I took the Ng course when it first came out, but I hope it's been updated since - it was taught in a language I've literally never even heard of outside the course (GNU octave). That said, if you want to understand ML stuff I lear

Self-taught dev here, and I remember feeling similar things at a similar age. During a gap between jobs I wound up taking three online courses: Algos 1 and 2, and Andrew Ng's introduction to ML course (all at Coursera). This was just o

Worth noting that you can also do this from plain .js files. /** @param { import('./foo.js').SomeType } arg */ function doThing(arg) { // ... } The thing being imported can be a JS

There's a few clunky bits but I hardly ever run into them. Actually since this conversation is going, here's something I just learned this week that somebody might find helpful. I used to consider enums one of the clunky bits, but

Vouched. This is the point of the thing - the typechecking benefits come from running `tsc` on your code (or VSCode will do it for you in the background and show you linter errors if you have typescript installed somewhere it knows about).

Yeah, it sounds like pre-building the worker JS, so it's a static asset when the client does their bundling, is the least-bad option. Thanks!

Hi, I appreciate the advice in general, but in my case it's not an architectural matter. Basically, I just have one internal, encapsulated function that ought to run in a worker, and I'd like to implement that without doing anythi

Web Workers are a really great feature for performance. The way they want the worker code to live in a separate file makes them slightly annoying if you're using a bundler, but each bundler has a loader or similar feature for this, so

As a linguistic category it includes teineigo and set phrases, but when a JP learner says keigo they probably mean the stuff introduced the "keigo" chapters of JP textbooks, which starts with おっしゃる, 下さる, いただく, お～になる and so on. And

I'm mystified by this comment. Keigo isn't some high-level PhD topic, it's used constantly in everyday usage. Even an intermediate speaker needs to understand some, or they'll be unable to follow many basic conversations

Yeah, I'm almost sure there was no html renderer or JS engine in AIR, but you could have pure html apps with no flash in the source now that I think back. TweetDeck was I'm sure, and one other high-profile AIR desktop app was the

That's a separate unrelated issue. The terms I'm taking about dictated what language the app could be "originally written" in, regardless of what happened at runtime. Technically, if you prototyped an app in some other

Ohhh, I think one of the OS-integration features was that you could invoke an instance of the OS's web component, is that what you mean? AIR itself didn't do anything with html/js but you could render web content at runtime v

I worked at Adobe in those days, adjacent to the Flash team, and AFAIK everyone involved would have loved to open-source the flash player. (And they did open-source significant parts of it, like the script VM - that didn't just rando

Complexity analysis deals with asymptotic cases where N gets arbitrarily large. Sleepsort would take the same wall time to sort [1,2] and [1,2,1,2] - but it would presumably take somewhat longer to sort an array of 1e10 ones and twos, becau

You're forgetting that algorithmic complexity deals with asymptotic behavior. An algorithm that takes N inputs, does N operations, and then sleeps for 10 seconds is not constant time, because in the asymptotic case the N iterations w

To be fair the library name may be based on Japanese usage, where the term just means anything animated (including all the works you mentioned).
