I'm also wondering who exactly would use this service. Any worthy developer should be able to read a description / paper on an algorithm he needs and then implement it in their language of choice. Also, a bulk of the work would pr

The advantage, if you are into that sort of thing (managing servers), is that it's fully customizable however you desire. You can most definitely install git on a VPS. As a side-effect, you'll learn some server management/mai

I've gotten through around half of it – the material itself is not extremely difficult, but it does take a long time to go line by line and see how exactly line `n` is equivalent to line `n-1` in the program transformations presented.

"Pearls of functional algorithm design" [0] is a fantastic book if you are interested in some more equational reasoning, I highly recommend it. [0] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pearls-Functional-Algorithm-Design-R...

He also travels business/first and stays in 5* hotels (clicked something on the Explore tab). My guess is some kind of previous startup that sold well? Maybe his roommate can fill us in.

This is great! I can't figure out how to nest containers though, is this supported?

Where are you getting at with the the t(n)? As you said, the golden ratio is defined as the limit of f(n+1)/f(n), and yes, with this implementation (because f ~ t) t(n+1)/t(n) also converges to the golden ratio, but... so what, wh

It depends on the implementation. I'm not familiar with Scala, but in Haskell, using `newtype`s to achieve this creates absolutely no extra runtime overhead, only compile-time overhead when the types are checked.

Could have let it run its course to actually make it an 'experiment', couple of hours of popularity is a bit too short to shut it down :(

Looks cool! I remember using HelloFax for this kind of thing, and it worked very well. Any difference between this and helloFax ?

If you are interested, 'Moonwalking with Einstein' is all about memorization contests and it talks about the method of loci.

Did you and the parent comment mean binary search? I've never heard of binary sort. And if you do mean a sort, how does it work?

The whole process for all their dishes is fascinating. When visiting the restaurant, I managed to get a tour of the kitchens and the lab by one of the cooks. It takes from 6-24 months for a dish to go from idea to being on the table in the

By "in the middle", do you mean you are actually recreating the dishes as you go along? I have the book also, and it has some nice stories, but the recipes require not only a lot of skill and time, but also equipment. Also, eating

Looks like vim, it's just a vim buffer with the contents of the google doc. Not sure how it handles things like tables/images though.

I just tried it out, and it seems it doesn't update after a save, you have to quit the document, so it's not real-time enough for an interview.

Well, you will kind of be tested on everything. I didn't even apply for the algorithmic/coding position of Software Engineering, but for Forward Deployed Engineering, for which you still have to be an engineer, code, and know your stuff ver

You better be absolutely fantastic at algorithms if you are considering applying there :) I had a total of 7 interviews for the London office (3 in Palo Alto), and didn't too well in only one and ended up not getting an offer :( (Reapplying

How does this look for motion, whether I'm in deep or light sleep ? Does it have some kind of camera, or an external accelerometer ?

I didn't understand that either. MongoDB works very well with many other languages; just recently I was using it with Python, and the driver and API work very well. I guess since MongoDB stores data in BSON, which is the binary version of J

If you are using Vim >= 7.3, you can use the vim conceal feature which works as described, but without any messy hacks! For Haskell, here ( https://github.com/vim-scripts/Haskell-Conceal ) is a plugin that works quite well, although t
