A partial function is a function where all inputs have an output. For example, calling head on an empty list will throw an exception. To make this a total function you’d need to return a Maybe instead.
- "Professor Patton primarily teaches in USC’s Full-Time MBA Program and its Executive MBA Programs in the U.S. and China"
- "He has served as a key advisor to the Center for Asian-Pacific Leadership, a faculty member at the US-China Institute and a leader of MBA learning programs in China and Korea."
Functional programming languages have been doing it for ages. Most "newer" statically typed languages also have it (Swift, Kotlin, Rust) by default. And old languages had it bolted on (C# 8, Java 8, C++ 17).
I think at this point basically everyone has realized null by default is a terrible idea.
> Objects from DataProviders are returned as immutable models. On iOS, where the app uses a CoreData cache, this means the rest of the app no longer needs to access mutable CoreData objects directly, which reduces the need to worry about concurrency issues and avoids the crashes due to accessing data on the wrong thread that are common with CoreData.
Is this the common way of dealing with core data? I am actually doing exactly that at work right now, and was wondering if it was the right decision.
Hey Russ, your company seems to have a really cool intern program. I don't see any open positions though, is it ok if I apply to a dev position as an intern, and if not, are you guys planning on opening any positions soon?
I'm going through Sedgewick's class right now. Is the MIT OCW's course math heavy? It lists "Mathematics for Computer Scientists" as a prerequisite, I am somewhat familiar with the material, but not in a very deep level. Should I take that one before?
