Backtracking is an algorithm for finding all (or some) of the solutions to a problem that incrementally builds candidates to the solution(s). As soon as it determines that a candidate cannot possibly lead to a valid solution, it abandons the candidate. Backtracking is all about choices and consequences.

In this article I’m trying to explain the difference/similarities between dynamic programing and divide and conquer approaches based on two examples: binary search and minimum edit distance (Levenshtein distance).

Here's a recap of how you should be spending your day at work:

9:00AM-3:30PM: Start by reading your checkpoint notes from the day before so you can get started immediately, then work normally.

3:30PM-4:45PM: Continue on existing task, if you’re finished then transition to small tasks and planning.

4:45PM-5:00PM: Checkpoint your work, then leave your office.

5:00PM-…: Whatever you want to do.

very nice! especially this one:
Investing hack: Give compounding the decades it requires.

Très belles photos d’architecture d’intérieur

bonne explication à propos des emails

So to avoid all of this, I’m just going to say that no, time doesn’t exist, therefor writing code for it doesn’t matter, so boom, we’re done here! Thanks for reading.

To read

great article on what's expected as the output of a UNIX tool.

This is a web book, designed to be read on the web (with or without an internet connection).

TL;DR add a bonus to newer content based on uncertainty

Interesting write-up. The #1 quote for me is:

And as near as I can tell, this is 100% why Docker is winning. Forget all the nonsense you read about Docker making deployment or security or orchestration easier. It doesn’t. But it is emerging as a standard, something a person can learn at one company and then take to another company. It isn’t messy and ad-hoc the way a custom bash script would be. And that is the real argument in favor of Docker. Whether it can live up to that promise is the gamble.
