> I know how to pronounce 'Kansas', and I was always under the impression that 'Arkansas' is the same with an 'Ar-' prefixed, which is apparently not the case.
The reason why they're pronounced differently is that they have different language origins. Arkansas is from the plural form of the French name of a Native American tribe, so you don't pronounce the '-s' while Kansas comes from the English spelling of a similar(?) tribe, where the '-s' is pronounced. English is notorious for just borrowing words from other languages wholesale but it seems to work most of the time.
At least with a higher level language it is easier to learn the practical side of concepts taught in Computer Science. As part of my architecture course at university, we were tasked to create a matrix multiplier in assembly. While it was an interesting challenge I would not use an assembly language for assignments in linear algebra.
A small technicality, but I don't think he ever released under the name "the artist formerly known as Prince" but as the Love Symbol [0]. An example album being the Gold Experience [1].
Funny, at my UK university for Computer Science we did not have independently invigilated exams. I would assume other courses were similar. We did have them for secondary education though.
While it doesn't alleviate the problems entirely, you can also run things like mutation tests that check that your unit tests actually test conditions, rather than just execute all the code.
In the UK, the A level I took was called "Computing". My university called it that as well and treated it as an MEng rather than an MSc, but most UK universities still call it Computer Science I think.
But why? It was his actual birth name. He also wasn't knighted so you could use the title "Sir" to distinguish the other Francis Bacon from him, though I've noticed Americans don't use the title generally when referring to those knighted in the UK (and presumably other countries as well).
I don't mean leaving the city by public transport or whatever. I mean leaving the monotony of a particular area which I thought you meant in your OP.
Streets in London typically aren't the same for literal miles, whereas they can be in the case of some American suburbs where you need a vehicle like a car to escape it.
To be clear, my reference to the train station was to indicate how busy my local area can be. But despite that, you don't have to walk very far to find somewhere a bit more tranquil.
I think the difference being is that you don't have to get in the car just to leave it. I myself live about 5 minutes walk from a major train station in London whose trains go past my flat and it only takes me another five minutes walk in the opposite direction to find a completely different area.
Now, some of the commuter towns of London are a different story.
Edit: Making it clear I'm not using the train which I realise could be misconstrued from my previous wording. The train station was just a reference to how busy my local area can be.
I wonder how many of those are from papers discussing failure of peer review or interdisciplinary communication rather than the value of the formula itself.
