It's little o notation. It does not depend on n. For example x^2 is in O(x^2) but is not in o(x^2).

I do not know why but this game makes the winning font look much better than it is when I use my code. Whenever I try the winning font (b612, fira mono), I always go back to Liberation Mono.

MBAs are seen as people without skin in the game. They are rewarded if things are going well, and are not punished if things go bad. The asymmetry makes these individuals look as if they are here to leech and most of their knowledge is just

I remember that a bunch of my classmates in elementary school knew German through watching Pokemon on a German cartoon channel that was broadcasted in Croatia (required no paid subscription, unlike Cartoon Network). It was incredible, the a

Any idea if amount of cannabinoids produced by our own body is high enough?

Yes, but the usual cases of -> "app starts -> load some state from local storage -> store it in memory for sync access -> do app" sometimes get lost due to the ease of async/await syntax. If you have to chain netw

Sometimes you don't want to pause (with await) and give something else the chance to execute (happens a lot in UI). When code is sloppily written you realize that at some point you can't use much of the existing code outside of as

No async/await is a good thing, IMO. Using fp-ts there is never a need for async/await and the code is still linear, (Promise is transformed to TaskEither<Error, Result>, similar to the example in the article, although you c

This was my experience too. After the initial period where recruiters are a bit afraid to give you your first engagement everything starts flowing really smooth. I started at Upwork and was constantly writing proposals and struggling with t

This is computer modern optimized for printing. It’s not bad, the pixels are constructing the glyphs in a way that makes them good for printing. Bitmap version of the font, I guess.

In Europe some families are still insanely rich from being rich 500 years ago. There's not much being written about them today as many do not seek publicity.

Yes, I saw the figure and that's why I commented that the day 2 conversions for the control are basically giving all of the information in the assumed model. To me it just looks like a whole new batch of assumptions. Might be fictitiou

A/B tests work fine if the signal you are measuring is strong. This is not the case here. Is it even fine to use the distribution assumptions in the later analysis? Looks like these assumptions combined with a higher conversion rate on

I guess it depends on what OP is talking about. Async code can be written with callbacks (callback hell incoming), or with Futures/Promises, or with syntax sugar like async (do notation). Whatever the reason is for using async, I belie

by knuthsat 5y ago
async, when looked at from the "writing code" perspective is horrible. it pollutes every function with async annotation. it allows you to quickly write the code imperatively by just annotating a function and using the async functi

It's just amazing how DL made most work completely irrelevant. Stuff before 2010 in natural language processing is ridiculous. Dynamic programming algorithms, beam search, dependency parsing (grammar) algorithms (going from O(n^3) to O

Damn, first video I open is of castrating piglets. Can't believe it's done while the animal is awake and with no sedatives. Brutal. I'd rather have a farm raising plants than do that kind of stuff.

That's exactly what my wife did. College was extremely stressful and filled with suffering for her. After it ended, she never felt like it really ended. But after we moved to a different country she is a completely new person.

I think it's a normal thing in Hinduism. There's a rituals where you offer the cooked meal to God first, then you eat. The offering is accompanied by a bell.

Yeah, that's my impression too. It's unbelievable that there was right amount of everything in The Matrix. Cloud Atlas, Sense8, and other movies Lana made after The Matrix just feel a bit cringy and off most of the time.
