So I would argue the easiest way to plot log log x is to parameterize the x domain. For f x = log x where log has base b, we know that f b^0 = 0, f b^1 = 1, etc. what does g x = log log x look like? Well, we know log x is undefined for x &l

I think it's really "this is open beta/supply constraint, this makes sure only people already invested can get it". It's cute but pragmatic disclaimer: work at Amazon, nowhere near echo

Having worked with feature flags "at scale" (whatever that means :), here's some advice that I've learned from working with hundreds of developers across tens of teams and given to others. I'm leaving out experiment

I'm not quite sure where you're going with k vs k+1. we know that s + d = 209 (1) and we know that 6.5s + 2d = 836.5 (2) we can rewrite (1) as d = 209 - s (3) substituting (3) into (2) we get 6.5s + 2(209 - s) = 836.5 (

your second paragraph would be incredibly unfortunate. most of the sane large companies i've worked at or know people who work at have settled on 2-4 languages -one of which is usually the legacy starting language-which they provide ti

1. disregarding "advanced" because thats subjective, you can think of a new type in a relational database as a table, where instances of that type are rows. 2. assuming by type reusability you mean something like polymorphism, sql

Since the parent removed their comment, the gist was that they described f being big-theta of g as f growing exactly as fast as g. this is stricter than what big-theta actually means and is actually defined as "on the order of" or

Sure, and if you expect your software to run on such a platform with any degree of confidence then you're right to consider it. Even better, tell us about a conforming implementation that you've used in product recently that has U

So the article isn't wrong, but its misleading you into thinking this should be correct for the wrong reasons. They are using signed integers as their indices, which means that the signed bit is always 0. Thus the addition after castin

You should take a look at its source code. You'll see that the path you're taking is not the path that library takes.

Sorry! I never really spent much time in the physical sciences, so I didn't know that. You would obviously not want to pick Joules as a fundamental unit.

by dastbe 11y ago
Canonicalization is tough, and requires you to define some common ordering on your units. Systems will use an array of unit powers, so that if the array were defined as <Joules, Seconds, Newtons, Meters>, then acceleration would be &l

There's a lot that could be said about this code, but the worst is that it has an incorrectly implemented swap when one exists in the standard collections library. I don't understand why you would show off a feature (which admitte

What is your point though?

by dastbe 12y ago
An issue here is that the the nth Fibonacci number has O(N) bits, so once you move into arbitrary arithmetic calculations your +'s and *'s will become O(N) and O(N logN) respectively.

But is it necessary? That's an important part of the definition. For instance, the wood on Newsstand doesn't make it skeumorphic, but the bookshelf design does. And again, where is the original product design for Find My Friends? Why did I

by dastbe 14y ago
I think you misunderstood me. While it can be purely stylistic in the modern interpretation, the element replicated must have some functional purpose in the original. I do not think that you have to reimplement the functionality, that was j
476.
by dastbe 14y ago
You're right, that is skeumorphic. And many other things Apple does are too. However, that doesn't mean every thing -- like the leather stitching in "find my friends" -- that Apple does involving natural textures is skeumorphic.

by dastbe 14y ago
If we're going by the wikipedia page, here's their definition they provide: "skeuomorphism is when a product imitates design elements /functionally necessary/ in the original product design, but that becomes ornamental in the new product de

by dastbe 14y ago
That's not skeumorphism; it's a style choice. If I had to simulate ripping the top piece of paper off the notepad in notes to clear it, then that would be skeumorphic design.

If you can assume that you are given a valid fizzbuzz sequence then your solution works. However, look at what it outputs for: raw_input = ["Fizz","Buzz","Fizz","Fizz","Buzz","Fizz","FizzBuzz","Buzz","Buzz"]

This is resolved in one of the examples given in the introduction where the interviewer agrees that "buzz buzz" is an invalid sequence.
