This is goosebump material! It is fascinating how concepts from classical mechanics port over into quantum mechanics. If we'd stuck with F=ma, perhaps we may not have gone far. However, the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian approaches are swe

Elm's extensible records are more powerful than even what Evan is willing to encourage. You can use them to implement type classes as well as first class modules, albeit with a bit of extra typing (ahem). They even permit you to have m

Shameless plug - CSPJS - a sweetjs macro that supports a similar async mechanism and (imho) better error handling facilities. https://github.com/srikumarks/cspjs Have been using it in a production system for a year now

It depends on python-pygments for syntax highlighting, though you can configure it to use front-end based highlighters like highlight.js.

Just migrated my blog to Hugo. I host my blog on s3 directly, so the most time consuming step in the chain is uploading to S3. Stout and surge are nice pointers (thanks). I'm currently using a simple script that pulls together fossil,

While that's true, it's beside the point. In this case, it's all about finding and formulating the problem. The solution is the easier bit. Consider this - how many of us have crossed off "m" on both sides of m d^r&

When we chose MongoDB for a project, a dominant criterion was out of the box geo queries. It helped that the storage and query approach had good impedance match with NodeJS. From a query perspective, we wouldn't have benefited much fro

I didn't state my point clearly. My point was not that GPUs give some new capability to HLLs, but that GLSL itself is higher level for a restricted domain than what is afforded by a general purpose processor ... and, owing to their spe

That line of reasoning would take the shape of a "no true scotsman". As long as we're talking about alternative hardware architectures that can enable computation speeds otherwise not possible, we ought to include parallel co

Aren't GPUs a good enough example of hardware that can be programmed to do things way faster than what is possible with CPUs of the same era? Also what about FPGAs? If compiling a specific program down to an FPGA is possible, what kind

Not sure yet. I'm exploring. It is a compile-to-js language and not just a framework though. So far, the static typing has been addictive. The time travel debugger is also intriguing. So far, I don't see any particular reason to n

Elm [1] is also worth looking into. I've been using it of late and having fun with it, despite some quirks. It's quite performant in practice too. Though I haven't done comparisons myself, Elm benchmarks claim it to be the fa
