Proof is a hard goalpost in any domain, but science, and by extension the scientific method, can support the belief that murder is wrong through a couple plausible paths. The study of evolution gives a mechanism through which a sense of mor

I'm a fan of the cross modal congruence school of thought here. In which experiences in one sense are similar in structure to experiences in another sense, imparting them meaning. For example, "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Ri

I would strongly recommend the post he cited. It is the same style but features interactive visualizations: https://dataorigami.net/blogs/napkin-folding/79031811-multi-... I implemented something like this for my

The first point is actually something that game developers have failed to do in many cases. For example if they want client syncing to require transferring very little data, they may only send player inputs across the wire, meaning that ea

Correctness can just mean "does what it's intended to do". This is fairly unambiguous in cases such as if you intend to implement A* Search. If you hit a NPE and your program explodes, or if you aren't calling your heu

I wish he would have gone further into detail on why "stuff like Scalaz has no place outside academia". While I understand there's a bit of mental overhead, I've found there to be much real world utility in using that g

I've never heard entropy used in this context. What do you mean by it?

The title is a clever reference to Dawkins' book about evolutionary fitness: The Selfish Gene ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish_Gene )

I haven't watched the full video, but here are some things that a hypothetical Person class brings to the table that you might be missing: 1) A Person class can guarantee that a Person can not exist unless it is fully specified. E.g. y

Is there a particular feature that's suited to machine learning? I'm having trouble understanding the connection.

I think the point was that cyber weapons are effectively as dangerous as nukes because they could cause nukes to be launched.

I'm not the op, but I would charitably assume that they meant that those blog posts demonstrate that the blog's strongly geared toward attracting talent.

Hmm I would expect the results to be based on the data structure holding the values you're flattening. An in-order depth first traversal if the data structure you're applying it to has an inherent order (e.g a List) and in an unde

I would agree with you if we were talking about more complicated features like monad transformers or monoids or something like that, but list operations like this are very high-leverage, not that complicated under the hood, and becoming par

Fair point. The for-comprehension is not quite as magical as I describe it. However, as long as the futures are created outside of the comprehension, the behavior is nearly as described. I'll include a note about it.

Does anyone know why most graph libraries that I see of this type have nodes that seem to bounce all over the place? Is there a practical motivation for this? I would think a less animated version would be more usable.
