“Asking an artist to become enough of a mathematician to understand how to write a font with 60 parameters is too much.”

techcrunch:

We looked at the top 100 venture firms globally to study women in venture capital and their impact on female founders. We found that 7% of partners at top 100 venture firms are women. Between 2010 and 2015, 10 percent of venture dollars globally, a total of $31.5 billion, funded startups that reported at least one female founder.

Read the comprehensive study here and reblog if you know a female founder!

“The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.”

It’s fucking awesome.

It’s like the bible of algorithms.

Study it if you haven’t already (a simple search will guide you to the pdf ;) )

Simulated Annealing

This space features a number of valleys filled with sub-optimal plateaus. If you use your original “upwards climb” strategy, you may find yourself stuck for eternity. Alternatively, you could try searching the entire space, but then you run the risk of violating Clementia’s “sufficient haste” clause.
The trick is to modify the initial strategy to sometimes accept a downwards move, which will help prevent you from getting stuck at a sub-optimal plateau. Such a path might look like this:

Wed, 07 Feb 2018 00:09:40 -0500

Composition over inheritance (or composite reuse principle) in object-oriented programming (OOP) is the principle that classes should achieve polymorphic behavior and code reuse by their composition (by containing instances of other classes that implement the desired functionality) rather than inheritance from a base or parent class.^[2] This is an often-stated principle of OOP, such as in the influential book Design Patterns.^[3]
