I use both. Frink is on my phone. I have SMath Studio (or Smath)on my phone, which is a MathCAD clone, and is now free even for commercial use [1]. I have a bunch of tools in my toolbelt from working in engineering for many years. I always

Thank you for an informative response. I had stayed in London and other areas in England back in the 80's and really found the black cabs very helpful and enjoyable. I think the training and requirements produce a good bunch of workers

If the concern over rider safety was that somebody could pose as an Uber driver and update a photo to make it work, why are black cabs not also deemed unsafe? Couldn't somebody borrow a friend's black cab, slap on a fake photo, an

Yes, as I responded above where typically you are in an office or report to someone regularly. Sales people make some of the highest salaries on a low salary with commissions for the sales they produce.

Maybe. People hire by the hour or salary after an interview, and supposedly vetting the employee to be able to produce an expected amount of work at a reasonable quality, while being sequestered in an office under supervision (usually). A t

I'm not heavily invested in speed benchmarks, but I am a big fan of APL/J/K, and I am always glad to see how others write code with them. I like that I can handwrite a J or APL solution, while thinking it through before getti

I find myself needing to move between both to really understand something, however, once I understand the problem I am working on I love using geometric algebra to play with it. I love Pablo Colapinto's Versor library and most of his w

I was just trying to create generative graphics in Corman Lisp [1], since it creates Windows executables, and then I stumble upon this. The Game of Life demo in the examples directory is fun. I have been playing with F# a few times a year,

I have been playing with neural nets since the 80s, and J since around 2010 or so. This was the first I had heard of ELM, and having a J implementation, I dove in. My interest is mainly academic, since I do not work in the ML community, but

Believe me I went through that explanation, and a few others in deep conversation with my Portuguese and Macanese friends as well as with a Matteo Ricci scholar. It seems there was an old Portuguese spelling Macao, and there is Macáu with t

Ken Iverson was also 'one guy' who formulated APL while working at Harvard University. He later wrote the APL book: A Programming Language while at IBM. I am one who thinks all of the effort that went into, and is still going into

How did they misspell Macau/Macao? I lived there for 7 years, and at first I thought Macao was the Portuguese spelling due to the -ao ending. It's more complicated than that when you start to research the two spellings.

I am also a fan of the way it simplifies things for me. There are efforts to introduce it earlier in education as an alternative to the normal way these things are taught. One uses Geogebra to build up from simple to more complex concepts:

Or not, since if something fails you have to ship it to TE and pay them IIRC $125 to look at it. I bought and own an OP-1, that still works great, however, the sequence you execute on boot up to get numbered list of options, such as update

Wow, thank you for such an informative reply! I am going to try this out. One of my pet peeves with Julia is that my main machine is a Windows 10 box, and things like cudanative.jl say they only install on Mac and Linux. I have an old 2013

I am not a fervent Lisper, but dropping the parentheses will take me away from the times I do go to Racket, and just go back to SBCL or Gambit or Chicken Scheme. The article admits it is to try and win more share of users, but that is not a

I keep orbiting Julia, because of developments like this one. I am an old Lisper/Scheme guy. How does this compare to say R6RS-AD[1] or cl-autodiff[2] or Deriva for Clojure/Java[3]? I realize Julia has femtolisp inside, yet anothe

I purchased Shadron as another shader program to play with since Shadertoy was web-based, and I wanted something small and local. I have had great fun playing with it especially while taking lunch at work. I don't code for a living, so

I've been playing with Zig. I realize it is not at all ready for big companies, big projects, but it is a lot easier for me than Rust. I am learning SPARK 2014 for my needs instead of Rust. Rust has gained a lot of traction over the pa

Yes, it was an alpha brain wave toy. I found the visual feedback to me being able to affect my body state strangely exciting. I can see how the Transhumanist movement is fueled by experiences and technologies such as these.
