   Probably because its easier to see the use of functional paradigms in languages you're familiar with. OCaml and Haskell are great languages, but they require a lot of new learning at once.

   They're likely both good starting points. From a cursory glance of Spring 2015, here's why I like 2013 more: 2013 starts with Functor and builds into Applicative then Monad. I like this a lot, as each builds on each other: fmap

   I'd recommend Yorgey's cis194 course to start learning: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/spring13/lectures.html Each `lecture` is comprised of recommended reading material (sourced from LYAH, RWH, Typec

   And Thiel makes it abundantly clear that competition is not the end goal as most markets are not static. So essentially Thiel isn't advocating "pure" capitalism, because using any methodology as a catch-all is bad practice.

   Amazing is not the adjective I would use. Uber is a terrible experience in London (which is a HARD city to navigate). I don't live in London. Whenever I hail a cab I have a semblance of where I'm going and not much else. It is

   Supporting politicians who share policy ideas with your organization is necessary. On the other hand, there are enemies of tech throughout the Democratic party (and friends of tech in the GOP as well), and blanket support of the party like

   I don't trust this stuff. The plural of anecdote is not data, and a couple people who've tried this are not a representative indication of whether this is safe or not. Diet is still not well understood, and current science, IMO,

    He's old, so he must be out of touch. Way to make sweeping generalizations. He's saying the same thing that Benjamin Graham would have said: Bitcoin isn't an investment, it's a speculation like art. Sure, you could mak

    I would love to do this, but it's difficult to sacrifice 10 days in the context of a busy life.

    Neither the abundance of obesity nor intelligent design proponents affects me or my quality of life in any way. So the arguments against Houston collapse to: you have to drive everywhere and weather (essentially). And taking the MUNI isn&#

    The only similarities between the two logos is that they both use script fonts (widely used before Pinterest), and they both use the prefix "Pin". Services like this one pop up all of the time. Little apps like this enhance the use of a si

    Very cool. However, I don't particularly like the fact that I need to add a class to each applicable container. Maybe a configuration file that allows for selection of specific classes/ids instead?

    What? If the people who publish user generated content (e.g. Google, Facebook, etc) are responsible for what their users say, then the internet as we know it is over. There are thousands of comments on Reddit, Facebook, et. al. that could

    I'm not particularly happy with Page's focus on "social." Google Plus shouldn't exist.
