The "Import from Dropbox" feature is currently broken. Shame because it would be useful for data scientists...

When I was a high school senior checking out Johns Hopkins I had the bright idea of going on a run through the city at 11pm. I was from a town that borders Oakland so I thought "this should be fine." I ended up getting chased thro

Does anyone know where he disappeared off to? He seems to post every one and a while. I've never been part of the LuaJIT community but his online presence seems to have dropped off over the past few years. Was it because the new garbag

My favorite blog post of all time is Haberman's "Hello, JIT World: The Joy of Simple JITs" which covers using DynASM. [1] I wish there was better documentation for DynASM. I wonder what cool programming projects would be crea

Similar experience but I had a talk with the recruiter, technical phone interview, and then 3 hour onsite. I thought the interview went OK but they never got back after that - even when I emailed.

Not specifically about your book, but I would love if there was a quicker way to find methods in the docs. Right now, if I want to find the methods used by BTreeMap you have to wade through a good amount of information until you can find ho

If syntax isn't going to be changed, is that really addressing the learning curve of the language? Edit: I'm going to answer my own question here: yes. I just sometimes think Rust is a victim of its own success when people expect

It's hard for these other Electron based editors to completely replace Sublime when they are so much slower. People say that they don't notice how slow Atom or VS Code are, but try running them on a 5+ year old laptop like mine.

True. I live in Seattle and had a friend visiting early last month and I wanted to take him to Vancouver for a day trip. We drove to the border and I explained to the border guard we are just sight-seeing for the day. The guard directed us

Very cool. I've long that that having formal program verification built in to a language and run as part of the compiler is the way forward. Giving the pre and post-conditions for a function is much more reasonable than dropping down t

Also started with 61a in Scheme. How would you compare Scheme to Racket?

Most ML algorithms can be treated as an optimization problem. Convex optimization is not high school level math.

At least it would make the language and ecosystem [slightly] more Google-able.

> No, it's closer to template expansion, "when" is "executed" (for lack of a better word) during compilation. Inactive "when" branches are ignored by the code generator (and type checker, thus they can

Also, 2.0 is the unification of BigCouch (Cloudant's work) with the old single node CouchDB.

Yes, it's geohot's company but I don't think it lends it anymore credibility. Hacking is very different from building a viable product. Moreover, some of his comments make me distrust his judgement. Just from a CNN article th

It really does depend on the troop. I was a boy scout in the Bay Area and we had openly gay scouts and almost all of the kids and parents were atheist.

I would't say that transpiling and compiling are the same.

Really? I have to do this to execute docker commands and it is painful. A lot of child_process I/O and it gets hairy.

It would be up to the citizen scientist to keep up with newly published papers. I think it would be interesting to create an environment that encourages the hobby scientist to follow the forefront of research. Maybe something like the Recur

That subreddit seems to only care about getting hired by Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft. It's funny because there is so much interesting work being done at smaller startups. If you are a new grad and get hired by one of the ab

This isn't even a critique/ridicule of Docker. It's an explanation of the technologies and names used in the satirical video. The author, Ian, actually does a great job of explaining Docker and it's use in this post.

They truly don't. They own the best technology but no driver OR customer loyalty. If a cooperative treats their employees better and with higher wages then why should the best, most active drivers stick with Uber?

I can't speak for MIT but Berkeley has essentially translated SICP material to Python and then you have to write a Scheme interpreter. Students there have more FP experience than most.
