It is the acknowledgement of the receipt of the last message that is important. Wikipedia is not entirely clear on this one. The source of the problem are higher-order statements: "A knows that B knows that A knows ...". Suppose A

As the article "Tidy Evaluation"[1] says "R makes it easy to create DSLs thanks to three features of the language: * R code is first-class. That is, R code can be manipulated like any other object (see sym(), lang() and node(

Terence Tao's 'What's New'[1] and Mathoverflow[2]. Books and papers in mathematics don't tell you much about the penumbra of stories, hopes and plans around the formal work, particularly at the higher levels. These

As an Indian working in India, the 'in Bengaluru' part actually makes me a bit sad. While Shah may have physically been in India when he was working on Julia, the project might not have happened without his having gone to the US f

I on the contrary find it perfectly reasonable. Academic publishing has its own share of bullshit and I can well understand someone, specially a retired person, wanting to give up on that kind of prestige in order to save time and energy fo

I think that the article is unfair to statisticians in saying that they ignore descriptive statistics. The problem is that one cannot choose systematically between different descriptive statistics without clearly specifying our objectives a

Definitely. But there aren't any problems and problem-solving is essential to learning physics so you need to have other textbooks at hand as well.

The problem with making effects explicit is that effects pollute: a callee doing IO means that all is callers also acquire the IO effect. Which is as it should be, except that this makes code modifications tedious if effects have to be expl

R's unusual calling convention makes it very easy to write little DSLs and access program text at runtime. This I think makes for much more expressive APIs like base R's formulas or dplyr's data manipulation facilities. In al

I would say that the words 'science' and 'bible' do not go well together. The books mentioned in the answers are all worth looking at, but they take you only up to the foothills of the discipline and are no substitute fo

My sense is that this is mostly a gimmick as far as curbing the illegal economy is concerned. (1) Illegal cash is a fraction of illegal income which is a fraction of illegal wealth. Destroying a further fraction of that cash will not be a h

Definitely, and I'm sure many do. And it is often very surprising how far ahead the older authors had thought. But while such reading is fun as a leisure activity, doing it seriously requires full-time dedication as a historian of thou

Quite possibly, just as one can be a productive physicist without reading, say, Einstein, in the original.

Since you are already in a quantitative field I think it would be good to quickly get to the heart of what economists actually do. I would suggest Varian, 'Intermediate Microeconomics' Luenberger, 'Investment Science' Wo
