The brain is constantly evicting, shifting, and changing memories as new stimuli come in and change the connectivity of our neurons. In that sense the brain, from inception, is full in the same sense that in an artificial neural network eve

Great suggestion. Locally I added code at line 429 in twenty-game.js: b.timeUntilNextDrop = 1; Much more fun and leisurely paced, which is what I want in a game to pass time.

Although the powerset discussed in the article is different than the one being discussed here, the most elegant powerset construction I've ever seen uses a method similar to what you described but abstracted away by the List monad in H

Suppose the following scenario: A VC invests $10MM at a $100MM valuation and owns 10% of the company with preferred shares. For simplicity, we'll assume they are the only holders of preferred shares. An employee is given $500,000 in co

In addition to the problems others have stated with this survey, you're missing zero as an answer to the questions. That is, what if someone didn't receive any rejections. The way you've structured this, only people who have

There is a lot of selection bias in the type of people that post on those sites. The salaries are almost always deflated. Software engineers making $200k+ aren't posting on indeed.com.

If you have 10 people who score: 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% 99%, 100% and scale the grades from 0-100, those students' curved grades are: 0%, 11%, 22%, 33%, 44%, 55%, 66%, 77%, 88%, 100% In other words, th

I suspect your perspective is a bit skewed as most companies are building native apps first and only doing a webapp when / if it becomes necessary. Native apps have won the this round and their momentum isn't slowing down. IIRC, F

In Haskell, there isn't any null. The type-system ensures that a function can not receive a null value. Functions can opt-in to the possibility of receiving 'Nothing' as a potential value. The tooling provided to Haskell can

Supply and demand is more of a guideline than a strict rule (as is almost everything in economics). Monopoly pricing could result in lower than market pricing if 1) they have enough supply to satiate the market demand and 2) they want to co
