If anybody is interested in F#, look for a nearby meetup group to join. The SF F# group is pretty active and Mathias Brandewinder's hacker dojos are absolutely awesome! [0] http://…

I'm not saying it's exactly the knapsack problem, but it's quite related. Ordering from largest to smallest does not yield the optimal solution - period.

You must not be familiar with the knapsack problem.

Besides the arrow keys, you can move forwards or backwards by clicking on the left or right edges of a slide.

This is better described as a 'publish-subscribe pattern using web sockets'. To be brutally honest (take this as constructive criticism), the addition of the HTTP endpoint isn't ve…

Fastmail was once owned by Opera but bought itself to be independent again. I reckon they wouldn't be interested in being owned by another corporation, especially Yahoo.

Took me 4.5 minutes, 103 requests, 13.1 MB transferred data. Going to "Online Store" was also ~4MB more and 25 seconds...

I'll take an extra branch over concatenation and dealing with new line chars any day.

I disagree that it maps most directly to the problem statement. You're performing a common factor computation in your mind, which may be more difficult given numbers other than 3 a…

I'm an F# developer, but still decided to not use F# to build an android app. Dealing with the UI libraries like support.v4 was just too painful from a functional perspective. If y…

Ahhh, that explains it. Thanks for the detective work.

Interesting that one of those presenters is named Howard Payne. Along with Payne being an elevator company, Howard Payne is the name of the antagonist in 'Speed', who hacks an elev…

Your phone version is in the lowest 12%-tile. No offense to you, but as an Android developer, I'm content making my minimum required version Ice Cream Sandwich if it means avoiding…

We don't know how "solved" these questions are because it's closed source.

What do you expect; it's FizzBuzz.

Here's the same approach in F# without the different types of String; therefore, easier to get more functional. let fizzbuzz num = match num % 3, num % 5 with | 0,0 -> "FizzBuzz" |…

Putting the String issue aside, I just wanted to show the beauty of pattern matching. for i in range(1i, 101) { match (i % 3, i % 5) { (0, 0) => println!("Fizzbuzz"), (0, _) => pri…

You could create a backend service that generates 1px swatches of a color; of course, this will only make it one step more difficult to cheat.

I have a friend paying $2200 for a 230 sqft micro-apartment in SOMA. It's like having your bed in a tiny kitchen.

Am I the only one who prefers to work in public libraries? The San Mateo library has plenty of seating/power outlets, a respectable cafe, and free underground parking.
