Kind of a tangent, but the way you phrased it, while much more technically correct, is totally roundabout and unnatural to a native English speaker. I've often postulated that the necessity of a Subject in English sentences causes us t

To be clear I am not arguing about ADHD. The previous poster expressed skepticism of the DSM-5 as a diagnostic tool. You responded the DSM 5 was developed with hard science, and that it is sufficient for diagnosis. I'm saying criticism

The DSM has been criticized specifically for causing inconsistent and over diagnosis of ADHD and other mental disorders. It should also be noted the DSM is primarily an American text and used far far less internationally. Appealing to the D

Aside from the first question (may first 2 questions), the top questions are arguably more qualitative than quantitative. > Do I solve more problems than I create? Who judges what constitutes a problem? How do you know when you've c

I firmly believe it's important to learn a spoken language before learning the written language, assuming your goal is to become fluent. Learning through translation is also an anti-pattern. Best to learn the basics of the target langu

> Main contenders so far are Haskell, Scala and Clojure (Reason might go on the list soon too) How about plain old OCaml? Jane Street seems to find some success with it.

I have vague memories of watching Asterix on TV as a child in the US. I think it was around for a while, but fell off the map in the 80's at some point. So there's a bit of a generational element at play.

Another route for the U.S. is to try and get a scholarship. If you're a high school student and you test well, a high SAT or ACT score should get you a full ride to a school some where.

I have done this a few times for large parts of a projects. Much more common, however, is overriding styles at the component level, which gets funky with this approach. You either have to add JavaScript logic to assemble the appropriate cla

This is imho the correct approach. All the benefits with none of the coupling. Tailwind might actually be pretty nice if used this way.

This may be true of violent rape, but that is not the only type of rape. As someone who has been coerced into sex against my will, I think this narrow idea of what constitutes rape is harmful.

Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful answers. I'm going to keep hacking away at OCaml, but measure my expectations a little and perhaps start looking into Reason as well. A couple questions wrt Reason: Do you find it easy to switch b

by zumu 8y ago
How do you feel about the progress OCaml since you started using it? What is your general prognosis for the future? Are you by chance getting paid to write OCaml? If so, how hard was it to find opportunities.

Awesome. I've been getting into OCaml lately, and it's great to see new resources. This bodes well for future adoption. For those looking for a slightly more comprehensive source, check out https://dev.realworldocaml.or
