    How to draw attention to some elegant code I wrote!

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 04:47 AM PST

    Is there a competition or something for elegant code?

    What's programming if it's not computer science?

    Posted: 05 Mar 2019 04:47 AM PST

    I'm a teacher in search of good approach guidelines. In online discussions I see a lot of attention to a strange distinction between computer science and programming (worded also as algorithms vs coding or similar).

    A number of sources are careful of argumenting for "teach computer science not coding", or "there's more in computational thinking than just programming", and similar lines.

    I can't get what ought the "inferior" programming be made of if not of computer science, what do you think they mean?

    Are there places in theoretical computer science where eigenvalues and eigenvectors show up?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 03:03 PM PST

    I've seen them come up in the context of animation (which generally makes heavy use of linear algebra in general), but nothing other than that.

    Linear algebra appears in the most surprising places. Are there any other interesting places in computer science where eigenvalues/vectors show up?

    Algorithm for dynamically clustering data points that come and go?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 09:34 AM PST

    Hey all,

    I'm currently in the process of implementing a system that, as a part of its functionality, is able to cluster a large set of data points. However, these data points both appear and disappear from the database relatively often (say every 5-30 minutes).

    My initial idea was to use DBSCAN to cluster the points, as new data points could simply be assigned to the clusters as they appear. However, I'm unsure about how to handle disappearing data points. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that DBSCAN would work as expected when I just remove points at random (if one of these points is a core point, I have a problem).

    Do you know of any algorithms that can be used for this?

    Interview Question: step by step instructions

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 05:45 PM PST

    I had an interview today and I was asked to give step by step instructions on how to do something, anything. The interviewer gave some examples like steps to bake a cake, how to change a tire and other things like that. What would you have said in response to this question?

    Final Year Project Help: Any improvements to finding popularity of items.

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 05:11 PM PST

    Dear CompSci,

    I am currently doing my Final Year Project and I am stuck on ideas on how to improve on it.

    I already have a basis of my project which is to do with the popularity of items (clothing, shoes, accessories) online. Shoes/Clothing like Yeezy/Off-White are always going out of stock as soon as they are released since they have a high resale value due to limited availability and high demand. My project is to spot whether these products will be in demand (and therefore have a higher resell) before they get released and notifying the user to buy the item. The way it will do this, is by searching for the item on social media and getting statistics on the item (how many tweets, the nature of top tweets, the amount of instagram posts with hashtag of item etc). These statistics will determine if it is a popular item. I will also use news sources to see how widely covered this item is to see the hype. I will mainly be using StockX to grab the items from.

    My second part of my project is creating a shopify store and showing how to automate purchase for these products. This can be done using bot techniques to automate filling out a form etc and performing the purchase. This part is just a side part and doesn't have to be fulfilled.

    I would like to ask if there is any improvements to the initial part I described in the first paragraph or any faults anyone can find with this project? I also aim to do some sort of formula which will predict which product collaboration will likely have more profit based on previous collaborations and their statistics.

    Many Thanks

    Currency Arbitrage DP

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 02:47 PM PST

    I am new to Dynamic Programming and am working on a problem about maximizing profit through currently exchanges between two currencies. The problem is similar to "When to Buy and Sell a Stock" on Leetcode, which I can do, but this currency problem has me stuck.

    Essentially you are given a certain amount of money to start in one currency. Given an array of daily exchange rates between the given currency and another currency (it fluctuates like a stock) and given transaction fees when converting, find the maximum profit possible (exploit the arbitrage).

    Could anyone help me derive a solution using DP? Id really appreciate any insight. Thanks!

    Can AI stop people slipping and falling on ice by requiring all security cameras to collectively identify safe walking paths for pedestrians to follow via their smart phones/watches/tablets?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2019 07:30 AM PST

    The central AI would automatically identify people walking, slipping, and/or falling in the security camera feeds and update its safe path database accordingly.

    Would this be possible with today's technology?
