I prefer list comprehension's syntax. I could respect this if it was also faster maybe. To me lambdas are kind of clunky in Python, and I've never been impressed with the .NET Object Oriented builder way of dealing with lists. If

This is amazing. I wonder how practical this would work at a larger scale using a quadcopter.

Despite slack being quite popular and truly a good product, Microsoft still has the upper hand. If you have the "Microsoft Suite" you get everything, access to all their products. Slack is fighting an uphill battle against Microso

> There’s no such thing as a bug free application This is a stretch. Seems like many people think of code as a living thing that just does what it wants, and us programmers have to beat it into submission. The truth is, there can be bug

This sounds odd. What's really the incentive for all of them behind this?

by kyleperik 8y ago
Yes I agree. I'd even say that functional programming languages, even if they're staticly typed, don't need design patterns either. I just think this long overhyped Object Oriented style was the wrong way to go for programmin

I know what you're talking about, I realize that's how most people think of as monkey patching. That's what I thought at first. But when I tried structuring a python project with Dependency Injection it seemed overly complex.

by kyleperik 8y ago
For languages that support monkey patching you don't dependency injection. A lot of the design patterns I used to adore and look at as if they were rare gems in a sea of bad code. Over time my opinions have changed. Many patterns are g

Sounds like you're over complicating simplicity

Something I would add that helps when writing simple software is testing. You have to close the feedback loop early and often. Until you see what your program does you won't really understand it. Thinking you understand what you'r

I'm not sure quite what you're getting at. I actually agree with you, I'm one of those who does not like imperative code. I think it's completely counterintuitive. I was making an effort to be unbias, by making clear the

It's interesting to me that people's opinions on this subject are much like politics. You either make optimization a priority, or you don't optimize prematurely. You write clever well written and commented imperative code, or

I have a few reasons why I still think 80 characters is a great limit. Readability. It's difficult enough to read through long lines of normal text on a badly formatted website. Naming. I could go on about this one. Namespacing was cre

I agree with you when you say fairness is fuzzy. Though this implies that there are no set of rules that define it, that also means there is no way to train on it. By choosing the right features and utilizing it in the right way I believe y

The purpose of Machine Learning is to generalize on a large scale. I like to think of it as the equivalent of someone who has years of experience in a particular area. Someone who has been doing something for years has seen so much, that th

I think you can do a lot with a simple spreadsheet. I have a sheet that I copy from month to month, where I record my wages in one sheet, then reference that total in my budget sheet, where I decide what categories to allocate, and I carry

I don't think whenever someone says "psychology" they're going to have extensive knowledge on the subject. Sounds like he's speaking from his own experience. What would you call it? He's talking about the brain

This is claiming more than I think is really true. They're just training the bees to avoid circles. The more circles, the less sugar water. They're talking about zero like some highly advanced concept, probably because it took hum

Honestly I wasn't trying to start any sort of debate either, I just didn't know that was really something people have to be aware of. That's very sad. I feel bad not knowing that's the way things are now.

Great article, but what is this about? Is this really true? > But remember that interactions with law enforcement can vary wildly, depending on race and socio-economic background.

I think that a combination of GUI with a keyboard can be great too. I think CLIs have stuck around for so long for their consistency. You type something and press return. The web on the other end of a spectrum is full of surprises and there

> On the input side, it’s easier and faster to click than it is to type. I disagree with this. It may be easier, but it is in no way faster. For those who don't use computers very often I can see it being slower. But for people who

On a totally non-serious note: Just reading "Microsoft has sunk a data centre" sounds pretty hilarious given recent events (GDPR, acquiring GitHub)

Not a bad idea actually. Only works if you have a phone that syncs with my other devices. Still looking for more of a simple application or website.

If I'm thinking of a piece of code I wrote while I'm out and about, I'll just pull it up on my phone. I can't do that with sticky notes. I'm looking for something digital.

I'm not sure you'll have a lot of luck finding that in a job as much as pursuing personal projects. That's where I let my creative and experimental ideas run free. Who knows, maybe one will become popular. Remember, it's
