Plus, since 1 or 2 more won't hurt, you can give F# a try for the ML goodness. This may help a progression towards Haskell - found it much easier to grok once I had a bit more playtime with other functional languages. I personally thin

Well, with Webassembly en route, there is a future where we can use whatever language we like if the can target WebAsm. Currently, there is only support for manual memory management but there are plans to expand with GC. There is certainly

If you go through that one, give Calculus by Spivak a try. Interesting book and starts off with a bit more of the fundamentals. How to solve it by Polya - an awesome book. Read these to learn not just mathematical problem solving but in gen

Projectile is a great tool too. Along with helm and perspective modes, you can switch between projects with a few keystrokes. Since projectile looks for .git by default, you can have a window in each perspective dedicated to git if you so w

With regards to 2, I have experienced this. As a solution, I built a websocket server using NodeJS. I then built an API in express that PHP / Gulp used to push messages to be sent via websocket. There might be a better way but I'd

If solely for templating emails, I would go with handlebars. You could use PHP but then you have a whole host of other stuff that you don't want or need in a templating language.

That's certainly what it can be used for and probably is on a large scale. The most important one that a lot seem to miss is the "did you face any road blocks?", with a culture where the whole team thinks and removes the road

I think process is important. If there isn't some kind of method or process, it isn't really engineering. You can't build modern bridge or building just by going at it. My comment wasn't clear: scrum is sold the majority

To me, a lot of Agile breaks the first rule. A Certified SCRUM Master comes in and overhauls your processes. That is, in effect, processes and tools straight up, from the minute that scrum master goes on a course. It wouldn't be much o

Thank you and the parent. GP's suggestions were pretty much the road I was on but clearly lost my way. Think there's more than enough here for a nice work commute playlist :)

I usually come up as INFP and, more rarely, INTP so I think it may have something to do with the IN part :) I dislike dance clubs but I love trance and Jarre.

Jean Michel Jarre was an early musical love of mine, which says a lot since I'm only 26. I could not believe that, when I first heard it, Oxygene II was recorded in the 70s. With a simple, small multitrack recorder. It honestly is a gr

Interestingly enough, there's also a doctor of a sexual health clinic that also provides online prescriptions for Viagra called Sean Cummings. Somehow delivery of order confirmation emails have never been an issue! Edit: eeek I don&#x2

I think the truth in this point lies in the fact that this was when the British Empire was still around and held large swathes of land with sway over large numbers of people. That plus the German Empire lost large amounts of land after the

I hope it all goes well for your wife today. I know it must be a really anxious time for you both. The above happened to us in the last week so the terror of the prospect is still fresh.

Sorry I'm mistaken. The end of the fiscal year is the 5th of April in the UK. In the US, I think this is different. So this is a more dramatic result considering.

Vaginal bleeding, regular spotting, cramps and fatigue. Above and beyond the irrelugar periods implants cause. It was only by the doctor's mention that we got the implant removed ASAP so we could see if it was that. If not, we could ex

Thank you :) Don't get me wrong, I'm not frightened away from it. I have a GP appointment on Tuesday for a referral. I think it'll be some time on the NHS but no doubt less time than this contraceptive becomes available.

Thanks for the correction :)

Bang on. Me and my partner were planning on me getting a vasectomy in a year, when her implant runs out. We've had to bring that forward a year because one side effect is also a symptom of cancer or polyps. After removal, she experienc

When the majority of Scotland wanted to remain part of the EU, the terms changed. The fact is Scotland, NI and Wales largely wanted to remain whilst England drags the rest along with. They have no choice. That's a pretty big change in

Thank you :) I'm currently reading Calculus by Spivak too. Fantastic book. I find getting a taste and moving forward breadth-first keeps things fresh.

Krantz. Seems to be at a decent pace. No idea if it's any good though - problem of not having a mentor!

I can verify this approach works for me. The other thing I suggest is use "getting stuck" as a way to identify gaps - go look for books that fill those gaps. Recently I cracked open Principle of Analysis by Rudin. I got stuck pret

Perhaps the manner of his last years and eventual death is the reason for that. The man has a statue on a bench in Manchester. It's in the gay village.

That's really cool. What sort of problems do you work on? How did you manage to start working with it professionally?

Not at all. I abused Ruby's metaprogramming capabilities to build a small functional language with operators. I monkey patched symbols with operator overloading to add the typical functional operators such as composition (using * since

Much more fundamental is the idea that suffering itself is an unchangeable fact of life. This, I think, is what makes it so similar to Buddhism. Inact, suffering is a necessary contrast to bliss and one can induce bliss via temporary self
