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 ar…

Oh wow that's really impressive. Thanks a lot !

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 thi…

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 sup…

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 guarant…
