That doesn't seem to be what they are saying. Here's the first sentence of the paragraph that I had originally quoted: As matrices grow larger, the number of multiplications needed to find their product increases much faster than

However, the number of additions required to add those sets of matrices is much closer together. Generally, the number of additions is equal to the number of entries in the matrix, so four for the two-by-two matrices and 16 for the four-by

Unless we decide to print money, not everybody will end up with an extra $1000 / month. The money that would be paid out in UBI will either come from taxes or from efficiencies gained by dropping the patchwork of benefits programs. My

I think part of the goal too is to remove the stigma associated with those programs. I know some people look down on those who use food stamps, or suspect that people use food stamps to buy lobster and filet mignon, or barter their food sta

Heck, I wonder why they don't have BOTH function keys AND a touch bar. It looks like they could shrink the oversized touchpad slightly to recover enough space. Is it because the cost would be too high? Is it because it would ruin their

To be fair, the relevant quote from that article (and from the terms) is: > You may not: use the Programs for any data processing or any commercial, production, or internal business purposes other than developing, testing, prototyping, a

Can you elaborate more on "make more than 50% of that in stocks"? It looks like GOOG is up about 120 points compared to this time last year. Is that $200k / year just from projected stock growth / dividends / etc? D

"If you’re good, it’s not uncommon to see software engineers with 5-6 years of experience make $300k-$400k per year in total compensation (which includes your base salary, yearly bonus and stocks)." So I've heard this before,

When I wanted to read the SQLite source code, I was surprised to learn that the authoritative copy isn't stored in a Git repo, but rather in something called Fossil SCM ( https://fossil-scm.org/ ). It turns out that it&#

I'd argue that there's no way to understand monads as a whole except by understanding the monadic laws. That is to say, I don't think there's some grand theory that unifies all monadic types. Rather, I think that certain

To take your point and run with it: in the face of evolving code, returning an interface from a function is actually more conservative than returning a struct. If you return a concrete type of some sort, then as you evolve your code, you ar

To be fair, that Zed Shaw essay isn't particularly good. 1. He uses lay (i.e. non-technical) definitions of "indirect" and "abstract" to argue that the technical definitions are somehow flawed. Words have different

Sure, but you don't need proof-of-work for that. All you need is for every participant to ratify the bylaws-as-code, which you can do with simple public/private signing. The only reason that proof-of-work is needed for a currency

I guess it depends on how you define "blockchain". If it's a system that involves distributed, untrusted participants and the need for proof-of-work, then I too wonder how useful that ends up being in the general case.

Do you use ReSharper? Keep in mind that it adds a good chunk of overhead.

One very specific performance metric is startup time, and Sublime beats the pants off VSCode in that department. Creating new top-level windows in VSCode is also annoyingly slow compared to Sublime (presumably because it's spinning up

I'm a man whose hands are about 1/8" shorter than the average, and with your 5" phone, you're able to hit more with your tight grip than I can hit with my loose grip. With my loose grip, I can only comfortably hit a

I similarly am using a charger right now that's maybe 8 years old and has no fraying. The first models were notoriously bad, but they got better over time.

Debugging is a skill that will definitely be used on the job, and this is a stripped-down example of something that you'll definitely encounter while working in JavaScript (or any language with mutable closures). How would you ask abou

From the NuGet page, it looks like it actually runs on anything that implements .NET Standard 2.0, including .NET Core 2.0 and (hopefully in the future) the full framework.

The simpler ATmega-based Arduino boards don't have the chops to run a JavaScript runtime. The 328P used in the Uno only has 32KB of program storage and only 2KB of RAM! The Zero, which is ARM-based, has 256KB of storage and 32KB of RAM

Imagine doing the other sides of the cubes. Now orthogonal layers will be intersecting. There's no correct order in which to draw intersecting polygons. You either need to split them (and then you're back to where you started), or
