Xamuel, where did your old blog go? The one where you talked about Esperanto as a gateway language to get people over their fear of learning a new language? I try to cite it regularly but it’s offline and Wayback Machine is giving me lip. (

Like all good philosophy, this idea has a long history. I encountered it in Taleb's Black Swan as Pyrrhonian skepticism, which flourished in Greece as the Aristotelian Academy. Very down to earth and actionable advice on living and doi

Just to make sure, is the demo supposed to forward me to https://postgres.demo.envelope.xyz/v1/app/all/index.html ? I feel sheepish for asking for this but a TodoMVC would be really helpful, since I'm not

Professors teaching such courses at the graduate level primarily intend them to benefit students doing active research in the field. There's an extraordinary emphasis on mathematical derivations to show how one idea leads to another. T

FYI: FFTS [1] in many (most?) cases outperforms FFTW, without runtime calibration. It gets there by using a smarter algorithm algorithm. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of more complete libraries—e.g., restricted to power-of-t

I'm in. In a Previous Age, there were “rumors that there would be interest in opening up the language if there would be enough community response around it”—wonder if they amounted to anything [1]. Interest in k is only growing it appe

Your experience with Q is really a satisfying read! Should I abandon my tepid attempts to get into J and throw myself on Q, despite its hefty pricetag for 64-bit version? Would you be able to do as much with Kona instead of Q?

I too am amused by his opinion of JavaScript. A professor was moved enough to translate most of SICP to JavaScript and writes in its first chapter, "Above beyond these considerations, programming in JavaScript is great fun" [1]. I

I'm working through the admittedly beautiful and very thorough documentation [1]. It's a very simple idea, really: you write your document and sprinkle racket s-expressions wherever you want. You can put your definitions at the to

It's a matter of ongoing surprise to see many scientist-engineers in my niche, in the USAF-sphere, who are jumping from Matlab to Julia, leapfrogging Python. Kudos to them.

I don't understand the dichotomy between speed and efficiency. What's speed is the author talking about, and whose efficiency?

Years ago, your post [1] about a fractious, joyous workplace shaped me as I entered the workforce. How's Blue River compared to that? Any fistfights? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=141967

I like this a lot! If I allow myself explanation, I'd say your findings make a lot of sense, but I will instead heed the title of Duncan Watts' latest, "Everything is Obvious*: Until You Know the Answer" :) I wonder how

This seems like a dramatic illustration of cumulative advantage, as studied in the famous MusicLab experiment [1, 2]. The argument is that in cultural and social markets, random effects govern which products or artifacts get the initial few

This is especially tragic because matrix factorization algorithms are so deep and interesting, theory and programming-wise! LU, Cholesky, QR, eigendecomposition, SVD, mmmm. Round-off error tolerance, convergence criteria, stability, yum. Ch
