Got a question for any front end devs who were experts in Flash and AS but now experts in React. Qualitatively speaking what was the development experience like for Flash websites or animations vs. HTML 5 + react OR JS? Can you say definiti

No I did not do what you wrote. Here's what I did: I defined what a function is, then I described how a unix program fits the definition of what a function is... In short a unix program with stdin as domain and stdout as a codomain is

I use to be pretty negative about JS, but typescript saves the day. The lego aspect of functional programming always becomes more evident when you have static types.

I don't think dynamic typing or static typing really applies. In either case you have to compose functions With the correct types otherwise you hit an error. The difference with dynamic types and static types is when this error occurs.

Yeah, I'm just saying it can work and it can work remarkably well and efficiently. It's just probably too complex for our limited intelligence to handle.

I wonder what will happen if you use one of those electric fly swatters.

>The goal of OOP is also to be modular and composable. Well it depends on the type of composition you're talking about. Anything when mashed together hard enough can compose.

Unless you use some stateful program or you're writing to a file typically a unix expression that uses purely reads and pipes is deterministic meaning you run the same expression twice you get the same result. If you want to get pedant

Cool! Glad I was able to convince you. Just note that a lot of people find the functional style kind of unnecessarily mind bending. Like the functional style primarily uses recursion instead of loops for iteration which is harder to reason

I mean what he describes is literally the same thing as haskell. Just untyped.

You can create building blocks of unlimited complexity or pure simplicity. The key lies in your choice of primitives. Do you start off with a set primitives that are extremely complex or a set primitives that are simple but complete in the

Unix piping is basically functional programming. If you ever wondered why some people are obsessed with functional programming this is the reason why: Functional programming forces every primitive in your program to be a Lego Block. A lot o

Have you guys heard of functional programming? Have you guys wondered why some people are so fanatic about functional programming? Functional programming forces your program to be lego blocks by Definition. A function with no side effects I

I could care less if a statement was positive or negative what is important is if the statement has a realistic possibility of being true. If anything Engineering school should have taught you how to logically observe situations rather than

A golang expert isn't going to flip to crystal based off of one benchmark.. Humans don't work that way. The first reactions to a post like this always involves golang fans trying to reconstruct the evidence into a reality that is

You're not wrong. But there's no evidence arguing the contrary either.

>The SAT has always generally been a test showing how well you prepared for the SAT. For top schools all viable candidates had very good scores so it wasn’t much use. There are many people who have high GPA's but are not intelligent

How was personality scored? Was this specified?

But whites still are the majority in SF by a huge margin.

>Asians disproportionately yield to schools No Asians go big or go home. They yield to all schools that are prestigious regardless of race-neutrality because all of these school (on the surface) appear to be race neutral.

The objective here isn't to identify good students. That's just the cover story. The objective is to select on criteria other than intelligence. For example, race.

I've had it this happen. It was a startup that was ran and helmed by mostly people from academia. These people have never been outside of academia so that might have influenced there decision to check my grades.

How does that make SAT scores useless?

by crimsonalucard5 6y ago
High test scores are correlated with income but income is not a causative factor. Most asian immigrants came here with nothing and much less resources than the caucasians who've already been here for years. They worked hard and perform
