I was ready to knock it, but it's actually a decent reference. If you're just picking it up, check it out.

This is so nice! The pause box makes the whole demo flex really well. Impressive work

Yes, completely agreed. You distilled it: "you can roll the dice more times if you have more money/wealth"

by mattxxx 7y ago
The reality is that money lets you "take risks," and money gives you options (in this world). To be honest, I don't think that starting your company with the "risk" that you might move back in with your parents if i

This comment got me to look at Fira Code... I think this one might stick.

In the end, is it an art or is it a tech demo project? ...and what's the difference?

by mattxxx 9y ago
What _is_ "art?"

Yea - you don't have to go immensely deep into Analysis, but having some experience in it will give you an understanding of what makes the algorithms "tick" and when they break-down. This is especially true for things that i

^ Exactly. The answer should almost always be spin up more cpu's.

I think it's supposed to have a more damaging impact when you're younger, and your brain is rapidly developing.

I agree that inheritance is not preferred, but this post picks are weird target for its attack: 1. It's oddly specific to particulars on how python implements inheritance 2. It misses the main point that inheritance is bad because it

the vim nav is such a plus... I started doing it on ffffound by accident

Yea, but, I mean, the isn't the diagonal argument just an extension of proof-by-contradiction into countable sets? The same way that induction is the extension of syllogism into countable sets?

by mattxxx 11y ago
Pretty unrelated, but proof by contradiction has been really useful for me in real life. It gives you a way to look at logical facts, and remove many axioms, because it relies on empirical evidence and a set of assumptions that you are tryi

Elevator pitch: a social network for dead people. All interactions are created from a machine learning algorithm trained on your once-real-life social network data. You guys in?

Cool. Physics is about modeling. If you create a model, and it's consistent with the real world, then it's inscrutable. Cool. The only time you can contradict a model in Physics, is if the model conflicts with something observable

Paid article discovery seems scary... like a way to extremely narrow people's fields of sight. The issue seems to fundamentally be about how to pay good writers, that offer something useful to read.

It's very important, but I wouldn't implement a sort; I would be making sure that I'm using the right one for the moment. The same goes for data-structures. For example, I might need a set of unique values, but, when I code,

This article is phrased very awkwardly. It reads like giving away free access to certain sites, is the same as making premium internet access. Am I missing something? Facebook hate aside, this is a change meant to give something away . Rig

Hackathons are a hustle. Honestly, the smug, young dev is probably the most likely one to be exploited.

Also, I don't get how you can plan a sprint while eating. Sprint planning is like the most important time to be actively in discussion.

It'd be nice, but the article comes off like a small-sized engineering team, telling much bigger businesses how to be efficient. The reality is that the meeting is about communication, and that's almost-as-important-as coding for

This is totally missing the point. Nonsingular matrices form a group; use the multiplication operator to convey a wealth of operations that you can do with it.
