I quite liked the application process, it was very smooth. I'm interested to see how the rest of the process goes – since the two interviews are just chatting about projects I've worked on and having someone watch me code, it does

I hope that the Rust devs end up doing the "right thing", which from this article seems like going back and fixing Rc, instead of just marking mem::forget as safe. They're still pre-1.0, and anything they do now they will be

Just released IHaskell 0.6, which supports and requires IPython 3.0 and higher! So you may now be able to use Hackage to install, and use with new IPython. (That said if you have problems I still recommend the Github route; especially the b

I recommend installing IPython 3 with pip, cloning the repository, and then running ./build.sh ihaskell. If that doesn't work, file an issue and I'll be happy to help figure out the installation woes. (Note that ihaskell ins

Hey all! Author of IHaskell and Kronos here. Feel free to ask any questions :) Sadly Kronos is outdated now, because it is based on IPython 2. IHaskell now supports IPython 3 / Jupyter only, as of the release that I'm going to try

Both of those rely on having proper cabal/ghc or python/virtualenv preinstalled on the host computer; you could ship cabal/ghc and python/virtualenv and then use a sandbox or virtualenv, but at that point you might as we

Hey all! I'm really excited to announce this first release of Kronos Notebook, which is just IPython [0] packaged as a Mac app totally independent of any external environment. It comes with its own Python interpreter and package databa

I'm a big fan of the style used here, specifically the extra CSS on top of default IPython notebooks. If you're curious, like me, as to where the special styling is coming from – take a look at the last cell of the notebook. It im

As someone who has worked Neovim and written Neovim plugins, can you comment on how ready it is for "production" use? Could I switch over to it from Vim now, while using all my old Vimscript plugins? Could I right now use it and w

In addition to the libraries mentioned above, there's also some very good testing frameworks (which can run test suites composed of HUnit and Quickcheck tests), such as HSpec and tasty (and various extensions such as tasty-golden for

As he predicted, I was with him until his rant about generics. While the example he makes support his point, that's nothing specific to generics but instead to the implementation of generics. For example, he uses the following exampl

The last example in the more detailed notebook [0] linked from that page is also pretty cool, especially with the graphs. If you're familiar with Haskell or other similar languages, the code is fairly easy to read. [0] http:/&#x2

I think this is a good example of a place where different people can just have fundamentally different values. I don't see wearing more formal clothing as "acting like grown-ups". Similarly, I don't see the White House a

Disclaimer: This sounds critical of Haskell and may seem like disagreeing with what you're saying, but neither of those are intended. I agree with what you said, and use Haskell almost exclusively for programming. Completely agreed on

I would be interested in seeing a similar list for Haskell. Like OCaml, it's a great language, but definitely has a few long-standing warts that could be fixed. (Among these, the many competing streaming libraries and cabal hell come t

Is this project open-source, under some open-source license? Back when we saw it a few weeks ago, it looked like it was an open-source project, but now it looks like you're charging money for it... but the source is on GitHub? Could yo

You could try IHaskell[0] for playing around with Haskell. It is like GHCi, but provides a notebook interface where you can enter multiline expressions and do declarations, so it is a lot closer to real Haskell. (It can be a bit of a paint

I would highly recommend getting involved somehow with IPython. It's a great platform and not a bad codebase, and yields some pretty cool stuff!

That's well put. Jesus Christ, I didn't realize it could get this bad. This is like if someone took the usual sexism stories, magnified them beyond all possible imagination, and made it reality. Somehow I must've been lucky

Though these slides might not be too great without the video, there's a really great write-up of some GHC internals here: http://ezyang.com/jfp-ghc-rts-draft.pdf It's just a draft but it's pretty great.

In addition to issues raised by other commenters, one of the problems with deep learning (deep nets in general) is that they can be very hard to train. If you're interested in some techniques people have been using, I highly suggested

Just as a counter point, I was a huge fan of the changes in version two. "Wizzy and interactive" can be incredibly important for a wide range of applications. Half the reason interpreters are wonderful is that they drastically red

Have you taken a look at Julia? [0] I am rooting for it to replace Matlab, Python/Numpy/Scipy, and R all in one go. It's an awesome language. [0] http://julialang.org/
