So what? Killing a scapegoat does not a problem solve. You shut down facebook and then what happens? Everyone shuts the phone and enjoy the sunset or would they all just move to the next addictive app? Marlboros are not harmful, tobacco is.

What do you suggest they persecute facebook for? Making their app too fun for school?

I passed that round and I’m 100% sure the code I wrote was not runnable as it was written.

I was responding to the assertion that writing Chinese using an alphabet would render the text incomprehensible, not arguing that China or Japan should switch over.

I find hard to believe every language in the planet can be successfully expressed using some sort of alphabetic system, except for Japanese/Chinese (and local variants)

From my interview at facebook some four years ago, I am inclined to believe they disable intelisense so the candidates do not get tangled up in the minutiae of language syntax, function arguments, etc. and instead focus on the algorithm th

You seem to imply that the only possible source of slowness if safety, which might not be the case (I've no idea).

Classical there is used in the sense of “non relativistic”.

Nope, just plain matplotlib. The code was huge mess written under insane pressure, but I’m sure I kept it somewhere in my backups.

I’m particularly proud of this[1] figure I made using matplotlib for my PhD thesis. And yes, this is a single mpl figure and those are all individual axes. You do not want to see the source code. [1] https://ibb.co/TLLBg37

I can be really wrong here, but I assumed anything a doctor can do you can do it yourself. Would need to get drugs illegally probably, but would spare the family the media circus, and the (presumed) bureaucracy of getting euthanasia approve

Haven't read the article, but does it say why'd she go for euthanasia? I'd imagine there are dignified ways of bringing this matter into one's own hands. Edit: I think this may have come off as “geez just kill yourself a

> It's deeper than that: the vast majority of people believe in science in the exact same way as the used to believe in Christianism. Try asking around for bulletproof proofs of the Earth's roundness. Or communicating the idea

I can imagine you snubbing Hamilton by going all "can the least action principle explain a single phenomenon not already explained by the forces + newton's laws? Thought not. Crank". I have no idea what worfram's model i

Everything is unreadable before you learn it.

My point is that the sample code is pretty readable, it just involves patterns and jargon from other languages that Python users might not be used to.

by emblaegh 3y ago
Code readability can’t be judged unless you consider to whom it’s meant to be readable.

> I'm not sure what's so "functional" about it though. This is a library about composing function, can't get more functional than that.

by emblaegh 3y ago
What if it is not actually more complicated, but just contains concepts and patterns you haven't learned yet or are not used to? All this library offers is a way of composing functions, the kinda stuff that comes default in many langua
51.
by emblaegh 3y ago
None of these has the functionality that the library offers, i.e. providing an interface to compose functions that consume and produce these types.

People in this thread seem to be conflating "it's less readable" with "it's written in a dialect I'm not used to". The samples are perfectly readable to anyone who spent some time with a languages that off

Whatever bad experience you get from the (admittedly) immature tooling, pales in comparison to the intense discomfort or working with an untyped Python code base of even moderate size, specially ones written by many different contributors.

No offense, but I cannot let a recommendation for this film go unchallenged. This film is just trashy pseudo-scientific new-agey mambo jambo from beginning to end. It essentially started the whole "use your mind to quantum mechanically
