That's a good example, but there's many factors at play here. For instance: - Loss aversion - Trust (i.e. the manager believes in you): When we hear the word "bonus" we often think "that's something that ha

Yeah, I see how this turns an argument combative and that wasn't my intention. I don't think there's anything wrong with vezycash's point of view, in fact I completely agree with most/all of his points :-) There is

Are you reading the same article as me? As they mentioned: > Loss aversion has been represented as a fundamental principle. Loss aversion is not understood as the idea that losses can or sometimes loom larger than gains, but that los

Well, I did look at it, but it was difficult to figure out how control-flow is structured. Is every “basic block” a single “el”, or is the CFG structured inside the binary tree? How are variables handled? Are there load expressions? Do you

Ah, that's good to hear. Sorry for the rant, and for interpreting you in the most negative way. As I've mentioned downthread, I've just annoyed with silly, definite, interviewing questions that's more like a trap and les

by judofyr 8y ago
If you already know that the hammer is the best way to solve it, why wouldn't you ask them to solve it with a hammer? Using the right tool is tricky and there are cases where console.log is more efficient than a debugger: - It's

I see that knowledge about Chrome debugger probably correlates with knowledge about other tasks, but there has to be some false negatives, no? And mostly I find it a bit dishonest. If you have a preferred way to solve a problem in a company

by judofyr 8y ago
Can’t you just ask them if they have experience with the Chrome debugger? And if that’s such a deal breaker for you, you can teach them in the first week? I mean, it’s not like the Chrome debugger is such a complicated beast. Even if you ha

Yeah, and I do see that my comment ends up being yet another comment that's not about the article. I guess I could've focused less on the "using 'racism' incorrectly" and more on the "come on, what are t

Substance of their message? I’m sorry, but when people comment nothing more than “That’s racist”, there’s not much substance. My comment was an attempt at encouraging people to post actual arguments, and not just shout out their feelings.

I'll also take any project that has thousands (if not millions?) of man-hours together with an extremely solid test suite. That doesn't mean other projects aren't worth exploring or won't be useful.

Well, a linear function is a function where you can only use the parameter once when expressed in its Taylor expansion. E.g. these are not linear: x^2=x*x (used twice), exp(x)=1+x+... (used infinite times). It’s a very symbolic way of think

Interesting approach. If I understand your library correctly, you need to choose a bitsize at compile-time? I thought you often wanted unlimited precision (aka. possibly heap-allocated) when using bigints?

Most of the time of compilation is spent in LLVM since Rust generates a lot of IR. I haven't looked deeply into the issue, but it wouldn't surprise me that monomorphization combined with the functional programming patterns is one

It's because Nginx uses even numbers for stable releases (very few changes) and odd versions for mainline releases (production-ready, but frequently improved/changed). 1.14.0 is the exact same version of 1.13.12.
