Haha this is the most amazing feature matrix I've ever seen. On a more serious note, modular music is an extremely interesting and growing area and just about every module is surprisingly expensive; I'm curious to how well this tr

And if people’s expectations of what links look like (blue, underlined) are so distracting it massively impacts the readers ease to read the actual content?

And what then couldn’t be called "hardcore computer science?"

by Jenz 5y ago
There are large and finite structures in mathematics that would be very odd to call computer science. Take group theory and, say, the monster group [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_group

This is true, Crystal does compile pretty slowly, but this is the cost of its great static type system. The balance between Crystals expressiveness and performance is truly wonderful and a joy to program with

Haskell is fantastic for programming systems where types are not just a tool, but central to the goals of the program. E.g. a program for converting one type of markup files to another (from one type to another type), like pandoc [1], which

This must have piqued a number of readers interedts, mine included. Are you reffering to something like Matlab? Julia?

They claim the inverse function of f(a,b) = a + b, is f(a,b) = a - b. Surely this is wrong. By my limited understaning of the basic structures of functions; when f: R^2 -> R, then f inverse ought to be R -> R^2 right? And when f is ju
