Agreed, well worth the price. The most useful books i have are these 2 Math for Physics undergrads books that capsulize the first 2 years of calculus, linear algebra etc that all math, physics, EE students go thru http://www.s

This reminds me of a few questions I have. Some people claim that perfect or absolute pitch gains the ability to instantly recognize harmonic structures, other people say it's a hindrance to anybody that needs to transpose, or, say, p

I was homeschooled in math thru high school, my Dad's approach was to give me 3-4 books on any subject and his own explanation, which usu involved partial diff eqs, which meant i had no idea what he was talking about. Now you can go t

Pretty good blog, i like the other posts on CDbaby vs reverbNation et al and getting your stuff stolen, which has happened to almost every pro musician friend of mine except for pianists. Unfortunately, a guitar in a gig bag is probably not

Thanks, didn't know about that (the 4 books from Oreilly, Manning and Pragmatic are all terrific). Another thing is if getclojure could get some pruning and discussion of corner/edge cases for each core function/macro/sp

I thought i was bad at math, but compared to people in my high school calculus class, of whom one is an econ prof at a top university, one a MD/PhD, and they weren't even the best student. The best student was so delighted to sol

Yeah, those Toronto guys hated IBM APL. I had a friend whose Dad got him a job in high school working for Ken Iversen at IBM, who taught him APL programming.

I think the "use D or Go or rust" or "there is no alternatives" debate has run its course until people actually do big projects in rust. I do feel sorry (to the extent you can feel sorry for somebody who probably makes $

my first programming job (as in 12-14 hours/day) was mostly IBM APL2, some C and fortran (we often built parallel models that had to tie out to the penny). That's actually pretty idiomatic (doesn't use any language extension

I think you would have to check converted code for all the well documented interop issues: annotations, static members, checked exceptions etc. The Manning books "In Depth" and "In Action" cover these really well,

You can compress a lot of ruby code a few %age points by mashing the bottoms of the functions into "end;end;end;end;", same with C code that has curly braces on their own lines. So this is similar to benchmarks: if you don't
