I don't think the latter point is true. FP requires a lot of thinking up front, which is not how most engineers like to work. That's not to say that FP is at odds with iterative programming, but it means that you have to work out

FP is not gonna wall you off from doing stuff like this. For example, and this is just off the top of my head, you could: * provide an explicit sequencing of when actors take their turns, passing updated resources to each in turn. This is y

Gotcha. We didn't have TVs in bedrooms in my parents' house, which is what I figure our TV deficit stems from.

Why not make auto-sizing the default and manual size control the exceptional case? It's already like this "in reality," I just wish the language would follow that. I use templates so my editor shims in the above anyway, at th

Out of curiosity, what are you doing with 6 TVs? Even when I lived with my parents we only had two.

Your application code shouldn't have sharding concerns in its logic. To achieve this, you should introduce an abstraction layer. One such example is vitess[0], which is used at YouTube. If that's too much work, then an easy prelim

Elm used to have a crazy time-traveling debugger in elm-reactor[0], but that's been replaced by session-event-export[1]. This is really, really easy to do well when every function is pure and every data structure is immutable, and you

You only need to know that the language handles one explicitly, since there's two choices, so you might as well take the (more common | uglier to express) case and give it the "cleanest" special syntax: no special syntax.

You could even switch what you have in redis to a bloom filter if the space of revocation tokens gets large (which it shouldn't). You don't need to support a database online if you're just checking for membership in a small f

the latter phenomenon occurs at least three or four times over in good (rigorous, proof-based) math classes. I've had this happen for - everything from linear algebra (at least 20 things) - all kinds of stuff from mathematical optimiza

How is this statement false at all? Conditioning on sigma-algebras, which are the objects at the base of probability theory and which further function as a reasonable model of "knowledge," is at the heart of how we understand prob

Use latex with git, say on github. You get all those features and more, just with a UI that separates them from the document. I've collaborated on notes using latex before on github and PR discussions, inline comments, and git collabor

They still make you tons of money net of fees. However, because of their success, they very quickly attracted all the money they thought they could handle and closed the fund to new investors. I think recently their performance slipped a bi

he probably meant not using string literals / ints outside of top-level declarations, so you would instead assign all these parameters to "constants" at top level and then use those constants in function calls, hence avoiding

To my knowledge, more sophisticated lenders will let through loans that have poor model scores to fill in that data for training future models.

They're NNs because you learn the representation using RNNs. Everything afterwards is trivial since you're in a hilbert space. But getting the representations is the hard part.

There's no way in hell they're doing ML on cipher text. It's like orders upon orders of magnitudes too slow.

if you spend 15 or so minutes configuring your editor (I use vim, so python-mode and ctags for me), you can get around all of these issues you mentioned.
