Let's say your immutable DAG has four different 'transformations' (think either a map or a fold on the data). Beam or Spark will take a chunk of your data, partition it somehow (so…

It's awkward to work with fully nested structures. Think about having a map of customer objects which have a list of addresses and you need to update everyone's first address to be…

I really think this is where pure FP shines. If you look at the architecture of something like Apache Beam, while you describe your computations in a language like Java or Python, …

I don't have time (nor the endurance) for a 90 minute run, so could you combine the two? I often do a 14 hour fast and then go for a 20 minute run combined with some calisthenics o…

Would love to get your take on if python is popular in large organizations because of the existing libraries or if it is the language asethetic itself? To an outsider who knows a b…

This isn’t legal. A corporation that leases someone a car and a house is paying them a taxable income, regardless of it not being a cash income.

When I would commute from Orange County so Santa Clara the flight was often ~40 minutes. Combine with takeoff and landing it didn't make a lot of sense to pull out an addition devi…

Depends on the language (I don't use it for Java), but for Scala and python I definitely prefer it. I'd definitely recommend using TMux with Vim, I've mapped my tmux navigation to …

We can write a general procedure to see it any given program halts within n-steps however.

>Sure, that's possible, but the opposite is also possible: it might be wrong for most programs we actually write. We could confirm this though! It's not like we can't find out if a…

It might only be wrong for programs that have never existed and will ever exist.

>Only one thread actually mutates anything, and its the same one over and over Sounds great in theory and usually results in fantastic average case, but you get a hot partition and…

I think it's important to point out that you can do calculus and arithmetic and only construct proofs that are provable. The possibility of deriving unprovable but true statements …

> The day rates look high, but they have to pay self-employment taxes and health insurance Most SWEs doing 'contract work' aren't actually 1099 contractors, what it means is they w…

Both at my current startup job and at my previous Verizon job, a lot of my time is scaling out existing services and also boostrapping core infrastructure projects that prioritize …

You don't need async/await to do monadic comprehension in Scala, it's built into the language from the very beginning with `for`. This was inspired by do notation, which came about…

I think he means that the Fed can directly and indirectly increase the money supply, which disproportionately benefits people and corporations leveraged into assets. Hence, increas…

I'm postulating that any modern CRUD app framework has Monads, Monoids, and other categorically inspired structure, even if they don't call it that or have a way to abstract over i…

>I was on a team building good old crud apps using monads, monoids, categories Here's the thing, if you look at a basic Spring crud app, you are also using Monads, Monoids, Categor…

SBT in the last few years is nothing like SBT of five years ago. I agree it was a convoluted mess at one point, and now I much prefer it to Gradle.

I have the same issue with my PX, every two months or so I have to use the paper clip to hard reboot them. Kind of annoying to need to do for a $400 pair of headphones, but they so…

Interesting comment, definitely want to hear more. I have concerns about Beam/Dataflow, but they seem different to yours. The dataflow product seems to run older versions of Apache…

I've been approached about various data engineering jobs over the last couple years and the job descriptions have varied wildly. It has been everything from: 1. SQL/analytics wizar…

I'm not even sure the core Beam engineers understand it all! Look at how Kafka offset acks are handled now: https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/io/kafk...
