Are those the problems that are best solved by throwing more and more programmers at them? If anything, the people doing the grunt work would be PhD students (save the shaders, perhaps).

Interesting. How would a line compile on its own if it's, say, "n += 2;" without providing the n?

How does something like this work in general? My naive idea about how to make such a thing essentially seems like a virtual machine, which is quite a bit of effort.

Are there any books or papers on that which you'd suggest?

Look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11270547/go-big-int-facto... and compare how the function looks with int and with big.Int. Interestingly, big.Int has a method MulRange, which does exactly what the

Given layers upon layers of abstraction, it's often impractical for the programmer to understand exactly what's actually happening. Indeed, that's the entire premise for the existence of more safe languages, which (hope to)

0.8 ^ 100 simply means that it's extremely unlikely that there would be 100 out of 100 successful connections given that the probability of the success of each connection is 0.8. The expected success rate would still be around 80 out o

I want map (the function). I want filter. And I don't want to keep rewriting them over and over when I work on projects. They're not required -- indeed, I get by without them --, but the topic of the OP is elegance.

In my opinion, it should be a compile error to ignore return values without explicitly throwing them away with _.

On their website, they show a bug tracking app, a version control app, and some organizing app. Apart from the money, I don't see anything that would make me excited about working there. Do they work on anything else?

I've seen many more people say that it's a waste of time, so I can't say I'm surprised (unless the "online job applications are usually black holes" cohort has changed their tune).
