I see many comments saying that the book implements the C compiler in ocaml. In the introduction the author states that the book actually uses pseudo code so you are actually free …

I read Wolf Hall after I finished Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver, which takes place in late 17 century post Cromwell England. You might enjoy it as well! It’s packed with history.

Haskell Programming from First Principles is probably the best and most exhaustive resource on learning Haskell. I now refer people to “Effective Haskell” by Rebecca Skinner[0]. It…

> Category theory has virtually zero application to software engineering. > Knowing what a monad is (in the programming sense) has some [practical application]as well. You’re contr…

I too think these changes weren’t better. Wouldn’t going back on most of these constitute a “better” twitter?

Those are replacement tips. I broke the head, leaving the shaft inside the pen and thats what I'm not able to get out. It seems to be a common problem if you look at the reviews: h…

I’ve had one for many years and found it to be the perfect device to read and take notes on PDFs: 13” screen, super lightweight, easy to send PDFs to it and from it through the app…

Pluto.jl[1] works like this. It’s a reactive notebook. It’s a really neat project. [1] https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl

Might be obvious but check out Delian Asparouhov, founder of Varda Space Industries. Chris Power, founder of Hadrian. If you look them up in spotify there are many interviews that …

The author’s objective is to teach the category theoretical concepts that get used in FP. This is particularly important in Haskell since it uses some of these concepts (functors, …

Math. I majored in psychology (very little math relative to STEM) and got into programming after graduating. After 5 years of working as an ML engineer (basically a lot of calculus…

It’s an incredibly safe language with a very expressive type system, which is good for handling money. Also, since crypto stuff is relatively new it’s easier to adopt a newer langu…

Ball Lightning by Cixin Liu is about a scientist who decides to dedicate his life to studying ball lightning ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning ) when nobody takes it…

I remember the Functional Programming course you guys taught. Any chance of putting that course in the "Free Course Archives" :)

Do you accept or plan on accepting international students?

Thanks for the reply! I just sent you guys an email. Will take a look at what you did for the Self Driving Car Nanodegree.

I think partnering with MOOCs is a great idea. I've been taking the Deep Learning Foundations Nanodegree from Udacity and thought it would be awesome if we got some sort of discoun…

I see everyone talking about Andrew Ng's ML course and having some difficulty with octave. Why is no one trying the new ML with Python series by UW on Coursera? It seems pretty wel…
