I have friends who moved to snapchat for a bit, then moved back to FB after frustrations with Snapchat like the poor UI - it looks cheap, for a lack of a better description. I think it's going to take a lot to bring down FB, if it&#x27

Except it's not a one time download - every damn update has you downloading the whole mobile app again, which is a devastating multiplier. JS isn't nearly as offensive as those exaggerated numbers by comparison

I think we see many here pump up their abilities that they could homebrew an excellent implementation of [insert special feature] better than [insert framework/library]. Truth is, I don't trust most software engineers to do that w

This makes a lot of sense - LinkedIn has basically went almost all in (if not all in) on Ember. Being probably the biggest tech company relying so heavily on Ember, it's unsurprising that they want a core maintainer of it on board.

So the alternative is to spend $1000+ just to avoid Ticketmaster? Yeah, you go do that - you're not going convince many people that this is rational, or going to happen. Most people don't even have that luxury. Basic economics isn

That's not quite true - frontend has to scale for features.

Because people should spend potentially thousands of dollars just to avoid seeing one artist at a venue using Ticketmaster - this is ludicrous. There were a couple of times I had no choice this year but to go through Ticketmaster because th

Even if they were digitized, not everyone has an electronic device able to consume digital content like that.

In the US, I don't think I saw it until a course in set theory, although it could get rolled up in a topology course.

This article definitely assumes more knowledge than basic abstract algebra - there are also some key facts used from set theory assumed (i.e. In a proof, it is assumed to be known that if a compositiom of two maps is the identity map on one

But that is typically not how the word is used because to substitute bijection with isomorphism, it would only make sense when talking about cardinality - that is not how you used it.
553.
by Bahamut 10y ago
An isomorphism is more than a bijection, unless it is between sets and the category is the one of all functions from one set to another. Isomorphism is about preserving relations as well. For example, consider the ring of integers and the f

This is really only answerable by the person, but from what I have heard about Apple and Google living halfway between both HQs in the Valley, I would lean towards Google. They generally pay better from what I can tell, and seem to have mor

I have encountered a few situations where time complexity matters during the normal course of work. The most notable one for me was where I did two DB queries to fetch a list of elements in one and another of the same length and related to

There are ways to improve how smart you are - it is largely a learned & practiced skill in fact. One could potentially become much smarter by working in another domain as opposed to spending the same time in a different one. There are a

I don't think you understood the post. I used to be one of those people in that quote - I found programming too simple/easy, and ended up doing math and physics, subject matters of far more complexity. I only ended up programming

The labels of good/bad developer are not useful - just as we try to optimize the perf of our code, we should be focused on optimizing the things we can. For example, figuring out some answers to questions like "How can I get to th

More on rotating tasks, it's important to give all developers, even junior ones, appropriate challenges. It is important to keep people engaged & learning, but not burn them out.

I'm currently busy these days (became a tech lead/engineering manager hybrid), but if I want to work on open source, I just go ahead and get involved - read the READMEs, CONTRIBUTING.md, peruse the issues, debug the reported issue

It takes a special kind of scum to lie about being in spec ops. Those who are generally don't tell though - not revealing information unnecessarily is a mindset, one that should be practiced. The most one might hear is if one happens t

The problem is when different views require the same concept of some state but they don't really want it global to the application to bleed into other views. A redux-like pattern makes it very simple to put that state into a store, but

by Bahamut 10y ago
I'm increasingly convinced that redux is the wrong way to manage most state. I see the pattern get abused greatly for state that should be more localized.

It should be noted that these technical interviews are biased to a particular style, so the data only really is of relevance for these types of interviews.

To add to that from someone who went into programming after math grad school, composition is actually much more natural in the way to think about functions. When putting together functions, and where they map to, it is more natural to think

Or you can charge extra to support those users - chances are good that they will either pay or even better, force them to have the conversation about upgrading their systems & do so.
