Most innovative service I know: http://www.netspeak.org . It does exactly what the article talks about: offering a word by filling a hole in a sentence or phrase.

The article's premise is that Big Money is rushing into podcasts but without giving details what that is. Maybe this is bad for Overcast and other clients, but it could mean that popular podcasts can make more money. Marco is definitel

Quick anecdote: I always demoed Quest by running it in a loop testing GCC on an Apple laptop and it would always find a compiler bug. No longer, it seems. I've tried it on OS X 10.10.5 today and so far couldn't find a bug in GCC o

I'm the author of Quest - thanks for linking to it. Feel free to ask questions about it. If anyone wants to try it: it's implemented in OCaml and can be installed from OCaml's package manager Opam: "opam install quest&qu

What is a good SML implementation that creates compact binaries that are easy to deploy? (One of OCaml's strength is the compiler that produces native code binaries that don't depend on tons of runtime libraries or other files.)

I wonder, how was the "i" cut in lead with the dot being off-center? Wouldn't this cause the letter to be unusually wide? Or was it cut as some kind of ligature, which I find hard to imagine. Addendum: there is a picture of a

If you adjust the velocity to v-1 it would be an incremental update, which seems natural. But if you update the velocity to d-1 (as stated) I can imagine this could be a jump and even could result in negative velocity for d=0 .

So an influx of $705M is supposed to move a $3T market by 7%? That's 705e6/3e12=.0002 or 0.02%. I still don't buy it.

I feel there is an interesting bit (or example) missing: how does the (OCaml) code look that implements the expressions that are evaluated? The code returns a value and the list of cells it read - how is obtaining this list best organised?

You are right that they will sell more tickets than slots. I'm not sure this works well with a subscription though, as one would feel entitled to a spot. People most likely to use and need a subscription are commuters and those would u

Could you recommend a project to look at? I'm familiar with OCaml but found Ocsigen as a whole impenetrable and would be interested in something more library than framework.

That would mean about $7500 per bike or half as much as a conventional parking garage costs per car. There is no way this can be operated profitably at $10/month/bike or even $20/month/bike as it would take 30+ years to

What are the economics of this? The student rate is about $10/month which seems worth it given that your bike is safe and dry. But how long would it take to recoup just the cost to build something like this? Just for comparison, a conv

Like you say, sort of. This would imply that you wrap all the basic types in a sum type. It's quite heavy. Using the PPX mechanism the compiler can also be extended to generate this code automatically but again, this isn't very n

OCaml modules and Haskell type classes are quite separate, too. I would make more sense to compare OCaml and Haskell modules. Haskell type classes implement ad-hoc polymorphism and OCaml doesn't have that at all. You can't impleme

The OCaml code for the Person module in that post is not not idiomatic. Also, a module is quite different from a class or JS object and it would be more helpful to think about a module implementing an (abstract) data type like in C or other

A lexer for a language with a lot of keywords leads to a large representation as an automaton as the author has experienced. One way to deals with this is to only recognise in one rule all identifiers including keywords (something like &quo

You are suggesting that marketing to people's aestehetic preferences might come with a technical, functional or security compromise. How so? Would you suspect Ford to compromise on safety if it started to make a car in a color that app
