Almost every database algorithm is based on ordering and binary search.

I'm surprised to hear it's not sortable. Why can't they just memcmp it?

Default HTML is already responsive. What are you adding to break it on mobile? (Of course, really old HTML that uses table based layout has problems.)

This is a nice tagline, but I think it's much more benign than it sounds, and it's not exclusive to America. It's just a legal convention to help think about how corporations fit into laws not explicitly written for them. For

Looking like I am wrong on this one, as the media coverage grows.

You're mixing up two things: 1. How well do individual traders (people) perform? 2. How well do most investments perform? The majority of people in the stock market do lose, because it's psychologically hard to buy and hold. A com

Well, usually memoization gets you polynomial time from exponential time with the space tradeoff. It's unusual to start with `O(n^2)` and get a better DP solution.

That's a good point. The principle of proving a simple possible version makes sense. Just pointing out that those "small" steps Tesla took are already a lot bigger than most software projects.

I think highly accountable tech CEOs with experience managing large organizations, and executing long term visions, are in shorter supply than you suggest. But to bring it back to the context here. The shareholders can fire a CEO, but he ru

That's just how inflation works. The supply side is always trying to charge the highest price they can, when they can do it successfully that means people have more dollars or more demand to throw at those items. In a non-inflationary

If you're early in the program, I assure you it will get better.

> If you designed programs in haskell then you designed them using concepts from category theory. It's the level of abstraction and focus. Category theory can describe "mapping over promises" it doesn't give a lot of

An exchange explodes almost every year. I doubt anything substantial has changed. In fact, binance looks better than ever.

How do you start a Tesla with small bets?

I have studied haskell from this perspective. Like I said, you learn how to model computation and how the haskell language works, you don't learn how to design programs. I actually have gotten much more program design ideas from tradit

You're just not the target of the product.

Do you have someone in mind?

by sicp-enjoyer 4y ago
I do not agree with this (however, I only have one grad category theory course). I think category theory is a fine tool for formalizing computation and thinking about type systems, but wouldn't approach it as a program design tool.

Do you have someone in mind for meta? Or just change in general?

I was hoping for files on a disk I can search, not an application specific browser database.

The CEO is still the chief executive. Share voting rights do not control day to day business decisions or even strategy.

I agree it isn't normally helpful on a modern computer, but that's a strong statement. What if you need to swap large storage spaces with no extra memory? Isn't there still old hardware out there especially in aerospace that

It sounds like we should consider and test the possibility that users of the software will become extremely familiar and want to use it much more quickly than we anticipate.

Personal hours are not fungible. You can't replace a bit of cleaning time throughout the week with an additional $600. Also there are plenty of costs to employing others besides the hourly cost. Large organizations have huge fixed cost

How is it implemented?

by sicp-enjoyer 4y ago
This really surprised me, until I implemented a lisp. If variable environments are implemented as hash tables, you're just making a pair out of a hash table. In other words, it's basically equivalent to: function cons(x, y)

There is risk involved for both parties. It's not cash, even if it has been treated like it in the past.

Everything else in their business ecosystem is in Excel, and that's where people are trained. It's maybe less convenient to make it work in that environment, but the fact that they can, despite those constraints is very valuable.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder what constraints led us to the current division of labor, and which ones are artificial.
