This is not peer-reviewed science yet, it's a preprint on Arxiv. Anyone (more or less) can upload anything to Arxiv.

I'd like to see a venn diagram of Snapchat users, people who actually know who Square are, and people who don't trust snapchat's security. I'm willing to bet that people who wouldn't trust snapchat would also know e

You're assumming that programmers will only switch languages if they already "know it". What about other benefits to other languages, such as different paradigms, type systems or other semantic features? Surely to someone who

I think it's quite good - it allows a programmer to conceptually separate her "normal" functions from lambda expressions, even if they're essentially equivalent, and one is syntactic sugar for another.

In a similar vein, how does this compare with (say) CuBLAS or ClMath?

They'd open source it because of this: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/StrategyLetterV.html Valve wants to commoditize the OS market, so that the barrier to getting games working is lower. At the moment, a

Ah, I wasn't really commenting on the pricing - more on the idea of having a "competitor" on your own store.

Because they have to allow it for iOS, otherwise iOS becomes "the platform without Spotify". Imagine if iOS wouldn't allow a native Facebook app - what would happen then? With OSX it's a little different, as there are

I feel like LINQ is attempting to do something for the "big objects" problem. It's currently really for database access, but I've seen a bit of talk about extending it to other resources, e.g. hetrogenous parallel proces

They have a working development prototype, as seen in the video on this page: http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/29/nixie-wearable-drone/ I presume that that's what they're shooting the video from

I think you're looking at #3 the wrong way - it's not a bijection, it's meant to be surjective. Every person is meant to be responsible for one thing, but many people may be responsible for the same thing. The aim of that is

I wonder if it's more subtle than that - if your paper has associated source code, then it's likely that people reading it might try it out, and the ideas that you've presented will stick around more than a short paper with n

To add to that, the concerns that operating system package managers have are very different from the ones that programming language package managers have. With an operating systems package manager, the focus is on shipping working, uber sta

Understandable, but in every other mathematical context (LaTeX for example) a single caret is used as the exponential operator. I guess it's just a convention that's different in different cultures/crowds.

Is it normal to notate powers using double caret notation? (i.e. ^^) I've only ever seen it using a single caret (^), in what presumably is meant to correspond to an ascii version of Knuth up arrow notation ( https://en.wikip

Something no-one else seems to have mentioned in response to you is avoiding monopolies. Various changes to youtube regularly piss off people uploading content to the platform, so having a competitor (twitch) gives them somewhere to run to,

How can I be sure yours isn't off the mark as well? Are there any studies? Any evidence? As is, I can't believe either of you.

by 14113 12y ago
That is definitely be something plausible. From what I've seen, there's a lot of work at the moment in trying to write languages and toolkits to automatically target hetrogenous platforms - which this could be slotted into nicely.

I agree that haskell isn't smart enough, but I think it's a step in the right direction, in that a lot of constructs seem geared to abstracting away the details of how to perform certain computations, and more about describing

Fair I suppose - but I still think it doesn't contradict my point. I believe that what we need is a general (and smart!) enough language, along with advanced enough and intelligent enough back ends, which should solve the problem. It w
