Research Mathematician. I'm going to try anyway but I doubt I'll even make it to grad school and the career prospects for an average mathematician to do research near full time are dim.

I was just trying to tease out what you need to know so that Idris fits in half a page. I'd actually like to know those things!

Thanks. I was trying to show it started off unproductive and went into a constructive chat about Haskell type and value level functions, but this was also a lazy test of if people are interested in the conversational format. I think the res

I like your points, but I'm not sure of the Idris on half a page. How much tacit knowledge does that rely on? We do need to focus on the fundamentals of education, the spectrum of logics with quantifiers, lambda calculus, and natural d

Cool, but I find that hard to read. I'm going to do a custom stylesheet, I was just waiting to see if there was any interest in the conversational format form my Slack conversations. Really appreciate your effort.

I meant it turns into a constructive discussion of Haskell, I should have made that clearer. Thanks!

I would love some constructive feedback on how to do better, thanks.

I'd love if you can point out the incorrect points, but I understand that's not your responsibility. Thanks for the feedback!

Having taken Algorithms at both undergrad and graduate levels and read through many books to prep Google/Facebook/etc interviews, I would flip out if anyone ever makes take an Algorithms class again.

Interesting. Certainly something to consider. I never thought about being a non-degree seeking student.

I hope it is not stupid. I won't fit inside the university system at this point. They would make me take courses on subjects I already know which is a waste. I have about 20 hours on the weekend I can use towards accomplishing a class

This approach is what took my math skills to the next level. I would also frequently skip exercises and forget material that I learned previously. Since I started adding exercise books to my study routine I have seen enormous gains in knowl

Yes, please stop trying to make Scala Haskell. And please start switching to Haskell :)

Ok, but since I invested time to learn it and can now use it, I can save time every time I do. Perhaps I will pay down my debt eventually, perhaps not. It's a sunk cost and I enjoyed learning about it, so I'm pretty happy.

But if you look at Haskell's Control.Monad you see why the abstraction is helpful [0]. We get things like foldM, it's similar to how you can fold across more than just lists, you can fold across trees and so on, but for all these

If TypeScript had these features would it not be as hard to get up to speed with as PureScript? Thus why not just get up to speed with PureScript. I believe in you and your team :)

are there people who excel at software design? they need to write books and papers to explain how they do it because it's still the wild west out here.

Actually the abstractions they are talking about are explicitly for most of your use cases: - Transforming data from one structure to another. - Moving data around. - Writing and re-writing similar business rules and domain logic in differe

That's how economic reality should be treated. Our own reality is primary. We will take back our lives. What Jacobin is working towards is admirable. We believe in progress, that a better way is possible, and that the current state of

True, I do know people who work at Uber who I have worked with before. Just kidding but I would like to show that worker owned business can be more efficient because of locality of information transfer and decision making. It's not my

You didn't consider the article's arguments in depth and applied your standard template response to these issues.

Read the article more carefully, "they might be willing to switch to a co-op model that offers a cheaper price and solid service". A co-op can have lower prices and pay it's members more because they don't have to funnel
