Gotcha...I would assume to leave it in for use in interactive data analysis, but if you REALLY want to keep things small...

IT should exist to help the domain users, but after a point they get too big and start to dictate what gets used even if nobody wants it. Like choosing the data analytics technology for the data analytics team when it is what they don'

Yea it's actually the most readable in the family to those who haven't put the effort into learning the array paradigm. Dyalog APL & J are the two other main languages in the family that have the largest user bases. Both are p

Very difficult with large IT departments to get something unusual like this since you need hardware, a way to transfer data from your main database into an SSD to really take advantage of kdb+. Doing that would step on the toes of several d

Any news on kOS? I'd love to build a barebones high performance computer with K running on bare metal.

I wish there was a way to use this at my company without the monstrous price tag. I also wish kdb+ came with much better dashboard support kinda like Tableau...I want to retrieve and mold my data quickly with kdb+'s query language and

Thanks...weak sounds a lot more plausible than fully binding.

This is Sapir-Whorf thinking. My understanding as a non-linguist is that this has never been proven. I know there is a strong/weak form of the hypothesis, but can't remember what the distinction is.

I'll be that guy that brings up Esperanto. I don't speak it fluently yet, but know it faaar better than Spanish which I have years of formal instruction in and have been exposed to a lot of Latin American culture. The important po

I'm right below the cusp where I think it will be more efficient to learn Latex.

Sadly that's my assumption too.

I would normally agree with you, but that seems subjective.

Where did Red Bull exist in 92'? Dang...wikipedia says it came out in 87'. I can't recall energy drinks before ~2003.

Mad respect for you Dom, but why would going from Nim -> JS be Transpiling and Nim-> C++ be compiling? Both go from a high level Lang to another high level Lang.

by throwaway7645 9y ago
This comes up everytime i post about this and most people agree with me that transpile means convert to a different source language. It is definitely a common use, but I realize it is a gray area. Edit: Compiling def isn't wrong, but T

So searching an image is definitely nice, but it's a tradeoff in my opinion as it takes much longer to write out an equation in equation editor (I'm very proficient btw) or the other mathematical CAD tools I use when compared to a

Nim transpiles to C, C++, or JavaScript so it can run on nearly anything (Windows, Linux, MacOS, embedded to some degree, web browser...etc). Cobra appears to be .NET, so a little more restricted I guess.

You'd rather have plain text than hand-written diagrams? I think most of the difficulty is in not knowing APL like notation.

by throwaway7645 9y ago
Slower than typing, yes. However, I'll take APL by hand over Python which is commonly viewed as terse if I could think in APL as well as the author.

I submitted this recently and added some links to the author's previous posts if it helps anyone. Seriously cool: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16455455 I like how this posts shows the strength of APL like notat

Is there any chance Google might put more effort into this in the future? Scheme in the browser would be awesome. I'm guessing it is just a Google employee's pet project?

by throwaway7645 9y ago
Ah, understood. I hope I didn't sound offended, just confused until I read your reply. I agree that it is similar to Google in that they seem to hedge their bets too much (like how Google has two OS, two languages...etc etc). I would r

Windows Phone is discontinued, but sure as heck wasn't experimental. I've used it flawlessly since about 2011 with rock-solid stability and battery life.

I was thoroughly impressed as well. It would take me years to read all his stuff. Klong us actually written in his other language. That is impressive.

Not sure y I was downvoted here. I've used both products in this problem area. Mathematica is definitely more than a CAS. Both are great in their own ways.

If you have Mathematica, you might not need R as both are like Swiss Army Chainsaws for Data Analytics.
