I am curious as well as someone exploring switching back to an IC role.

There is an interesting line in the end > All in all, I guess this is the result of a company that has more money than they possibly know what to do with. I wonder how long this ut…

Another interesting addition would be to warn drivers if a close by car/driver also had a bad driving history. May be also track if the close by car started of from a bar/restauran…

My bad. I don't know why I remember it as wrapping around LibCST.

I have done something similar using https://pybowler.io/ . This library wraps the LibCST library and abstracts away some of the refactoring operations into nice wrapper functions.

I am curious. Why do you think it helps it doing things on the stack. For me, I understand this to provide more generic type level checks on the size/shape of values. Perhaps, I am…

Can you eloborate on what kind of projects you work on which has made the move easy from Python to OCaml. While I love OCaml I have not heard positive things about the library eco-…

Have you considered using ipython as your REPL? I use ipython and in my profile, I have the following setting. This enables auto-reload and it works almost all the time. Here is th…

It is interesting. But, how long before Alexa knows that is how people refer to her alternatively?

I took the same path and went back to reading SICP. But, this time around is was very easy. I had the same experience about implementing closures and the embedded language.

I already see some good responses to your question. As for me, before this course, learning a language was a mechanical process. I learn the syntax, learn some idioms and go with i…

I took the Programming Languages course on Coursera which is so far the best course for me. It changed the way I learn any new programming language. https://www.coursera.org/learn/…

It doesn't have to be. The stricter version is called 'applicative-order' Y-combinator. The article talks about both versions as well.

That is a nice description of how to arrive at the Y-combinator. There was a talk using similar examples which I think is very educational. https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Y-Co…

> The benefit of State and IO monads is not that you can use them everywhere so you now have an imperative language. The benefit is you can explicitly delimit their use, and you st…

I think you are referring to this effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring

The example you quoted is probably the very basic of operators and idioms being used. These operators have standard meaning in terms of fmap and applicatives. But, I agree with you…

I work on Python and the Pandas data frame is one of the core data structure that is used in the implementation. I have been thinking of how I can translate this code in a more rob…

Actually, I think a search engine's capability directly adds value to SO. Even, before SO, there were different forums and searching (Google and before that alta vista) could help …

I do not think it would work with sub-classing. With the approach we have it is just easier to add the 'new' method name to test into the list argument of the meta class. The meta …

We use meta-classes extensively. One of the simpler examples I have used are as follows: We have a class that has different methods that performs numerical analysis/computations of…
