Right, good point. I just find the structure and the mindset to be similar.

In their definition of programming languages types, I'm not sure I see how SQL which they cateogrize as declarative really differs from FP, especially with lazy evaluation. Both are a succession of functions applied onto a previously d

Yes Excel lately is turning into a really compelling product, using functions such as sequence (dynamic arrays), lambda (pure functions) and let (defining sub-variables). You'd think you're coding in a pure functional language, an

Interesting. I heard many good things about Pycharm, but it kind of looks bloated? How does it compare to VS Code (which is quite good (notebook and repl support mostly), but not great, in particular regarding the debugging experience)?

What I wish more newspaper did is to allow one to pay for a single article (whose price could depend on the length/depth of the article).

Recently stumbled upon this quite good YT channel, which also brands itself as aimed towards beginners, although in my opinion both the Susskind lectures and these 'physics mini lessons' would be best appreciated with at least som

Well you can manage to run the Wolfram Engine through a jupyter kernel directly in VS Code. Although, I believe when I set it up the output was an image, no matter the object being returned (for instance 2+3 would return an image of 5 black

Totally unrelated since I can't access the website, but one thing that I'd like to see in a typing system used in data analysis is to be able to see the dimension of the data structures used. For instance, to be able to tell at co

Kinda did, but mostly the first chapters, actually up to CNN chapter (where real modern DL start). But so far, I really liked what I read. It has a very good blend of code and theory, with hands on applications throughout the whole book. Mo

Python is like democracy. It's the worst programming languages except for all the others.

LaTeX is still one of my favourite piece of technology of all time. It is at time so alien, yet beautiful. I now get closer to 10+ years of programming experience, yet nothing comes close to debugging a faulty LaTeX custom command... it can

Erik Meijer a very engaging person! If I recall correctly, he spearheaded the Linq project for C# back in mid-2000s. In particular, I suggest his Haskell lectures to anyone interesting by theoretical aspects of functional programming. http

Interesting. Out of curiosity, why then did you chose France over any other EU country to have your company?

HN will likely rejoice. Macron is putting a lot of faith in startups to jumpstart back the french economy. I think it's wise: France has great schools to train great engineers, but there's still this stigma that it's almost i

Polls close at 7pm except in larger cities, but counting of votes start at this time. It's forbidden to leak the results until 8pm, at which time the sample is large enough to give a precise estimate, unlikely to move by much.

For those on MacOS, I suggest this port of emacs : https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/ It's basically the same as the distribution from http://emacsformacosx.com , but it supports various enh

Also consider Foundations of Machine Learning (2012) by Meryar Mohri. It is a very good book with a statistical learning approach to ML. If you're interested by statistical guarantees to ML algorithms, eg. why the SVM algorithm works a

Actually, there's a slight difference between the two pronunciations, at least for the North American English pronunciation. When you say cock, there's an emphasis on the o (it lasts longer) while with coq, the o is slightly mutte

Absolutely agree. Haven't read the english translation, but the original version was one of my favourite read last year. It is a short book (about 150pages I believe) and very skillfully written. It is very clinical, but in the same wa

Just saying, but if you want to hop onto the ML bandwagon (for instance), then don't bother going over linear algebra or probabilities first, and instead just learn what you need as you go. For example, the first sections of this book

Using concentration inequalities on Lipschitz convex learning algorithms to derive generalizing bounds. The seminal papers for this would be Stability and Generalization by Bousquet and Elisseef (2002), or those by Shalev Schwartz.

That's nice to hear! I'm doing my masters thesis on statistical learning and I often think how un-glamour this field now is. No bayesianism, less engineering, but having probabilistic guarantees on your out of sample results as we

I'm currently enrolled in a MSc program with a thesis on portfolio optimization using statistical learning. It might even lead to a publication! But now, the question is, should I go onto a PhD in stats or CS or just settle with it. I
