whenever you want to collaborate with industry. Therefore, silly "free for non-commercial use" licences actually make software less commercially interesting (in terms of sponsorships, consultancy, the things universities can make money from). | null | 0 | 1317167871 | False | 0 | c2n38fo | t3_ksm2f | null | t1_c2n38fo | t1_c2mzlm0 | null | 1427655722 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | paranoidinfidel | null | The concept of simple class names is not bullshit, especially if it is an entity in the system it is describing. It keeps the software matching the business case. Why invent terms when suitable ones already exist. You are concentrating too much on the text "person" - it is the context that is important and was only a simple example - something that we would both have common information about and relate to. Simple and business case relevant class names also helps developers taking over the administration and maintenance of the application.
The silly "person" example is used because neither of us knows each others knowledge domains. I did provide "user" as an example in my previous comment.
Fine, create a stop light class - it still makes sense. Animals walk around town ignoring stoplights. People walk around town obeying and ignoring stoplights. It is up the instance of the person to observe the stop light state change and act accordingly. Event subscription is a programming construct we would use for such a task. The observer can choose to listen to or ignore notification of state change from another object. You don't need a contrived engine class looping through everything and checking to see if a particular person can see the stoplight and then deciding if the stoplight changes and then deciding what the person does when a change happens. Those tasks are encapsulated into their own classes.
Filter does not violate the rule because its nature is to apply restrictions to data. It is a natural "er" business entity, there is no "Filt" class name that would make sense, as is "user" which I provided previously. Applications filter data all the time. "Filter Manager" or "User Manager" might be fine names for an application because it describes what you are doing with the system but they are not good names for the business entities.
As for devices interacting with a screen, it is up to the device that is monitoring the data/input to decide which thing it is listening to, not some contrived managing object. It is the managing object. "EventReceiver"? Don't you mean student? Or Instructor?
> THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY A VIOLATION OF ENCAPSULATION.
It most certainly is. The behaviour is no longer encapsulated with the data.
