I don't want to be too mean, but it looks like very little has changed since the six months or so when this last popped up on HN. The book still has none of the exercises that the exposition places so much weight on.…
It's more than just strings though, it's all lists on a set of atoms. (a b c) is treated differently from (a (b c)). EDIT: Actually you're right, it's all strings on X. I thought the author wanted all lists on X.
>units of measure are not "tools"...they are ways of communicating information. How you communicate information is important and has real impacts. Given a graph, you could choose to encode it as an adjacency matrix or…
I strongly disagree. Using the right tool for the right job is worth far more than enforcing arbitrary universal consistency. In a math course, you'd measure angles in radians so you're dealing with nice small multiples…
If you haven't seen any category theory, you might be interested to know that the diagrams the author draws are valuable and important in modern pure math as well. Those last two diagrams totally capture the idea of…
