Eh, not sold on native sql in a programming language. It doesn't take into account the different styles of databases, let alone the different sql dialects. I think it presents a similar problem as Scala's xml literals, which are n

I'm currently interviewing with a company where the HR person in charge of my case left the company. My emails to him were getting Postmaster responses, so I emailed someone else asking what happened, and apparently no one knew that I

While null may be the simplest way to represent nothing between a large amount of data types, I think the biggest issue (beyond how far null can propagate from the source in error scenarios) is that it's overloaded with too many possib

There was just a post on HN to a site that went over this exact problem. Essentially, you do two linear scans to calculate the product of every number before an index, and to calculate the product of every number after an index. Then, for e

Every time I hear someone mention behavioral differences due to the biological differences between men and women, my response (that I'm stealing from my professor) is that the differences amongst men and women outweigh the differences

I do every new Python project in Python 3 when I can. Unfortunately, there are still cases where I need to write a script to run on CentOS6 environments, and I can't install any dependencies :/.

I didn't completely grok the white paper you linked. Is it basically suggesting that we remove the capability for arbitrary recursion and limit it to a set of recursive primitives (folds, filters, zips, etc)? And the motivation for thi

When I go to hit delete, my fingers curl up and end up hitting something on the touch bar. Before I took the lock button off the touch bar, this lead to some absolutely maddening interruptions in my work flow. Removing that made it better,

I did this for one of my classes as well. But since it was just a one off, I just put this bash script in a cron job on a free-tier AWS ec2. It just did a quick and dirty parse of the html, which for my university wasn't behind a login

IMO there's a difference between fake news and opionated news. Fake news is stories like Ted Cruz's father being involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. There's nothing factually true in the story itself. This is an

I use a Chromebook as my primary college as a CS student in college. Look up Crouton, it lets you chroot into Ubuntu and Debian distros. From there, you can install native programs with ease, and you still get the Chromebook price.

Dynamically typed languages carry the types of values at runtime. That is, whatever is executing your code can look at a value itself and read off the type of it. Statically typed languages check all of the types of their values at compile

This is exactly what I did. For $1200 I have a Manjaro/Windows box along with a Chromebook running Lubuntu. My desktop runs at 4k resolution and my chromebook has over 10 hours of battery life

I've given up on trying to find the perfect developer laptop and have instead gone for the desktop/chrome book combo. I built a desktop with equivalent hardware specs to the MB Pro (2x8GB Ram, Intel i5-6600 3.30 GHZ, 750GB SSD, an
