Wow! This is some fantastic stuff. To be (slightly) cynical, I wonder how much code reuse one could get out of this _in practice_. At any rate, I think it's a win to be able to do all of this kind of coding within the…
Thanks for writing this up! How'd you pay for this? Did you have to take out a loan? Did the companies have a payment schedule?
Wow. That's crazy expensive. I'm glad to hear about this story. I don't think I'd pay $50k for something like this.
No.
From the Crema wiki that I just glanced at, it is indeed not possible to write infinite loops: "The only type of loop supported by Crema is the foreach loop. This loop is used to sequentially iterate over each element…
This is a fantastic explanation. Thank you for phrasing it so concisely.
Sounds like it could work. With any supervised learning algorithm, the key is to have good labeled data that accurately captures the function you want to learn (i.e. something that exposes errors + their causes and…
They are actually a public company as you can buy stock in them.
Nope.
Do you really believe that it'll ever be on the JVM? Why would Microsoft put any effort into that? CLR is now cross platform. If you want functional programming that is similar in style to F# (and ML-family of…
This is a good critique: it's important to cite the people who have laid the early groundwork, regardless of how far in the past that work was done.
HFT is a tool of oppression. Who can afford it? Who has the time, capital, and personnel to make and deploy HFT algos? And ultimately, who is really benefitting the most from this technological advance?
I hear you. I imagine that Scala poses a lot more problems than other JVM languages. Not knocking you, or anyone else at Parallel Universe.
It's an opinion, but I find that synchronous programming is a lot easier to reason about than asynchronous.
I'd pay money for this if it worked with Scala.
You realize a Monad is a concept, not a language feature. One can implement a Monad in any language.
> On the first, few people effectively negotiate with their employers for salary increases, and a lot of people fail to negotiate at all. Boo-fucking-hoo. Grow the fuck up. If one cannot learn how to effectively…
That's what it means to be salaried vs. hourly. You get the job done and don't mess around.
Does it make sense that doctors have to charge 10x just to even-out the insurance companies only paying 1/10 the price? Nope. You should direct your anger at for-profit medical insurance companies, which make billions…
> How long until doctors find themselves in a similar position? Medical bills are, after all, the number one cause of bankruptcy in the US, and US doctors are the highest paid on Earth. Blame medical insurance…
There's certainly limits. Compilation-time type safety can only guarantee the absence of certain errors or presence of certain behaviours. Any question that can be reduced to the halting problem is something that cannot…
Definitely. It's because, fundamentally, Ballmer was not a technology person. He simply didn't get it.
Are you serious? You are incapable of reading and understanding an 8 page document? Or learning general strategies of where to find summary information (hint: the beginning and end of every paper). There's a lot of…
Awesome work! Thank you for sharing.
Except juice, which has the equivalent amount of harmful sugar. It's more because Bloomberg is a typical dickhead politician who makes policy only to further his own power.
