Using an optimization library seems like the completely wrong approach to solving this interview question. Was that intentional?

A bunch of schools include CTF-type reverse engineering challenges as part of a course. IMO those tend to be a little more addicting as well, as there's the instant feedback that you have the correct answer.

Often times leadership will ask for a demo before being convinced, which results in a catch-22. At least in my experience.

That doesn't sound like the right approach. Google has the resources to actually defend the patent. While ideally/ethically Jarek should be the one with the patent, if the patent is only being used defensively, Jarek probably isn&

One reason I don't use Elm and Purescript is that enforcing the purity of functions can be a pain. While pure functions are great in theory, sometimes having a non-pure function is much easier, and I'm okay with my codebase being

If just the diffs were returned, you'd need to constantly reapply them to recreate the latest state. By returning the entire state the previous reference can be discarded.

I get about 50c of credit for each survey which takes about 15s, so that comes out to $2/min or $120/hr which seems pretty fair. Of course, you can't actually do hours of these things.

So, essentially you're saying that Elm is not a framework, it's just a language. Okay, that works too.

by kevmo314 9y ago
You're still arguing features of the language, not why the framework requires them.

I disagree, after all it's compiled to js. As I mentioned, cycle.js is a good example of a functional js framework. Perhaps the experience is much better with a typed, functional language, but saying it can't work without it is di

But why does that need to be tied to the framework? It seems that Elm provides two things that work together well: new language primitives and a functional framework. Tying the success of each component to the other doesn't seem like a

Reading over the Elm documentation, I respect the ideals a lot, it looks like a fantastic language, but why does it need to be a completely new language instead of a framework in js? It's not particularly convincing to my co-workers if

Perhaps for engineers, but for the rest of the scientific community it's pretty obvious: Rust doesn't have nearly the coverage that NumPy does. A quick check, I couldn't find a GMRES solver in Rust, which is extremely useful

Julia allows you to be a little closer to the math and use a lot of the math symbols directly. For example, you can write `if 6 ∈ A` ( https://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/stdlib/collections... ), and you
