I'd like some explanations for the downvotes. What I wrote is documented and I provide a link to a good source of explanations.

It's due to sugar in the vast majority of cases. Some starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

As you learned Caml Light, chances are you went to a French university. As far as I understand, outside of France, OCaml/Caml Light are seldom taught at university. WRT FP, many universities will use Java or C++ to teach programming fu

I question "Unseen in a Century". I lived in Gabon in 2001-2002, and I remember that this was pretty much the way Ebola outbreaks were handled then and there.

I appreciate the fact that one reply to your comment it "yes, not enough macros", and the other is "indeed, too many macros".

This is factually true; however I found that you presented it in a surprisingly negative light, for a contributor of a site called "hacker" news.

I share your opinion, I very greatly appreciate this sensor in the MBP, as it adjusts the screen's luminous emittance and the keyboard backlights brightness. Now, I wonder about its capabilities. Can it also measure "ambient color

Same thing here, I also thought that Flux was designed with white balance harmonisation (wrt the environment) in mind. What I thought would have been neat is the option to use the webcam (or ambient light sensor in macbooks) to actually est

About bountify.co, Why does it request profile write permissions when OAuthing wit github? It puts me off.

Deep learning, as in "series of individually trained autoencoders"? It's a quite specific learning technique. Even if it's currently trendy, there is no particular evidence that any part of the brain works like that. Sur

That page, or at least its title, is another slap in the face of Stallman.

It would be better accepted. The same way as the murder of a X citizen by another X citizen would be less of a fuss than the murder of a X-ian by a Y-ian.

Not really. You can't purchase karma. Or rather: karma that you could purchase with dollars and use to gratify someone or incentives a task would be akin to a specialised currency. Or: money is tradable karma.

You are right. It's interesting that I didn't think of it, probably because switching implementations in compiled languages is often less trivial, and I don't remember doing it. Actually, are there many alternative implementa

I agree, it seems like a much saner thing to do. Now that you make me think of that, I do not know many instances of this. I just could think of https://github.com/clojure-numerics/core.matrix upon which I stumbled rec

How is "blocking online sites" different than "filtering"?

Not sure if your whole reply is sarcastic. See my reply to gjm11 if what you need is an explanation of what I wrote.

I don't understand what you don't understand, given that you are yourself taking each county/town (not sure what is the atomic unit of judicial division here) as one RV to which you associate a winning rate. There are surely

Domain names will probably be sold in bundles with certificates, driving the price of SSL certificates lower.

That is sort of awesome. Developments in robotics not to overcome physics, but to overcome arbitrary man-made rules (outside of a robotics competition). I'd like to see more of that as long as it's not military or violent.

I have been taught fundamental concepts of programming and programming paradigms with OCaml, and I am very grateful for that. To me, it is an expressive, clean, powerful multi-paradigm language that deserves a lot of love.

I can't say how this specific CMU course compares with Ng's online course, but I can comment on Ng's course as compared to several other similar courses I took in Nanyang Tech. U. and Paul Sabatier (Toulouse 3), and my overal

I think they may be trying to get the impression of a mix of "express" as in "fast", with "espresso". Maybe with a bit of "expression" as in "express yourself"?

Can't you just allow a fan site to use your copyrighted stuff with a careful contract, for a ridiculous fee for them? And deny that to corporate leeches?

It's like Daniel Dennett's deepities, just a little less shallow, to cater for the intellectually self-absorbed. (<s> Look at my mice bite-size analysis! </s>)
