Adding to that, I believe that Modern Hebrew has lots of loan words from Russian and probably quite a few from English.

Is JSX from ReasonReact usable directly in OCaml/BuckleScript?

I also really like PureScript, but the output from PureScript seems to be a lot larger than OCaml/BuckleScript and have worse performance. OCaml/BuckleScript has a really small stdlib that is lacking common functions, does not sup

I think the things you mention are actually great ideas. Outsiders may have very different perspectives. Their experience and advice may be helpful or they may miss lots of details and offer completely useless, naive advice. But maybe learn

I've heard something similar for Baby Boomers and motor vehicles. They grew up along side the development of cars and had to learn the basics of how a car works whereas later generations grew up with more complicated cars.

Written text in SMS and twitter tends to a lot closer to the way people speak, whereas newspapers are a lot more "polished". So there is definitely a bias depending on what you train your algorithm on. Also, topics and vocabulary

An official set of words is only useful if your NLP task is restricted to items that themselves are restricted in their language use. Twitter and SMS data sets are interesting because they represent something closer to casual speech rather

Genuinely curious, have there ever been issues of people abusing this? It could possibly be an issue if someone wants to use that information to harass/follow/stalk someone.

You're right, I should amend this statement: > Type checking (safety) is only one subcategory of proofs Type checking as provided by Rust, Haskell, etc. only covers a subset of possible proofs. Liquid Haskell goes further to increas

I do not think that "provable" is the correct term to for the rust compiler. Type checking (safety) is only one subcategory of proofs. You can still have unproven behavior that will break the program at runtime that will not be pr

Interesting. Attoparsec is usually my preferred parsing library, but regex-applicative looks very useful for smaller, less complicated parsers.

Is there any advantage to using regex over a parser combinator?

To grasp semantics of human language I would think that AI would have to an understanding of the world from a human experience. So we would need to simulate human experience for an AI. Anyone know of any work on this?

Software Freedom Law Centers claims that the FDA requirements for medical devices put most of the responsibility of quality assurance on the manufacturer. It does not seem like the FDA provides much of an assurance of quality. Note: this is

Searching by type signature is very useful. I think searching by example input and output pairs would be a great addition to Haskell as well, especially for beginners and the base libraries. A technique I use for poorly documented libraries

Right, it is not correct to say that Nuxalk has no vowels, but it does have many words with fricatives as syllable nuclei.

A lot of Afro-Asiatic languages like Arabic and Semitic also have the "write no vowels" pattern. That being said, there are other Afro-Asiatic languages like Berber that have those long consonant strings. I am not too familiar wit
