Are you thinking of computed properties? If so, there are many libraries that have solved this, e.g.: https://vuejs.org/guide/computed.html https://guides.emberjs.com/v2.3.0/object-model/comp

Can someone explain the benefits of React's DOM diffing model? Rather than try to diff two DOM trees and optimize reconciliation, why not use one-way data binding and update exactly what has changed, with 0 reconciliation cost? Eithe

You aren't required to use import, use require if you don't care for typings: `var aLibrary: any = require('aLibrary');`

Another way to look at this is that interviews are like tests where you already know what the topics are. So a company with a 'standard interview process' is testing your ability to study for and do well on a test. That's a

If you're in the JVM ecosystem, you may want to check out http://akka.io , which is self hosted lambda with more features and better documentation.

Scala is more forgiving than Haskell and the parent poster asked for something with Erlang-style actors, which are always going to be complex. I really think this is the best option out there.

Akka[1] is exactly the library you're looking for. It's available for Scala[2], which lets you use both OOP and FP as needed. (It also runs in Java if you have experience with that.) [1] http://akka.io/ [2] htt

I don't think this is a millenial problem, this is true of the young adult population in every generation. One trend I've noticed is that those who grow up in suburbs tend to prefer cities in their 20s, and those who grew up in c

Agree, an apartment I used to rent in LA has appreciated by 50% in 4 years. The housing crisis isn't as full-blown as in SF, but it's quickly getting there.

Have you looked into ocropy[0]? Here's a nice intro[1] that later talks about how it achieves higher accuracy using an LSTM model[2]. [0] https://github.com/tmbdev/ocropy [1] http://www.danvk.org/2

For dynamically typed languages, using a popular type annotation syntax (e.g. rdoc for ruby, closure compiler for javascript) and an IDE (like Intellij) can give you 80% of the benefits of type safety by doing code inspection on-the-fly and

While I love scala, I have 2 concerns that have stopped me from using scala.js: 1) can I use typescript definitions to avoid writing everything myself? 2) how much bloat does this add to my app? (from overhead of standard libs and core)

Personally I'm not a huge fan of mixing language with UI architecture - it seems like it would slow down development on both fronts. Replacement costs are also much higher. That aside, we'll talk about how we built our architectu

This is slightly different from the original code. The reason for all the flatmapping is to avoid continuation if any of the subparsers fail, and notify the caller that something has failed because of {some exception}. You can avoid exces

Ah! I think I saw this awhile back. I didn't refer to it too much when working on Monapt since it seems to serve a more abstract purpose, and since Monapt's original purpose was to emulate Scala syntax.

by jiaweihli 11y ago
You're absolutely right! I was hoping someone would point this out, since this is a much cleaner way of writing this code. This is pretty close to how it's done in Scala. For the purposes of this article, we tried to avoid too m

We considered Flow initially as well - but aside from its built-in maybe types (we use Monapt for this!), it's a subset of TypeScript feature-wise that doesn't iterate as quickly.

Are there any good IDEs for Clojure? If so, most of the stumbling could have been avoided. Coding without one tends to fall into the "ball-of-mud" problem where wrong code is built on top of other wrong code. Or alternatively,

If you care about filesize, you'll probably optimize as much as possible. You can do this with Lodash using modular imports. There's little upside in hosting a light version, and fragmenting the docs. Min/max'ing on fi

I don't see $60 of value over a few customized git aliases. The 'easy visualizations' in a GUI can be just as easily teased out with .gitconfig snippets: > lg = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)

I think this is a tooling issue. People initially tend to favor inheritance because it looks cleaner than composition. Mixing a lot of unrelated code in the same class makes things hard to find. (which method applies to which composed ob

Can you explain what you mean by `checks for safety first (variable declaration)`? This issue only seems to affect arrays. Strings, numbers, and dictionaries are fine.

I'm not sure if it's XCode / playground acting up, but array equality is broken for me: `[1, 2, 3] == [1, 2, 3]` returns false. This seems to contradict the core declarations though: /// Returns true if these
