Re:Scala development in Vim on Thursday June 11, 2015 @04:01PM (#9701972)
Did not face any issue with speed, especially in the latest IDEA version. I run it on ssd with i7. There some minor issues like :w is useless in ide as it saves it anyway and recording does not work for me. But the benefits of ide + functional vim greatly outweighs just using vim.

Re:Databricks Scala Style Guide on Tuesday March 17, 2015 @04:07PM (#9220995)
Isn't is better to use async/await over for comprehension, since its more clear and easy to understand. Edit: My bad just did my scala assignment, overlooked the details and thought it was a Future :)

Wouldn't the worst case space complexity be the same then? for eg: ( { [ ] } ) as you will be keeping index for each the symbols. Technically it can be implemented, but isn't stack a better approach?

Ask HN: What are some good books to improve on object oriented design?

Posted by nitishmd on Thursday February 19, 2015 @03:05PM
from the ask-hn dept.

What books would you recommend to improve on object oriented design? I know nothing beats experience, though I would like to know what books have you read that has improved your knowledge on OO design and you highly recommend.I have been planning to read Code Complete and The pragmatic programmer. What are your thoughts on these books?

Re:Distributed systems readings on Thursday December 04, 2014 @09:22AM (#8699289)
I agree. He's probably one of the best teachers, can explain difficult concepts in very simple terms.
Re:Distributed systems readings on Thursday December 04, 2014 @09:18AM (#8699270)
Yup, thats one course I wanted to take but could not. Would be great if cmu could give access to class video lectures.

Re:Ask HN: What are your favorite scholarly papers? Why? on Monday December 01, 2014 @12:16AM (#8679632)
That sounds like an interesting project to do in spare time. Can you link to the project description? or your universities class notes?
Re:The Algorithm Design Manual on Friday November 21, 2014 @06:27PM (#8644000)
This is really a great book to read if your prepping up for an interview or in general just want to study algorithms. This book is much more readable as compared to CLRS which is very dense and pedagogical. This book is more like novel as in the author also describes his personal experiences in short snippets called war stories which are pretty fun to read. The second half of the text book describes problems and solutions. If your looking interview prep then the 2nd part of text book would be really helpful.

Excellent! Thank you. If this code is open sourced may be people can contribute a lot more algorithms!
