I was thrilled to see that SICMUtils, FDG and friends are there as one of the examples! This looks awesome, and thanks for taking a look at those projects :)

Adding one random bit increases the entropy by a bit because there are now two possible messages - your message with a 0 or with a 1. Add a bunch of noise and you add a bunch of bits; entropy is average bits per message.

Or give the exercises a try in the browser, using the Clojure(script) port! It’s a lovely book. https://nextjournal.com/dashboard/sicm

Hey, I have... I'm a co-author of Algebird[0], which has many ideas that I'd pull over. I'm hoping to introduce Clojure's "spec" or "schema" libraries so that the types at play can at least be inspect

SICMUtils co-author here, if anyone has any questions on the Clojure port. One beautiful thing about a Clojure computer algebra system is that it can run completely in the browser. This includes automatic differentiation, numerical integrat

A couple years into fatherhood and I see puns everywhere, and suspect others of dropping them too. Particularly Rich... Hickey?

This sounds like Brent’s method for root finding! Also very similar is his method for Unitarians minimization. I ported this into Clojure recently from Python / FORTRAN... not quite literate programming but well documented if you want

If anyone wants to play with these ideas in Clojure(script), take a look at the SICMUtils project: https://github.com/littleredcomputer/sicmutils I picked up co-maintenance on this project a few months ago; it's

If anyone from Stripe is reading - is it possible yet for me to simply donate money to the portfolio you’ve assembled without running a business? We purchase monthly offsets now and I’d love to switch to funding direct carbon capture (and w

I’m guessing this means half its size along one dimension - if I have a square of side length 2, I can break it into 4 unit squares (or 2 rectangles as you said).

Amazing. I’m actually building this exact thing now at https://GitHub.com/sritchie/sicm for that book, and working on a port of https://github.com/littleredcomputer/sicmutils to Clojurescript to p

I can report that this is not true in this case - Brian wrote his book over the summer and, I think, wanted to get it out for the Unix 50 event at Bell Labs this past week.

One way is wind loading... snow falling in a storm gets blown around and piles up on a slope that's already loaded. Another type - a wet slab avalanche - triggers when the sun melts snow and causes water to flow between the various lay

I'm the guilty party, though not of the "Ruby engineer" title... these days I'm a Python developer that identifies as a Scala developer :) I botched the copy pasta of the embedded code snippet container. All fixed up!

Have you read Sam Harris's post on the dialogue? With Chomsky's permission he posted both sides, and Chomsky does come across as overly rabid: http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-limits-of-discourse
