There might be trouble with depth perception there. When I watch baseball, I can't easily tell at what point the ball crosses the plate in the behind-the-mound view. When a pitcher throws a breaking ball, I usually have to look at the

Sure, it might sound crazy, but I've met plenty of programmers who were proud of using tools that make them do lots of extra work. It is a skill, even if it's not the most cost-effective way to get a working product.

Are dyads only done by putting the other operand in the string of J code? Or is there a nice way to apply a dyad to two Ruby arrays? (I wasn't sure from the Readme if this is already there or your second point in "future direction

Would be akin to using a band saw to make an intricately carved figurine. Sure, it is doable, but probably more effort than it is worth for a person. "Right" tools for the right job and all of that. After that, I can't resi

5) It looks you could easily implement APL as a DSL within an existing language with an extensible parser. Racket, for instance. I'm working on something along these lines, but not planning on keeping the APL/J-like syntax (the

the article didn't really discuss WHY they are doing it, other than as some sort of “collective fare strike,” and the system should be free. But if it is free, then who will pay for it? From the article, "The transit system shou

J is a rather odd choice for teaching functional programming. It distinguishes "nouns" (first-order data), "verbs" (first-order functions), and "adverbs"/"conjunctions" (essentially second-order

I always wonder if all the orchestra was given a click and a copy of the modified video, if the conductor could just sit down and eat a sandwich. Got to try a rehearsal like this with my high school band (Sorcerer's Apprentice, IIRC)

When you travel abroad, does it trouble you that it's not your plane? Actually, it is quite a hassle to have to operate on the airline's schedule rather than on my own, not to mention having to make travel arrangements weeks in

We once did a transposed Steffen on a high school marching band trip. Crew said they'd never seen a plane fill that quickly. Unfortunately, this is harder to coordinate when the passengers aren't all members of an organization tha

Depending where you live in the US, $40k for living expenses would be normal for a family of 4. Does this still hold if we restrict ourselves to the subset of the US where an engineer is likely to get paid $120k per year?

I'd agree with you if my primary desire were to improve my ability as a programmer. Unfortunately, at least at this time, it's not. My major concern is getting meaningful work done. FWIW, code I don't have to think about te

Once you guarantee that the function takes the specific form, you can manipulate it in ways you can't manipulate the general-case function, and it turns out those manipulations give you enough power to define almost anything else you&

I'm told DFS tends to produce easier mazes in the sense that after you've made a bit of progress, false paths typically end more and more quickly.

That's like asking a marathon runner why he doesn't just hop in a car. Most C++ coders I've talked to (including all of the ones who get paid for doing it) are using C++ to get useful stuff built, not for the sake of 1337ne

You also need a very, very good antenna for that sort of stunt. For 10mW, sure, but I've done Michigan to France on 5W with a plain old 40m loop 15-20 feet off the ground. In hindsight, I should have tried it on 3W if only to get 100

Of course parsing is something thats very important if you are making your own DSL. And this is another application where Haskell really shines. This is why the guys who do programming language research produce papers with code in Haskell.

The claimed harm is probably that viewers will be inclined to take it as fact (and then public opinion, voting habits, etc. form according to that distortion).

Well, if you're not setting out to read something clearly stupid into the author's intent, you might conclude that he's questioning whether equity in some early-stage startup is really worth anywhere near as much as what thos
