It's an abuse of notation/language which generally makes sense given that there's usually an "obvious" choice of functor, and the monad structure is uniquely determined by the functor. That sort of notational abuse comes up all the time in math (the group `G`, the ring `R`, the space `X`, etc.). In particular, `Maybe`...

The aging/fading hack is really simple. Instead of using a 1 or 0 for each cell to mean alive or dead, use a bigger number to mean alive, say 255. Now each time you calculate a generation, alive cells get 255 instead of 1, and checking for alive neighbors mean checking for 255 instead of 1.. no big deal. Next change...

This kind of stuff is why in computational complexity theory we also study boolean circuits. For instance, intuitively, hardware can be so efficient because of massive (and easy) parallelization, and computational complexity theory formalizes this by relating the complexity classes AC and NC.

This is also real in India. I am 24 and its really scary to see people of 35 something leaving for low paid management jobs. Its not that they did not keep up with the software trends, it just that they began to get left out. I cannot even imagine someone above 35 doing any actual coding at my workplace.

8% of all programming jobs... Ok, but what percentage of the global population? Also, haven't there been more in-depth articles about that coal miner coding school where it turned out that only a couple of them end up being placed in a job, and many of those are actually working for the school? I think any working de...

Idris, I find, is a much more practical language than Haskell. In fact, I am going from Idris to Haskell myself (eventually).

I left just as I was turning 30, now 41. Best decision ever! I work 35-40 hours a week. I enjoy my boat, classic cars and lots of family trips :))

The thing is the qualifier here is wrong. In two different perspectives, at that. Firstly it's not Valley companies, it's "I want my dream" startup companies. Which are generally horrible in the first place, from business management to budget to budget calculation-- (one I know figured they could get away with paying ...

I never understood those interviews, they always felt like IQ tests. Sure you want people who also understand the field and you may need to filter thousands of applications. But then you get people who just trained for those tests, or copy and paste programming challenges from stackoverflow. So nothing is won here.
