For someone with an ancient undergrad math background and only "interested observer" level of machine learning knowledge, would it be better to do this course before tackling the deep learning one?

I disagree that most native English speakers would be able to give you a reasonable definition of 'transduce', let alone 'educe'. I love Clojure, but I find the naming cult a bit absurd from time to time. I suspect that

Absolutely, I know plenty of native speakers who wouldn't be able to write anything as correct as that without serious effort, if at all.

Smalltalk environments have used this as a fancy docsearch for ages now, I believe - Pharo has one. It's actually pretty nice for beginners to help them learn a standard library. It's unfortunate that the search space is probably

There's a great restaurant chain called "Dans le noir" - I went in Barcelona, but there are several. You dine in total darkness, and all the waiters are blind. They don't tell you what you're eating or drinking. It

I agree - I write lisp for probably 50% of my time, and I have to juggle comparisons in my head every single time. For some reason it's much harder than arithmetic functions.

Can you recommend a text on critical reasoning? It's something I often feel I'm quite bad at.

Do you know of any template based macro systems which are more powerful than syntax-rules, but without going to the other extreme of full turing completeness? As I understand it, syntax-rules doesn't even let you concatenate strings to

Do Fastmail themselves let you use jmap to connect now? They didn't a while back but I haven't checked recently.

I used to use Mailgun for sending out licences for my product. I got a lot of people saying they had never arrived, especially Microsoft addresses and Chinese ones. This continued despite repeated complaints and IP switches. I switched to s

Several things in this article resonated with me. One of the great things about our industry is that most of us do have a choice, as long as you're willing to leave some money on the table. Advertising, finance or commerce will alway

Using synchronised and j.u.c aren't mutually incompatible. It's quite easy to use synchronised to conservatively control access to the state of a single object, and often that's all you need. It can affect performance dependi

The main point that I took away from the book is the phrase that country-scale generation using wind and solar requires country-sized installations. While it's great that the cost of solar is falling rapidly, there's still a theor

Hint: if your Java concurrency solution doesn't involve java.util.concurrent-you're doing it wrong. Of course pretty much everyone's concurrency solutions do involve j.u.c since Java 5 . They are truly powerful language

You're undoubtedly correct that this project gets more attention because of Terry. But I find it difficult to believe that anyone would not find it a pretty extraordinary project.

That's not a stupid question at all, and yes they can. Cursive works using static analysis rather than runtime introspection, so I need to teach it how macro forms work. This uses an extension API internally which will eventually be op

I develop Cursive, an IDE for Clojure code. I handle this for Java interop in a couple of ways. Cursive does type inference (or propagation, really) in the editor, so if you have enough type hints it knows what the type of a symbol is. This

Political scandal? Admittedly I don't consume a lot of media, but a quick search of the Herald shows a couple of articles when they broke the story, and then more or less tumbleweeds. Does anyone actually care apart from us tech geeks?
