Have you ever done much optimization or worked on solvers? DP tends to come up often in that type of work.

I would say going further back in time, for example, MSFT during the early 2000s, the interviews were far worse, it was "fermi" types of questions (e.g, https://www.innovativeteachingideas.com/blog/an-excellen

Like everything else, it's an opportunity cost. Personally, I think LC is a great return on time invested. It takes far less time and money than say, any of the traditional gatekeepers, even for example a CS degree, or even perhaps a g

> What if you aren't willing or able to relocate, though? Many jobs are fully remotable now (tho it varies from almost all of them like Meta, to almost none of them like Apple). Sometimes slightly less money.

It seems like depending on how you configure typescript (e.g, in tsconfig), typescript is already something like an ensemble of mini-languages with different dialects and semantics. Much more so than other languages. But I agree, restricted

I think many cryptocurrencies are on the edge of pump and dump schemes, amplified by social media. A friend of mine made a decent amount just tracking the tweets of Elon Musk and other coin influencers a few years ago.

> It's not at all a readable language imo. It is very much write-optimized. It has tons of code golfing and one liners. Agreed. This might have been applied to the "Zen of Python" days back in 1999, when the competition wa

JSON like it or not, is the world's most dominant data exchange format, so much so that processing JSON is a not so insignificant part of all data center CPU cycles. Julia has one good library for this (JSON3.jl), but it really should

Why? I'll give you my two cents since I've tinkered with both languages extensively (tho I mostly write Python or C++ professionally, and Scala in the past). I'd say TypeScript has a lot of things that are missing from Julia

It kind of sounds like a cautionary tale for other tech companies wading into the health space or medicine (e.g, calico, deepmind).

I would say there isn't a completely ideal language yet. Perhaps if Julia and Typescript had a baby: gradual typing structural subtyping multiple dispatch interfaces with declaration merging

Why should they necessarily put the sole R&D center in America? They are all international companies, unlike the old AT&T.

It's Columbus, so yes. It's also one of the fastest growing cities in the upper midwest, afaik. There are a ton of good big10 engineering schools, and columbus should be able to draw from the east coast as well, since it's a
