The author is supposedly Cade Metz, so this was the focal point of last year’s NYT hullabaloo about revealing Scott’s identity.

I feel like this will only work if you can read hiragana and katakana already.

How did you get started in Clojure contracting work?

Surprisingly many. A lot of my professors tend to see math as a 'necessarily evil' and only teach enough to be able to do the calculations, and this attitude certainly rubbed off on most of my classmates. In fact, some of them eve

I like how TOML was the first thing that came to your mind and not 'co-founder of GitHub'.

There’s Leo Dorst’s Geometric Algebra for Computer Science but I haven’t really read it in any substantial way. Might be worth checking out still.

I spent around two months being completely enamoured by geometric algebra until I realised it flies in the face of some pretty strong trends of mathematics in the last couple of decades. How come? Well, we’ve been moving towards more and m

Oh wow, I have never seen this sentiment expressed outside weird rationalist circles. This is exactly how things are in my view, plus or minus some systematic biases whose negatives only become huge in great numbers.

Was your undergrad GPA ever a factor in the admissions process?

Well, we're entering the golden age of space exploration right now, so let's see how that gap closes by the next decade or so.

Nitpick, but I think what you meant to say what "HoTT is to ZFC as Python is to Turing machine tape". Hope it helps.

If I want to attend a bootcamp for a couple of months, is the M-1 visa my only option? How difficult is it to get?

Did you do the entire book in Clojure or just this part? Thinking of forking SICP Distilled and was wondering if there's a reason why it stopped other than the author losing interest.

My take on this as someone who's been on atomoxetine for a year is that, no , this won't automagically fix your problems. But it gives you a chance. Me on atomoxetine means I can actually: a) slow down, b) get an intuitive feel o

The assumption here is that you have a structured enough environment that you get tasks delivered on your doorstep regularly. Having no external source of motivation is the death of us.

Wow, I had no idea about the dot operator. And TIL about `gd` (moves to the word's definition) and `gf` (for file imports) as well.

Imagine putting all of science on a common (diagrammatic) footing, implemented down to the level of types so you can immediately perform calculations...mouthwatering.

Huh, you used `clojure.spec` but then used YAML. I get it for the UX reasons, but I would have guessed you'd be generating edn under the hood.
