Is that not what order-3 Markov model means? I mean, I will not lie. I skimmed the article and searched DDG/Wikipedia for "order 3 markov" and that article is what I got. Granted, my statistical comp ling course was ages ag

I do not want to pick a fight, but how is Rust not doing that? Check out /r/lang_name subs on Reddit, you will not find many other communities as vibrant (maybe some, but not the majority). Then check out rust_gamedev, dedicated

If anyone does not recognize dyoo, the owner of hashcollision.org is also the author of Whalesong, a Racket->Javascript system. I think it has been discussed before on HN. https://github.com/dyoo/whalesong Needless

This is very cool. And now even more Racket on HN's front page. I will look at the code later. For those interested, variable-order Markov chaining is different form traditional Markov models. I studied the latter in computational l

by 616c 12y ago
Hmm, I should rephrase. That was, not so ironically, an over-simplification of what I mean. When I say basics, I mean you guys get to core CS principles and notions, not basic in the simpleton sense. I see Racket as a very impressive exte

Very cool, Well, I am still very much intrigued. This has been one of the most fruitful HN conversations I have had. Frankly, JS is metal is not my cup of tea, but I really like where your heads are at, so I will start reading PAPL and re

Yeah, because those like me who mooch off of the free and open brilliance of Racket (I mean, except for paying for a copy of Realm of Racket, but that is indirect; the author has a Scheme/Lisp crush like me, but we all know that goes b

Don't worry, I recognized your name from the PAPL book and I think some Racket stuff. But anyway, I know who you are. :-) If I get it to crash again, I will definitely contact you and file a bug report. I guess the self-hosting compi

Well I started going back to school online, and that means ... you guessed it, Java classes! Instructors recommended jGRASP, but I tried it briefly and did not like it too much. So, I have been playing with IntelliJ Community Edition in pa

Thanks for your work in the Racket world. Thanks for Pyret too, I just do not use it ... yet. I check out your site often enough bc your work comes up a lot here. I am curious how are you typically advising (Brown?) students to use this.

> Wow, I didn't know this. I thought it's another "compiler frontend" for Racket - essentially just a parens-free syntax for people allergic to Lisps. Instead it's a standalone language with self-hosted compiler

And on that note, be sure to take a look at Pyret, another programming language designed by this group, to address some of these student-oriented programming issues. https://github.com/brownplt/pyret-lang/ It is w

Another anecdote to throw in. I have travelled the world round, and not once in my many college DC-NYC Amtrak trips, before, during, and after ID and bag check requirements get checked. This over the course of 4 years of college and worki

As a personal rant, you can ignore the rest if you can tell this is off-topic from here. I spent a lot of time in Egypt, I have a former Egyptian spouse, and I know many Egyptians. This country has so much potential, and it is all going to

I just want to say you are one of those rockstar programmers right now. I was talking today with a co-worker about JRuby and your research, and even he was impressed. I am just starting to get back into programming, and because I need cred

Every time I read one of your comments, it is a fascinating look into cryptography. Now you're telling me you were part of the OpenBSD team? I guess I need to search through your past comments, and a quick Google indicates I missed th

I assume you are referring to the Go GC efforts. I would imagine (someone with zero compiler, VM design, or PL design experience), that is a humongous undertaking. But if it is interesting to anyone, I used to follow news about the FOSS co

I will be honest (full disclosure: I work in an academic institution). This obsessions with plaigarism is utter crap. I know this is an opinion, but I have built a philosophy through years of failing at tasks. If you do not do your work,

I just want to say I am way below your skill level, and I mean no disrepect. I see a lot of standalone (especially playing with Haskell binaries, like pandoc). To use one such example, even Pandoc and company are not even self-contained.
