Is there a way to get the full book in English? It looks like the website and github ( https://github.com/koki0702/dezero-book/tree/master/en ) only have the first 10 of 60 steps, and the link to purchase

Thanks, this is helpful! I think what I'm trying to understand is this: if I use EdgeDB in production, how often will I end up dropping down to the SQL level to debug things? If I'm trying to debug a slow query, can I do it at the

I'm wondering about the physical level—or at least how the EdgeDB conceptual level is translated to the Postgres conceptual level. The docs, and the comment you linked to, have helped me get pretty clear about the EdgeDB conceptual lev

What's a good way to develop a mental model about what's happening under the hood in EdgeDB? With SQL, I have a mental model of how things work under the hood. For instance, I think of each table as being stored separately on disk

I love Lichess's feature comparison page ( https://lichess.org/features ), which helps users decide whether to upgrade to a premium account.

That's right, it's essentially sandboxing the scripts. But I think the real innovation is an automated system they've created for writing the sandboxing code based on tracing the execution of the malicious/ad scripts in

Correct. I am a Canadian who recently traveled to Canada. I filled AriveCAN out at home, printed it out, and brought the printed receipt to the border.

This is super interesting! With a traditional interview and job offer process, a new employee can ramp up without worrying their job is on the line. And I think this is important, because it can take awhile to ramp up to full productivity,

This is a neat tool! There’s one more feature I’d want before using it seriously, which is a field for stock market return rate. If my down payment is 50,000, then in the rental (apartment) case I want to estimate how much I would be earnin

I fully support this trend of people thinking critically about college and making their own decisions about it. However be careful when dropping out if you'll ever want to work outside the country. Most countries require a 4 year degree for

Really fun, but it seems like it provides JS input even if you use python. This causes all of the input cases to be marked as incorrect. For the Arith Geo question, here was my code: https://gist.github.com/1809940 and here was the result

Thanks for the feedback guys! I intend to do more interpreter/compiler projects so perhaps you will end up considering one of my future projects sufficiently interesting or exotic :)

Thanks for the feedback. It does support environments - if you check the source code it refers to environments as 'scope'. It is not possible to properly implement lambda without implementing environments.

Actually, I think that is the perfect question to ask. Knowing what you want to learn about is a huge step in the right direction. The author presumes that everyone interested in coding should have a high level of confidence already. I disa

I'm starting to become tired of such liberal use of the words 'hack' and 'hacker'. _Maybe_ 'marketing hack' would have been ok, but honestly there isn't even any programming involved here. On an entirely separate note, nice product name. An

I believe that good code is understandable, consistent, and easy to edit. This is because we basically do three things with code, which correspond to the above: read it, integrate it into projects, and change it/add to it. If code is writte

It is very rare these days that you'll come up with an idea that hasn't been done. What's important is that you do it better than anyone else - so take a look at how they're doing it and figure out how you can do it better.
