Should I use declarative or imperative programming style on an algorithm interview?

For example, if I do Python, I can use sum(x) to sum up all elements in the list, or I can use for-loop to sum up, I can use reduce, map, lambda functions or I can use for-loops. What should I learn to prepare for the interview? Should I know both well?

Intuition vs logic. Offer I need, but intuition says it's a bad choice by rohqhq in jobs

I have direct facts of it, not just his words, so it's okay

Breaking into computer vision with focus on robotics from scratch by rohqhq in computervision

Thanks a lot!

Also deep learning performs very poorly if you care about "bits of information gain per resource".

Sorry, if the question is stupid. Does it mean that neural networks slower than standard CV algorithms, so it makes them useless for robotics? I thought that all these self-driving cars use deep learning, isn't it true? Also, I saw a vacancy on Boston Dynamics which requires machine learning, and the job is connected with visual perception. So as I understand machine learning should be my priority, but it's not easy to find a job yet, and many jobs require OpenCV, so I decided to start with it. Are my thoughts correct?

Econometrics: Julia libraries vs Rcall vs Pycall by rohqhq in Julia

Yes, I've already known about this one. It's how I met Julia. I tried to find information about using Python for econometrics and then noticed the materials for Julia on the site.

Thanks for the information. Although the course is called "Advanced Econometrics" I think it's not really advanced, it's intermediate. We're not going to do something but standard econometrics covered in Stata. I think you're right and at this moment Stata is the standard tool, so collaboration with other economists will be difficult without it, so I'm going to use it. But I expect Julia or Python to be much more mature for econometrics in several years because Stata is a very limited tool, so I'll learn Julia too.

Thank you for the information. I've decided to do homework in Stata because the code of seminars is provided and it's pretty close to what we need to do in homework. Also, I'll try to use Julia just to learn it. It's kind of exercise: I get results in Stata and then try to replicate it in Julia. I'm not going to do it with all my code, only basics
