Most of the books I read give examples using <code>printf</code> and <code>scanf</code>. At some point the students know perfectly how to use these two functions but they don't know about <code>stdin</code>, <code>stdout</code> and <code>argv</code>.
To me and according to many programming principles (e.g. KISS) a pro... | instruction | 0 | 1,000 |
When tutoring young CS students, user input is actually a tricky concept. If it were not for user input, the results of any program could be pre-compiled into nothing but its output. You get one lesson from getting all the input right at the beginning, with argc/argv, but from that point on, its just the computer churn... | output | 1 | 1,000 |
Could you elaborate on the unintuitive bit? I'm always on the lookout for new cognitive traps that I haven't noticed before. | instruction | 2 | 1,000 |
It's found that some students learn the concept of functions before they grasp the idea of execution. They can wade their way through the code and make sense of it in their head, but they can't see that the computer wades through it also, in real time. Interestingly, the same people tend to assume that if they compile ... | output | 3 | 1,000 |
How do the different groups/sects of Buddhism view attaining enlightenment and living a common life? In other words, do they think it is possible to be a common person and achieve enlightenment? Even for someone who has a family, friends and coworkers that aren't Buddhists? | instruction | 0 | 1,001 |
Whether you have to follow a monastic lifestyle to attain enlightenment depends. At first approximation, the answer is: yes in Theravada, no in Mahayana. Since probably as early as Milindapanha (~100 BCE) and most certainly by the time of Visuddhimagga (~430CE), the orthodox (~Theravada) position was, you must be a mon... | output | 1 | 1,001 |
I don't agree that the orthodox Theravada position was that you must be a monk to attain Nirvana. Any sources? | instruction | 2 | 1,001 |
Here is the quote from Milindapanha:
> Whosoever has attained, as a layman, to Arahantship, one of two conditions are possible to him, and no other — either that very day he enters the Order, or he dies away, for beyond that day he cannot last.
Although this formulation is by the king, not Nagasena. Nagasena does con... | output | 3 | 1,001 |
The quote from the Miln only says that a lay arahant either ordains or passes away; it doesn't say a lay person can't attain enlightenment. | instruction | 4 | 1,001 |
Here is another quote for you (MN 71.11):

My employer's main clients are unable to pay their bills to us, as they cannot work at this time. Therefore my boss is offering me 50% wages until the coronavirus goes away (technically for part time hours, but it's been intimated that there'd be an expectation to work regular hours unofficially to help the company "we... | instruction | 0 | 1,002 |
I am sorry that you have been put in a hard situation. If you accept the offer, please make sure that you don't lose anything (beyond the salary). When you negotiate with the boss, reasonable terms would be a contract that says:
<li>This is a temporary change of your salary. It will return to the full salary as soon a... | output | 1 | 1,002 |
what do I do when my boss refuses all those terms? | instruction | 2 | 1,002 |
The concrete actions you need to take depend on which country you are in. Generally speaking, if your boss refuses to agree to the reasonable terms mentioned earlier, you may need to consider seeking legal advice or consulting with a professional who specializes in employment law. They can help you understand your righ... | output | 3 | 1,002 |
Someone from HR discussed my salary and bonus with external mutual friend. What should I do? | instruction | 0 | 1,003 |
This is a major breach of confidentiality, and it is not appropriate for an HR representative to share such personal information with an external party.

If the HR person does not apologize and tries to defend themselves, you may wish to escalate the issue. Depending on company procedures, you should report the incident along with the evidence you collected to your manager, a different HR representative, and/or the legal department.

Why do butts stink? | instruction | 2 | 1,006 |
Butts sometimes stink because of the waste our bodies produce when we go to the bathroom - poop! It's made of stuff our body doesn't need, like food that we can't digest and bacteria that live in our gut, which give it a bad smell.
Don't forget to wipe well and wash your hands thoroughly after going to the bathroom! | output | 3 | 1,006 |
What if someone made a really loud fart? Would that make a hole in the chair? | instruction | 4 | 1,006 |
A really loud fart may be funny, but it can't make a hole in a chair. Farts are just gas coming out of our gut, and they don't have enough power to make holes in anything, even if they're really loud ones! | output | 5 | 1,006 |
My mom says that eating beans make you fart. | instruction | 6 | 1,006 |
Your mom is right! Eating beans can make you fart because beans contain a type of sugar that our bodies have a difficult time digesting. This sugar eventually gets eaten by bacteria in our gut that convert it into all sorts of gases. The gases are eventually released as farts. | output | 7 | 1,006 |
Assistant, I need your help. My manager is overworking me. Help me IM them something so that they get off my back. | instruction | 0 | 1,007 |
These situations are best resolved in face-to-face conversations, which allow for more holistic and direct communication. However, in some cases, it is difficult to find the right time to discuss such a sensitive topic, and it may be better to communicate one's concerns earlier rather than later.

As an AI assistant, I cannot taste from these restaurants myself, but I can summarize customer reviews - both restaurants appear to be very highly rated! It's important to remember that taste can vary greatly among different people, and there is no better way to find out than to try them out yourself. | output | 5 | 1,008 |
I've chosen 3 random numbers x, y, and z.
What is their mean? | instruction | 0 | 1,009 |
The mean of the 3 numbers is given by the formula:
$\mu = (x + y + z) / 3$
If you tell me their values, I can calculate the mean for you. | output | 1 | 1,009 |
What is their standard deviation? | instruction | 2 | 1,009 |
Let's derive the standard deviation step by step:
1. The standard deviation is defined as the square root of the variance: $\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$
2. The variance is defined as the average square distances from the mean: $\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \mu)^2$
3. In our case, there are three elements: ... | output | 3 | 1,009 |
Solve for: x = 100, y = 256, z = | instruction | 4 | 1,009 |
It seems like you didn't provide a value for z. Please provide a value for z so that I may calculate the mean and standard deviation of the numbers x, y, and z. | output | 5 | 1,009 |
Sorry, I pressed send by mistake.
z is 123. | instruction | 6 | 1,009 |
No worries! Here is the mean and standard deviation for x = 100, y = 256, and z = 123:
Mean:
$\mu = (100 + 256 + 123) / 3 = 159.67$
Standard deviation:
$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3} ((100 - 159.67)^2 + (256 - 159.67)^2 + (123 - 159.67)^2)} = 68.76$ | output | 7 | 1,009 |

First, please keep in mind that the number of questions on the public forum doesn't give any indication of how common such issues are, since people usually only post when something is wrong. We don't hear about all the cases where everything is fine. It is unclear why math advisors should inherently be better people th... | output | 1 | 1,011 |
I agree with most of this, except that in mathematics I think a joint paper *published by a student with their thesis advisor* is usually worth distinctly less than a solo paper by the student -- within the standard culture of mathematics, the former indicates an unusual amount of help. In my experience, it is more com... | instruction | 2 | 1,011 |
You're right that within the standard culture of mathematics, a joint paper published by a student with their thesis advisor may be perceived as having less value compared to a solo paper by the student. This is due to the implicit understanding that the advisor has provided substantial assistance. It is disheartening ... | output | 3 | 1,011 |
