Python is the language of choice for many ML teams — it’s flexible, expressive, and has the right ergonomics for real-time workflows. But it’s also slow. To make Python faster, I built a Symbolic Python Interpreter to make Chalk’s “Python r

That's odd. I work in a 100% typescript shop and about half the devs use intellij and webstorm full time without much trouble. Jump to definition/auto import/implement interface/etc all work.

Arbitrary example: If you're using SHA256 you're emitting 256bit hashes. Hopefully the distribution of SHA256 outputs is indistinguishable from random (or close enough) or else we've got big problems in other domains. If you&

If you're using typescript and emacs, https://github.com/ananthakumaran/tide is a very good integration with the built-in language server for semantic auto-completion and "jump-to" support. I use it ever

I attempted to use clang-format on a mixed typescript/tsx codebase and found that it mangled jsx expressions. This wasn't surprising but I suspect that typescript users probably overlap heavily with react users so it's not a

It's not hard to automate with raw gulp or webpack, but it does add a significant amount of time to compilation. It roughly doubled our incremental compile times. My team decided it wasn't worth it, but it's possible that a c

TypeScript has dealt with this in the past by adapting to the introduction of `<Foo>` from jsx, which clashed with typescript's casting operator. If this ends up being a problem I'm sure that the TypeScript team will just pi

Lodash has many features that underscore does not have. Also, I am told that Lodash has been implemented in such a way that functions are largely independent of each other so that you can build a custom lodash package that only includes the

I TA for this class. The class is optional for non-engineering majors but has enrollment >= 700 people per quarter. So many people at Stanford take the class that it's a bit of a cultural phenomenon. There are three "intro&quot

I'm not the OP but: The analytical gradient is actually a general tool used in multivariable calculus. It's vector-valued, in that if you take the gradient of a function of three variables: f(x, y, z), then you'll get a 3-vec

I've heard nothing but good reviews of the online version of the class. I took the class at Stanford (and actually worked on the system mentioned in the article) and I found its content to be useful. I believe that the online version c

I'd be surprised if the average high school algebra course covered group theory :-).

The standard argument is that people shift jobs so much because it's the most reliable way to get a large pay raise. If companies stopped making it necessary to hop jobs in order to make closer to what you're worth, then it might

One of the interesting things about classic ciphers is that (as far as I know) they're obviously insecure by modern standards. Most of the time what people want out of modern crypto is something called "semantic security" --

I'm a current Stanford junior. In my experience most people feel stressed if they haven't committed to an offer by early February. The major career fairs for internships take place mid-January, with a more full-time oriented fair

There is probably useful analysis that they can perform in aggregate across all of their users. Perhaps people who read email are more likely to do <x> at a certain time and that signal is only noticeable with more data than you as an

For those sorts of things I think it's completely reasonable to drop into emacs, vim or sublime and then just copy paste back into your primary IDE. When it's a text editing operation that you're trying to do (as opposed to a

To a certain extent that's what the JVM is -- you just have to target its bytecode :-).

One thing to note about this specific problem: this is an example of the traveling salesman problem with a metric. This makes efficient (good) approximation algorithms a possibility. Many NP-hard approximation algorithms classes teach a 1.5

NaCl is actually designed to interoperate with JS in a fairly rich way and this interoperability is designed to be provided entirely by the browser. The idea is that you pick the runtime that you want -- probably the one provided by your br

First, in order to get a clearance you have to be sponsored. Companies have a limited number of sponsorship slots allocated to them by the government. Then, the process behind getting cleared is fairly arduous. You may have a clean record b

I'd be surprised if it were worth it. Even with fairly efficient GPU mining rigs it's getting close.

The need for that form of reasoning seems to me to be a symptom of the way that we go about writing code. We don't need to worry about if line 10 executes before line 11 within a given scope -- we just know this. If we come up with a simila
