Complementary question: any advice for finding a non-technical co-founder?

Ah, thank you. We had theory classes with automata and reductions and complexity proofs, and then algorithms classes that covered some solving techniques. I think I mixed up Formal Methods with Theory.

Should 'formal methods courses' go with 'proving NP-completeness' and 'algo courses' go with 'using SAT solvers?'

is the first use of former/latter consistent with the second?

Back in the day, uniform random variates weren't that hard to come by, but if you wanted to simulate some normals, unless you wanted to do double table lookup plus maybe some interpolation, those tables were as convenient as it got.

Could someone who understands the similar blurring of lines between client and server in the F# world, through Fable or more broadly in Blazor/Bolero, comment on how this approach compares?

I'd like to make calls to Maxima with s-expressions and get s-expressions back. Is there a way to embed Maxima, say by having its Common Lisp host running on top of, say, a Clojure environment (really anything JVM or JS or Python or

So what are some present day choices for a language that can serve this people differentiator role? And yet is practical? How about F#?

Spectacular. Stats PhD here, I've needed this for years for practical projects in different data science roles. I'd love to talk to you about adding statistics/forecasting capabilities, maybe by exposing some existing libra

Interesting, is your argument that we're comparing 1a vs 2, in which case the units are compatible, as opposed to the typical wrong/misleading comparison of 1b vs 2? 1a. $4 trillion/year as rate of loss, a flow 1b. $4 trillio

The correct behavior for a compiler: whenever an expression contains operators that could be interpreted ambiguously, administer mild electric shocks until the programmer responsible puts in enough parentheses.

Hence Russian has a concise word for elephant, slon , and a three-syllable word for hen, kuritza .

Curious how logic programming fits in with the rest of that list?

I'd love to find such a clear and comprehensive list covering errors in my own area, probability - here errors usually blur the line between math and interpretation, and plenty of undergraduate errors persist among those of us old enou

It's surprising to me that there isn't a good way to call Maxima from either Python/R/Julia or even a non-CL lisp. Since Maxima runs on top of Common Lisp, could it run on a JVM-based Common Lisp, and exchange objects wi

Could you clarify what convention you use for the stock value, given vesting? E.g. if you have a base salary of 100k and a 100k stock grant, vesting over 4 years, do you count that as 100+100 total comp (upper bound)? Or would you count
