A lot of system scripts are written in python.

Hasn't Google more more or less prioritized "authority" since Pagerank? Of course, the exact heuristics to weight authority are in a continuous flux.

Have you ever done much optimization or worked on solvers? DP tends to come up often in that type of work.

I would say going further back in time, for example, MSFT during the early 2000s, the interviews were far worse, it was "fermi" types of questions (e.g, https://www.innovativeteach…

Like everything else, it's an opportunity cost. Personally, I think LC is a great return on time invested. It takes far less time and money than say, any of the traditional gatekee…

It seems like depending on how you configure typescript (e.g, in tsconfig), typescript is already something like an ensemble of mini-languages with different dialects and semantics…

I think many cryptocurrencies are on the edge of pump and dump schemes, amplified by social media. A friend of mine made a decent amount just tracking the tweets of Elon Musk and o…

Guido seems quite anti-JIT.

I thought this presentation by Armin Ronacher (the creator of Flask and Jinja) was very enlightening: How Python was Shaped by leaky Internals(2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?…

Why? I'll give you my two cents since I've tinkered with both languages extensively (tho I mostly write Python or C++ professionally, and Scala in the past). I'd say TypeScript has…

It kind of sounds like a cautionary tale for other tech companies wading into the health space or medicine (e.g, calico, deepmind).

I would say there isn't a completely ideal language yet. Perhaps if Julia and Typescript had a baby: gradual typing structural subtyping multiple dispatch interfaces with declarati…

Why should they necessarily put the sole R&D center in America? They are all international companies, unlike the old AT&T.

It's Columbus, so yes. It's also one of the fastest growing cities in the upper midwest, afaik. There are a ton of good big10 engineering schools, and columbus should be able to dr…

I think this was precisely the issue.

Seems like it's not very risky for HN, no? How much SEO does it really require?
