If there was no prior work that'd be the odder of the two scenarios. But I definitely didn't see anything that would make me think about applying it to abstract strategy games apart from some modest tries. Even during the games th

Every accomplishment will seem obvious in retrospect. Who here honestly thought neural networks were going to be a dominant force in board game AI? Sure we cannot extrapolate, but that doesn't mean that we aren't building up effec

The author does seem to not consider the case of where you already have HTML and just plop it in and make it dynamic. Luckily JSX is completely optional, and a JSX->hyperscript converter being well possible means the syntactic choice rem

It'll be really interesting if people think of JavaScript more as a highly available scripting language, rather than a necessity.

This conversation was confusing until I read this point

I don't see enough about Shumway given the recognized security impetus

Genuinely curious, what makes PHP so easy?

You can use templates and objects at practically 0 cost, and significant abstractions can be built with these mechanisms. Presumably, this is a night and day difference for some people.

The problem is that fundamentally all our AI techniques are heavily data-driven. It's not clear what sort of data to feed in to represent good/bad algorithm design

Seems like just another avenue to trick the computer

by ludamad 11y ago
I certainly hope no one prefers hardware solutions to small abstractions :)

The author doesn't mention using frameworks for prototyping, isn't that useful for deploying earlier?

by ludamad 11y ago
As is Bjarne.

The versions cant really merge, there's runtime differences and you don't want to bloat with two of everything

At the same time, only now are people seeing how its hard for people to play Go against computers. Until AlphaGo I didn't even think computers were close.

I'd wrap it in a function called capitalizeWords and be done for the day. I also had 0 problem understanding the meaning of this line. If your code base is consistently made of small functions that look like this I actually don't

Im inclined to agree that this isn't a farfetched extension of a very versatile word.

Sad then that fines like this could totally be calculated into the cost of business

I get untied.ca. That honestly debunks that Google thinks this is an irrelevant use of the word untied.

Cool. Along with those looking to migrate, it's good for the good ol' paranoid people.

The opinions of what the subscript could mean are very coloured by Python :P Didn't mention the fact that this could be a type, etc
562.
by ludamad 11y ago
How much of these concerns could be alleviated by an IDE that makes the types more visible?
563.
by ludamad 11y ago
Dynamically typed languages essentially have something like Java's Object type as the type of everything. Using wide types like that and interfaces in Java, you easily have dynamic traits in your code.

Yes... with programming so English-centric, we have to be understanding.

I learn a lot faster from the people who teach it well at university, and from focusing on the subject. But yes if you're goal is to become a competent programmer it is not strictly necessary.

Now project based learning is fine, but CS for example has lots of wonderful theory, where does that fit in?

I think a uniform is fine, but they have to really be a certain kind of people who see you doing something illegal and be friendly. Otherwise people will treat them with the same suspicion.

Whenever I know something well I feel like I'm excited to teach people 'just the good techniques'. I do notice that the things I describe don't sound as cool because they haven't struggled with the less cool stuff,

Why the more strongly worded title?

I believe Mozilla's keeping Google as the default could be smart. If a company is trying to compete with Google they now see a local contract as a double win.
