NNs have complex non-convex loss functions that don't admit a closed-form solution. Even for small models, it can be shown that it's an NP-complete problem. In fact, even for linear regression (least squares), which has a closed-f

As a high schooler interested in things that are probably out of my league, I love reading this kind of stuff. The author mentions their unconventional style at the beginning: hyperlinks, color, italics, exclamations, parentheses, side note

I think dependent types are stronger than refinement types because they can encode types that don't necessarily have to be decidable. Refinement types are used for creating subsets of a type, while dependent types can be used for creat

AFAIK React itself is performant enough, the bottleneck is client code within components. I suppose the change is mostly for full enterprise web apps at the Facebook level that likely have thousands of components running at the same time. C

I wrote an article with the same name! [1] The problem solving based approach seems to be the most relatable and easy for people to get an idea of what monads are. Nice work. [1] https://blog.kabir.sh/inventing-monads

Yup, I think they definitely found the sweet spot for making revenue from games — offering players sweet returns if they keep playing (you buy the battle pass for 1000 vbucks, but you can earn back 1500 just from playing casually) while sti

They pioneered the "battle pass" model for cosmetic items, and their constant release of skins, dances, etc can create a lot of recurring revenue I imagine.

Hey, I wrote a post with the same title [1]! I feel like everyone writes a blog post once monads finally click, and this one is great — I like how you introduced them through solving real-world problems. :) [1] https://blog.kabir

Their semantics might be consistent, but they sort of leak into the parent. Height and width are local to what the component renders, and they don't depend on the parent (as long as they aren't relative sizes). But things like mar

How does it become any more object-oriented? I saw it more as "purely functional", where components are the functions and styling outside of the component is a side-effect. Avoiding side-effects like margin or align-self makes com

My bad then, that's fair. JS has been deviating from C-style syntax and it really shows in this article haha

Sorry about that haha, the style of programming in this guide is very different from C++, and it relies heavily on currying and lambda functions using next-generation JavaScript syntax. Nonetheless, I think it can offer a new perspective

Thanks haha, I had exposure to computers from a very early age, and I try to make functions/systems representing things I'm curious about. It's helped me grasp ideas and come up with new ones, and I should probably write abou

Hey! I attempted to make the code snippets use practical concepts, but they aren't very practical for use in actual JavaScript code — the reason being that JavaScript is not a functional language and doesn't have syntactic sugar f

Thank you! I'll mention "You Could Have Invented Monads" along with a couple of other great resources that helped me at the end of the post.
