Mithril is nice. W.r.t. going for batteries included, it's still a bit minimal for my taste. Personally I would lean towards something more dogmatic, in the spirit of Rails. For example, things that I would miss from Ember: ember-data,

Agreed, I stopped recommending React to beginners. I still love it and think it's the future, but in the sense that it's the new low-level. Eventually I think it will be standard to compile futuristic, high level, built-for-apps l

Didn't downvote or anything, but come on .. we all know what he meant. This thread is not the place for a "a great learning opportunity about decimal separators and non-native speakers".

If you're a novice like me, and just experimenting with ML tools, you should take a look at PyTorch as well as TF. They have lots of getting started examples that not only introduced the framework, but helped neural nets click for me a

Gotta mention Shen here, the language with an intentionally Turing complete type system. You can write your types as Horn clauses. http://shenlanguage.org/

It's tough. I think most ppl will agree that wine is great. Weed is great. But both in moderation. And that Heroin is evil. Not even once. Those are the two sides of the spectrum with a crazy amount of gray area and fear in the middle.

I'm also interested to see how the worlds of program synthesis (specifically type directed, proof-checking, dependently typed stuff) can combine with deep learning. If recent neural nets have such great results on large amounts of uns

Looks interesting, thanks. Found a fun fact about this book after Googling, turns out it was the very first book to be sold on Amazon.com!

Out of curiosity, can you elaborate?

This is very logical. I bet your communications are all very precise and logical. Sometimes spelling out exactly what you mean takes the fun out of whatever you're doing. Like explaining a joke for example. Or lazy flirting.

It's not complexity that you take on. The React API is minimal. It's complexity that the React authors take on in order to provide a stable, cross platform, predictable component lifecycle. And if some of that complexity leaks thr

My reaction would be more similar to yours than Dave's. But he's a public figure, with a blog and twitter and people that know him and stuff, so I guess in that position, people start asking "why aren't you posting somet

Don't over complicate it. Given two number ranges, of UTC timestamps, determine if they overlap. I think you know where to start with that.

by lopatin 9y ago
The interview question I was referring to is the appointment overlapping one. It's a middle school math question and it's a lot easier than failing over a database without data loss.

Being a professional programmer is not an entirely stress-free job. Often, time matters and you have to think on your feet. That's why I think rejecting a programmer for losing their core competencies like problem solving, i.e. freezin

Oh I see what you mean. Yeah forcing vars to actually be stack allocated can be challenging when using interfaces everywhere. What are the Go authors' opinions on improving escape analysis?

by lopatin 9y ago
Interfaces allow polymorphic coding, and they support stack allocated data structures last I checked.

You can write Go programs in a certain style that doesn't use GC. It's the equivalent of not using malloc in a C program.

Could this be useful for multivariate statistical analysis, such as Basketball Player A has more steals than Player B but only when Player C is on the court? If so, it might get pretty busy on FanDuel

Sorry for the late reply. I'll just address the fact that the slave being sacrificed to the sun gods was a slave in the first place, because it's well known that totally messed up things are justified by religion, and that's

Some things are absolute. Race and gender equality for instance, is absolutely better. No relative cultural context needed to agree with that. Also, life is absolute. The amount of people who are unjustly prevented from living their life is

Eh I don't think that we're "worse in many respects". We're not perfect, but definitely objectively morally superior to the Romans.

Coding without generics turns out to have many advantages. Mostly code bases that need to evolve rapidly without getting locked in to abstractions that don't fit anymore. It certainly is a mindset shift, and may be better at scale, b

This is awesome. It's just a fully customizable framework for composing components that display collections of data. I think things like this are great because it defines a common interface for open source components to adhere their pr

For me the biggest value they contributed with the Go standard library is the interfaces they baked into it, not necessarily the default implementations of them (no complaints there of course). They modeled the way that servers are built as
