   You already have Prof. Gilbert Strang's course in there(made me fall in love with linear algebra), I would like to suggest Prof. Joe Blitzstein's course ( https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/stat110/home ) on proba

   Thanks, I'll fix that, I was so engrossed in making sure that legends are in the right place that I totally overlooked the fact that they are redundant for single curve plots.

   Interesting, @bede @v3gas I would love to hear your thoughts on my plots -- http://abhirag.in/articles/price_data_present.html Too fancy? Too plain? Kinda ok? Kinda new to matplotlib, so your feedback would help :)

    Well, I have already put some extra work in making jupyter notebooks look good when exported as html (for example - http://abhirag.in/articles/train_of_thought_1.html ). I am planning to use Idyll for d3 plots and such,

    Thanks for making this :) As of now I just export Jupyter Notebooks to html, throw them on my site and call it a day but have been meaning to try Idyll for some data visualization.

    I see that you use python and hence I recommend Folium ( https://github.com/python-visualization/folium ). For example I made this ( http://abhirag.in/articles/train_of_thought_1.html ) using it and t

    Kindly don't shoot the messenger(i.e. me) but pipenv does the work of pip + virtualenv + requirements.txt so packaging tool seems like a good name for it. Virtual environments aren't a lot of fun without local packages and reprodu

    The discussion here has quickly gotten out of hand and at the risk of causing more confusion I would like to point out that pipenv( http://docs.pipenv.org/en/latest/ ) seems to be the officially recommended Python p

    In addition to the points flavio81 made, checking at runtime because unless the language is dependently typed i.e. has types as first class citizens(for example Idris) a lot of the information about your code you want to prove to be correct

    We are in complete agreement then :) GameMaker without GML is an extremely constrained environment to make games in.

    Sounds like an interesting analysis, would love to know where Erlang stands. Terseness definitely is a factor in play but I think at the end of the day it is all about where the priorities lie in language design, some languages really take

    I think GameMaker doesn't fall in the "super easy to do something basic, but very restrictive at the upper end" group at all, and though I definitely fall in the newbie spectrum when it comes to gamedev but I feel that games
