I was just wondering if there was something like Rcpp but for Python, looks like this is it. Thanks for sharing

That's really cool to see that you built a BOM system in Clojure. I worked with BOM data for electronics a lot in my last job and while I was mostly confined to using SQL to do it (recursive CTEs ugh), I often thought about how much ea

A good answer is, "well yeah, I suppose they probably do have them, but that doesn't mean we should just give up."

It's because it causes an uncomfortable degree of cognitive dissonance to imagine that animals have self-awareness and rich inner lives, and also justify killing and eating them. I'm not a vegan, I eat a lot of meat--I just feel u

What platform/OS? Are you installing from a package manager, from binary, or from source?

F# doesn't support any of those features you listed. If you want ad-hoc polymorphism there are a few hacks available: https://withouttheloop.com/articles/2014-10-21-fsharp-adhoc-...

Sounds like your manager doesn't need an Angular expert. Try asking your manager what they would want you to learn for the job. It doesn't mean you should go force yourself to learn that thing if you're not interested in it,

It also is a completely tone-deaf and robotic way to get to know someone. It sounds like "I'm busy and taking the time to get to know you is inefficient, so just upload all information about yourself directly into my brain so that

A potential problem with this business model is that small-medium enterprises who lack logistics departments (target market for the product) tend to buy their goods Delivered Duty Paid, which means the seller arranges the transportation. If

It's correct in the general case. A solver algorithm can find a globally optimum solution for some nonlinear functions, but it cannot be guaranteed to find a globally optimum solution for arbitrary nonlinear functions. That would be li

If your goal is to lose fat and build or maintain muscle at the same time, you really need two things: 1. A workout regimen that includes strength training 2-3 times a week and ideally also some form of moderate aerobic exercise (lots of wa

In container shipping, demurrage charges also apply to the individual containers. If a container misses a sailing and sits on the dock too long waiting for the next one, it starts to rack up charges on the order of $100 or $150 a day.

There are nonlinear solvers available but they are slower and not guaranteed to converge on a globally optimal solution.

In manufacturing terms it is a way of encouraging the use of inventory to buffer against demand volatility and reduce the probability of shortage events.

Most businesses would have no clue what to do with an expert statistician, though. An analyst with a balanced combination of programming and stats skills and business domain knowledge will always, always be able to find work, regardless of

I also get window rendering issues in FF on Windows 10 after waking my laptop from sleep. The browser can still be used but the frame goes totally white. Very weird.

I once got an XML file from an integration partner where the whole thing was XML escaped (all the tags looked like <node>value</node>) because they had embedded it within an outer "envelope" XML fi

the idea of having a language with a dual textual/graphical representation. This is what I think we really need. A general-purpose programming language with first-class dual mode (visual and textual) editing. A Lisp/Scheme-like

by kyllo 10y ago
But you said yourself that the s-exp storage format for your language is neither easy nor safe to modify, so how is it better than XML? Anecdotally, I've also used webMethods, SSIS, and several other visual dataflow programming languag

That's exactly how you store a tree in a relational database. Every row has a parent_id column. This language isn't just a tree though, it's a graph, so you would need a row per edge instead of a row per node. It would work w

Programs are stored as S-expressions, are not particularly easy to read or safe to modify. What you've built sounds very interesting, but this part is a problem you may need to solve before programmers will embrace it. If I can'

One worthwhile thing that might come from a language like this being more lispy is that it should be fairly easy to just use textual s-expressions as the storage format. Most of these visual programming tools have long been using XML as a

by kyllo 10y ago
Programming by using a GUI to generate an XML file was a 1990s trend that still hasn't died. The thinking was "we need to make a visual programming tool for non-programmers," which is sort of condescending to begin with, and

Well the fact that the "n+1 query problem" is a fatal mistake ORMs force you to worry about, whereas you never had to worry about it with plain SQL, is pretty damning in and of itself.

I used to work at a major container carrier and they actually had a pretty good handle on their operating costs (it's not hard when you only sell one thing), their problem was insane capital expenditures. When China joined the WTO in 2

I've seen companies in B2B contracts ask for 90 day or even 120 day payment terms. It's just part of the negotiation.
