Where's the line? Do I have to kill you in person to be on the right side of it? What if I use a gun instead of a knife? Is that still okay? How about if I have all kinds of armor and a bunch of buddies behind me, and I blow you up with

It sounds like the Matrix filter can't be delta compressed because the bits in each element get smeared across dimensions, but it also sounds like you understand that. I don't think structures which hit lower bonds can't be delta compres

This seems like an instance of putting the solution before the problem. I imagine you went in knowing you wanted to write an app and came up with one, not that you wanted to help people find out salaries, and then decided the app was the w

git doesn't really expose a great UI for this model of behavior. This needs a good UI for many things, for example, looking through history and cherry-picking old versions of files to revert to. Also, it doesn't give you access from public

Why, though, do they think of a function as a machine for doing something? Because we tell them so. Before starting any standard CS curriculum (ignoring, for a moment, self-taught hackers), the only place a student should have heard about "

They taught this principle to all new google hires and interns as part of orientation when I interned there, whether you were working on ads or not. It was a nice "this is how the company you work for pays you" type thing, I liked it. (and
