Stack clash mitigation in GCC, Part 3 (-fstack-clash-protection option) - https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/05/22/stack-clash-mi...

The government has yet to decide the rate or exactly where it will apply, but proposals under discussion include a merchant discount rate (MDR) of 0.3-0.5% - a small fee paid by a business to the banks and payment companies that process its UPI payments - on larger transactions at big businesses.

The government says consumers and person-to-person UPI payments will remain free. If merchant fees are introduced, they will apply only to some transactions above a set threshold, at a nominal rate, meaning most UPI payments will remain free.

One option reportedly under discussion would target transactions above 2,000 rupees at larger merchants, leaving small businesses and low-value payments untouched. Transactions above that threshold account for only about 4% of merchant-payment volumes but roughly 67% of their value, according to brokerage firm Jefferies.

That could generate a sizeable new revenue stream - up to a billion dollars, by one estimate - for banks and payment companies while leaving the everyday smaller payment to the neighbourhood grocer effectively unchanged.

You can buy it from the publisher directly since they do international shipping. Contact them for the shipping charges.

You might also want to check Amazon India and see how much it costs to order from them.

Talk to some of your local schools/colleges/libraries and see whether they can get it and you borrow from them.

Finally; ask your "Indian Friend" (direct/indirect) to get the volumes on one of his/her visits to India ;-)

When it comes to Calculus most people get traumatized due to the excessive rigor and abstraction many teachers/books start with in the beginning. There is the Heine discrete sequence approach that is far easier to understand (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49312120) than the standard epsilon-delta definition but for some reason it is not emphasized. Add the fact that many mindlessly recommend Spivak/Apostol etc. books which are highly rigorous and a beginning student is lost and starts to develop an aversion to the subject.

For some motivation see Everyday Calculus: Discovering the Hidden Math All around Us by Oscar Fernandez - https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691175751/ev...

Btw - Your name seemed familiar and then i remembered, you are also the author of "Programming from the Ground Up".

The former is discrete so you could literally take any interval and demonstrate how an infinite sequence of real numbers within that interval can converge to a "limit". The student can now understand the idea of a "difference" i.e. a finite change that gets smaller and smaller in concrete terms.

You do the above for x (an independent variable over the above sequence yielding a sequence of delta_x's) and y (a dependent function yielding a sequence of delta_y's).

Now the limit of the sequence of the ratios of the above two sets of differences (i.e. sequence of delta_y/delta_x) can be calculated and defined as the "derivative" i.e. rate of change of one w.r.t. another.

Everything is direct and there is no confusion. They can then easily map the idea of the discrete "difference" to a "differential" in a continuous domain/range and see that the exact same techniques/ideas hold.

ARINC 429 is the most widely used data bus standard for aviation. Electrical and data format characteristics are defined for a two-wire serial bus with one transmitter and up to 20 receivers. The bus is capable of operating at a speed of 100 kbit/s. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARINC_429

> This of course is the cornerstone of Western culture and no well-educated person can be without a knowledge of what is in it.

This is just dogma and factually wrong.

The cornerstone of Western Culture is Greek Philosophies/Texts added-to/modified-with Indian/Chinese/Islamic/etc. philosophies/texts.

Strongly disagree.

Sequences(discrete) and Convergence are vital to understanding Calculus. Only then the idea of converging to a limit from left or right makes intuitive sense. Pair it with a graphical view of secants converging to a tangent(continuous) and you get the idea of instantaneous change however infinitesimal it might be.

You need both discrete and continuous ideas to build intuition before you introduce limits of functions and continuity.

Some books that i have found useful - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49308281

1) Calculus: Basic Concepts for High Schools by Lev Tarasov. Soviet-era book written as a dialogue between the author and reader. Absolutely fantastic (also see his other books on Probability etc.) - https://mirtitles.org/2018/09/04/calculus-basic-concepts-for...

2) Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach by Morris Kline. A classic; any book by Morris Kline is a must-have - https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486404530

3) Calculus: The Princess of Mathematics by H.C.Verma et al. A two-vol must-have affordable set. The author is a well-known Indian Physics professor and this is written specifically for students to "understand" calculus i.e. it is not a typical textbook. - https://garudalife.in/calculus-the-princess-of-mathematics-v...

4) How to Think about Analysis by Lara Alcock. Provides conceptual insight like the Tarasov book above. Checkout the author's other books too. - https://global.oup.com/academic/product/how-to-think-about-a...

I believe we need to study Calculus alongside Probability/Statistics nowadays due to their pervasive use in ML/AI/etc. To that end;

a) Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability, and Statistics by Richard Hamming. It is by Hamming so one of the best. - https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486439457?_...

b) Calculus and Statistics by Michael Gemignani. Similar to the above - https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486449937

As already mentioned, I already have the english translations of all the five papers, have spent some time with them, and they most certainly are not "accessible for the motivated layman" without the necessary physics/mathematics background. No amount of motivation/enthusiasm can make up for lack of necessary knowledge.

Since you kept mentioning the brownian motion paper as being "easy to read", the second section on "osmotic pressure from the standpoint of the moleculer-kinetic theory of heat" starts with the equations for entropy and free energy of the system which i would like to see a "motivated layman"/"high school student" understand, much less derive. They need knowledge of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics (assuming they are already comfortable with multivariable calculus/PDEs) to even get started.

Similar criticisms apply to the rest of your claims regarding other papers.

That is why you need guidance from teachers who do have knowledge of all the required sub-domains and can help the student navigate the paper. Of course one can also use all other available tools like LLMs etc. but their veracity again needs to be checked by a human in conceptually complex subjects like these.

A good review - https://eevans.co/blog/annotated-godel-review/

This is key to understanding the slide deck shared by the author.

Is there a way to get a pdf of the slides?
