If you are looking into higher mathematics, e.g group theory, etc, do go over Concepts of Modern Mathematics by Ian Stewart.


You should try webrtc. googles stadia is built upon webrtc, so I assume it should be able to give latency in miliseconds.


It will help apps which require interaction from users, like google stadia's game streaming. for other use cases, I think one does not care even if the feed is delayed by few seconds.


Another interesting use case someone mentioned here before is the world cup - you don't want a penalty shoot-out ruined by your neighbours cheering a few seconds before you see the goal.

A few seconds would also such for live streaming where the streamer interacts in chat.


Knuth in one of his volumes ( I think vol I) has described this very nicely. way better than what was in K&R.


I could not get this logic. Can you explain more? problem would have been, if he got that money before demonetization, or he would have bought lands/gold, even then , if money comes in bank, "blackness" goes away, no?


Just few days before demo, huge huge amounts of cash was deposited in his managed loxal bank, & when demo was declared, as that money was already in bank's vault, it was safe. Also, the bank was type of Co-operative, kind of local credit union, these types of banks does not need to be interconnected between branches or with a central place, neither do they need to keep digitally timestamped records, manual book keeping on paper is allowed.


Well this is what the headline says.

Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank received deposits worth Rs 745.59 cr soon "after" the policy was announced, according to an RTI reply.

Please check it is "after" the policy and not Just few days before demo as you claim


That's exactly what has happened, black money got converted to white with help of politicians like Amit Shah. This FT article touches on this aspect.

Even if you remove Amit Shah from equation, you can say black money converted to white, by paying 30% tax.


If you are ready to pay then go for Pluralsight, it has couple of good courses on OOP.


+1 , we wont even know when this boundary get crossed. however I think it inevitable


If you are just asking Algo and probably pseudo code, these questions might help, but if you ask to write the proper code with boundary conditions etc, that makes it difficult even if you know the Algo. Of course I am assuming that no one memorizes the code ;).


I used to give people a description of how an algorithm was implemented, and ask them to write it out in code. Specifically we'd take the conversation to boundary conditions, failure conditions, testing, etc, from there. I was reasonably happy with the outcome.


super awesome!!


If you want to learn "functional" aspect and not only library and syntax, I would recommend SICP.

https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html


How much of this book is "functional" aspect and how much is everything else? Going through the TOC, it looks like the book tries to start from 0.

Would you recommend any particular sections for someone who's looking to only understand the functional parts?


Your comment tells me you should start from the beginning and read the whole thing. :)

Just give it a try. I was hooked after first chapter!


atleast go through initial 4 chapters. then go through the coursera lecture of Odersky. Though SICP is lisp, the structure is very similar to scala.
