I think I would rather write types and derive schemas. Not sure if it were possible to derive resolvers?

I still like currying better, but I just might be weird like that :-)

Well usually it would be for something that is useful, like const greaterThan = x => y => y > x and then I can do thins like numbers.filter(greaterThan(10)) because greatherThan(10) is a function (and I hope I did put the correct c

Funny, I already kinda use partial application in Javascript, just by using curried functions a lot. I.e. const add = x => y => x + y This is definitely non-idiomatic, but the definition syntax itself doesn't look that bad, if yo

"and each dedicated to one or a tiny group of students?" ... I think you are onto something there. Anecdotally many of the 'survivors' that claim $subjects are easy did have 1-to-1 tutor for some parts of the journey.

I would first check with my manager or my accountant, that I am not doing something that would violating my employment contract. I.e. my manager is quite open about 20% of time arrangements, and we are working on several open-source project

One good advice our calculus lecturer gave us was: "Proofs are not meant to be understood by reading them from beginning to end. They are usually meant to be `checked` that way. Most of the time, I start reading the proof from the conc

Not really a remote worker (I am in a QE team that shares an office), but often we work in small, distributed subsets (i.e. small project containing QE crom Czech republic, OPS guy from Ireland, one eng from Spain and second from Germany).

I remember seeing a similar book. I think this was it http://www.helloruby.com/ which seems to be more professional/educational, I think there even are some work-books?

Fair. In my opinion generics are good alternative to macros or templates, because they are much more constrained.
464.
by a-saleh 9y ago
Why? Like, I might have weird taste, because I really liked generics and even Java-style checked exceptions :-) And to me, generics always sounded like the most practical way to do safe code-reuse across various types.

We went for a vendor to replace one of our internal tools. It looked too costly to pay team of 4 engineers a year to support it. Unfortunately, the part "implement a vendor and see how you like it" went only with the first half. C

One day I would like to get good at this as well, but so far, with job and wife an daughter and attempts at still having a social life, thing that helped most was making it part of my job. My manager knows that from time to time I will be w

Actually, at my uni, you probably could attend comparative linguistics. It wouldn´t help you get the biology degree much, but you still would receive credits. I.e. my wife, as she completed her molecular-genetics masters (120 credits, after

The reason was, you can have more instances of backend for a single middleware and that should have helped with scalability. If we had the resources to do the refactoring, we would probably end up with two-three different backends for vario

Ha, there actually are engines, that many of the new RPGs share. But I am not sure D&D (or at least 5e) is well suited for being a base for many different games, because i.m.o. it has a strong focus on combat. If you want a game with

Disclaimer, I mostly do internal tooling, and the honest answer would be Jenkins+Groovy scripts. I am not sure it counts for the purposes of this question :-) Seems like any time I need to do some actual web-page, somebody else might need t

We send out a simple homework. Should take you around 3 hours at most, creating a simple rest service. Then we would go through the code. Apart from that, we would go through the cv/talk about past projects.

There are nuances. With this reasoning taken to extreme, would you in the end got rid of the compiler just force yourself to be more careful? And I kinda get your point, because I got in to the past to a point where I had passed through all
