Как подавать заявки в вузы США

Процесс подачи заявок проходит примерно так:

  • Сначала надо предварительно выбрать вузы, в которые вы будете подавать заявку.
  • В августе-сентябре надо зарегистрироваться на три стандартных экзамена и оплатить их ($255 + $150 + $195). Отправка результатов в четыре вуза бесплатно, но их надо будет выбирать между регистрацией и днем экзамена.
  • Где-то к концу октября их всех нужно уже сдать. Потом можно за дополнительные деньги рассылать результаты в другие вузы.
  • Где-нибудь в середине ноября попросить трех людей написать вам рекомендации.
  • В начале декабря заняться заполнением анкет в вузах.
  • Написать Statement of Purpose.

What is the appeal of dynamically-typed languages?

Kris Nuttycombe asks:

I genuinely wish I understood the appeal of unityped languages better. Can someone who really knows both well-typed and unityped explain?

I think the terms well-typed and unityped are a bit of question-begging here (you might as well say good-typed versus bad-typed), so instead I will say statically-typed and dynamically-typed.

I'm going to approach this article using Scala to stand-in for static typing and Python for dynamic typing. I feel like I am credibly proficient both languages: I don't currently write a lot of Python, but I still have affection for the language, and have probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of Python code over the years.
