That assertion that you can win more than half the time at "guess the higher number" sounded weird, but testable. http://play.golang.org/p/E1L9spOjBk Cool.

by Jabbles 12y ago
Sounds like we agree then :) If we assume that no (Csmith) bug will be fixed without a reduced test-case, then the choice of which one to use as a regression test is obvious.

by Jabbles 12y ago
I disagree that the tests are not obviously worth keeping. Having a large suite of regression tests is vital to stop bugs reappearing. This type of research spawns other research and projects outside of academia by acting as a proof of conc

In comparison, the Go standard sort function is not vulnerable to this, and references the same paper as this article: http://golang.org/src/pkg/sort/sort.go#L168

As much as I want to emphasize that this is not the right way to think about programming in Go, I do want to point out that the example has a lot of extra code that isn't needed. Indeed, it's not really possible to have a bug of

So? I mean it's probably nice to have, but the performance of Redis isn't important enough to be a factor in the scalability of this. I just tested a binary search of 8 million random 100 byte DNA strings written in Go. 10,000 req

It's unfortunate that it was too big for an HN comment, which would probably have prevented it being posted again as a topic. People who are genuinely interested in the book could have searched HN and found the original review. This th

I can't comment on the author's cryptographic knowledge, but his Go seems non-idiomatic, and in some cases plain weird. For example, this function stores the length of a slice in a variable, creates a new slice of the same length,

Note the use of receive-only channels: func merge(cs ...<-chan int) <-chan int { Inside the function you cannot send to a member of cs - it will give you a compile-error. Outside the function you cannot send to its return val

I dislike this line of reasoning. If you add up the effects over many people then obviously you get a large number of minutes that were wasted, but those people collectively had many minutes to waste. You cannot claim that those minutes cou

Given that I know very little about Krout, perhaps you could explain why you participated in the first place. I don't wish to sound rude; I'm genuinely interested in what exactly you did, and why you thought it was worth doing. Ba

Algorithms aren't really about recognising standard implementations - although in preparation you'll certainly learn that. It's about having a deep understanding of programs' flow, and being able to recreate and combine

Tell us what you think is missing. You don't "feel nearly prepared". Have you prepared? These interviews (for better or worse) tend to be algorithm based. How are you on those?

I don't understand people's problem with estimating. It's a useful skill. Perhaps it would be better if the questions actually related to technology, rather than golf balls - but the principle is the same. For instance - &quo

Well that's embarrassing... Still, why aren't airports checking if people specifically banned from flying are trying to fly?
