I have a Remarkable tablet which I think is the only direct competitor to Sony's writable e-paper tablets. It's really jank! That's to be expected of early adoption. But also, it's nice to use. I love taking math notes i

Oh hey, I was raised Mandaean. Neither of my parents spoke the language and were some of the first immigrants to America so I didn't really participate in the community much. A priest visited the area in my youth and I was baptized. La

In mathematics there's always several ways to apply one's senses to understand and manipulate a concept. For example, an equation can be understood as being a string of symbols or a commutative diagram, or as a string diagram. The

I've done a 9-5 in mostly Haskell since 2013. If you have specific questions about using Haskell in production, I can share my experience. If you've had a bad experience with a piece of tech and draw a broad conclusion, I think it

The last school was closed in the far distant year of 1996. Do you really think Canada in 2018 is that far removed from 1996 ? What exactly happened in that intervening period that will prevent such an atrocity in the future?

It's possible to indoctrinate without violence, you know that. It's possible for educational institutions to be ideologically motivated and coercive without starving their subjects. In fact, perhaps the it's the case that the

I don't understand the complaint here, Quantum Field Theory is physics just as much as Quantum Mechanics?

> “Quantumn mechanics is just such and such theory in dimesion 1.” Well, quantum mechanics is "just" 0+1 quantum field theory which is actually a good insight and not at all dismissive.

A particular fft in practice may be discrete but the relation between fft's of different resolutions of the "same" signal hints at the infinite structure which bundles up all the finite subspaces into one conceptual object.

I have a commit on GHC (a very modest one). The compiler is written in a mix of somewhat old Haskell style and new which makes sense since it's one of the oldest and largest codebases in the language. There is a constant drive to moder

We basically ban throwing exceptions in pure code at my shop; usually we use ExceptT or throwIO or something. I used to think the multiplicity of error handling constructs in Haskell was confused and bad, but they all have their uses. The k
