I personally use ClojureScript with type annotations from Plumatic (former Prismatic) Schema and it works really well. Obviously it's not the same as an actual typed language, but it gives me a good-enough starting point to leverage so

As somebody who's never (or almost never) done homework, I have to say that I regret not doing it. I've always understood most of the material being taught and I've always seen homework as a waste of time (this is also a good

While the size difference of Steam vs GOG is huge, GOG is still the second largest digital game distributor (at least it was last time I checked, not sure if there are newer ones, honestly) on PC. Is that enough to support main game publish

How does your post relate to the post you replied to? Is DRM required for streaming music? Definitely not. Is DRM required to make money out of streaming music? Debatable. Putting it on a comparable service, look at GOG.com and Steam. They

BFS is far from academic though, it's a very common tree/graph traversal algorithm when you want to traverse in-order, like propagation of events in a UI, or printing contents of a nested data structure for debugging purposes, or

by Morgawr 10y ago
You don't need to know BFS, you need to show that you can come up with a BFS implementation if you need to do so. You can always say "wait, remind me again, which one was BFS?" and the interviewer can certainly tell you at

by Morgawr 10y ago
The parent was talking about BFS, it's not exactly clear to me why you're asking about Dijkstra's. The two things are entirely different and, as the parent said, it's akin to asking bubblesort vs radix sort.

I've been programming for ~8 years as well and have implemented BFS multiple times, especially in occasions where I have to travel nested data structures and want to print them in a specific order. BFS and DFS are the bread and butter

To be honest I was a bit taken aback by the author not being able to implement a BFS. It's a fairly standard and really simple algorithm and it's probably one of the most common ones to actually implement because of a need in your

Why can't you do it through the web interface of a company-backed IRC network? There's literally no difference there, IRC is just a protocol, you can still wrap around your own local stack with registration, email notification, fa

IRC is a protocol, it has nothing to do with UX... You can tack IRC on top of a pretty client and you can get pretty similar results I'd assume. DISCLAIMER: I never used Slack.

The difference is in the article itself. Regardless or not of the fact that most people don't verify the scripts that they run (we should! But we don't), the curl | bash paradigm, as explained in the article, actually makes it pos

IRC is old-school technology just as much as email, the only difference is that email itself has been adopted and provided to non-tech users for a very long time and has arguably been more useful for non-tech users since the days before web
