Can anyone recommend a good primer to learn OCaml? (ideally aimed at so someone familiar with traditions C-style languages) The material I’ve found has been quite dense where I’m just looking to learn enough to be dangerous

The subtext of this would seem to be that - in reality - the narrative is just an unsubstantive marketing device I’m not convinced that’s the case with these companies - I think people really do start businesses to have an positive impact a

Science Publisher Elsevier's reported profit margin is 38%, compared to Apple's 21% – there's lot of cash at stake for them and a big warchest to defend it For anyone looking to understand the background on the science publis

This is really impressive and I can't wait to start using it! I love that it's currently free and I'm curious what the pricing model is – or what the future plan might be – are you thinking about freemium and charging for spe

Take a look at haxe[0] for a compile-to-js ML inspired language. It's relatively mature these days and integrates with existing typescript definitions via dts2hx[1] I talk about this more here: https://news.ycombinator.com&#

I imagine it depends on the zoo I’ve never been to zoos outside the UK, but here often the primary function is conservation - both of the animals, which are often rescues, and of wider wildlife which is funded by ticket sales For example, L

I don’t often like to rant but XD is fascinating to me as an example of trying to work out what went so wrong in building it. Every time I open it (and by force its companion Creative Cloud updater) it does something radical. Last time the

Indeed, if you're putting something up online you probably just want to make it easy for users to switch rather than reuploading Offline personal archives and tools to create them I expect are permissible (IANAL)

My main association with Getty is their 'copyfraud' practises where they claim public domain images (NASA, Library of Congress etc) as their own and sell licenses[0]. They're also well known for aggressive acquisitions[1]. Pe

Lubos Lenco the author behind this is something of a one man army. They also write Armory 3D a game engine that integrates with Blender https://armory3d.org/ Fun fact, ArmorPaint is written in haxe which is still a relative

Yeah, kLabz's haxe-react is the one I've used in the past because kLabz seems to be active keeping it updated and I've been very happy with it (although I think the readme doesn't do it justice) My work at the moment is

The multiple targets is certainly a big appeal, but the biggest for me is it's just a nice language to work in, so I often prefer it over whatever domain's native language I'm working with For example, when I do web frontend

I have a WebAudio implementation for the C++ target (so you can have single API for web and native builds), although it’s planned to be open sourced, it’s currently private but if this sounds useful I’m happy to try to get you a copy before

I've been using both professionally for a number of years, I prefer to use haxe when I can. Strengths of both need to be considered, to give an overview of why I prefer haxe: TypeScript's main strength is its proximity and integr

When you pinch does it jump between zoom levels in large increments or is it smooth? The large jumping was the old behavior – check about:config's browser.gesture.pinch settings are all empty and not mapped to ctrl+ or anything. I have
