I wish JAX worked with windows natively (without using wsl). I teach a very high level intro to numpy and would _love_ to have my students try jax. These students are relatively ne…

Looks great! I created something similar at http://sqlforever.com/

I'm excited about Deno, but I'm finding that the docs still need to be improved. For example, I'm trying to build a tcp server. I'm not able to get information on how back-pressure…

Sounds interesting, but can’t read it because I’ve apparently exhausted the number of free medium articles can read. Do the authors at least get some sort of micropayments from med…

I really like the idea of being more thoughtful about naming columns and being more explicit about the “type” of data contained in them. Is this idea already known among data model…

Can you describe a bit more about what is going on in the project? The file you linked is over 2.5k lines of c++ code, and that is just the “setup” file. As you say, this is suppos…

Thanks for the reply. I do have that book, but haven’t made my way to the appendix yet :) Your explanation clears things up quite a lot. Thanks and congrats on a useful and cool pr…

I love this. The code is simple and documented. However, whenever I’ve tried to understand autograd, I get stuck at dual numbers. As a programmer, I understand building up a comput…

Here is one, programmer centric, answer: https://falconair.github.io/2015/01/05/financial-exchange.ht...

Those who have experience with array languages, is it fair to say that something like numpy captures most of the benefits of APL/K? If Python allowed a reduce operator “/“, numpy w…

I’ve seen this mentioned before, including a blog post by the fast.ai folks. Any idea where I can get details? If my tabular data set is small, what kind of embedding can I get out…

Can dart be evaluated within the browser? I’ve been looking for a language which can be executed within the browser (without needing a connection to any server). I would like to wr…

This is highly illegal and taken very seriously. Is this speculation on your part or do you know this for a fact (in which case, you should report it).

Unfortunately a very common mixup. Here is Erik Meijer (aka headinthebox), the main guy behind Rx, talking about the difference[1]: Let's keep "FRP" for what it really stands for i…

This is pretty fantastic! I would remove the 3d effect to make it even nicer.

Does it make sense to study GA for use in data science? My linear algebra itself is rusty so I'm not clear if the more general operations of GA make it well suited to studying stat…

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Server - HEADLINE: Default swap space doesn't make sense for servers with HUGE ram - DESCRIPTION: Recently I tried to install ubuntu on a server class machine wher…

One feature which seems to be unique to Fable is that the repl doesn't rely on connecting to a compiler on the server. If I type some F# code, apparently it can be compiled/transpi…

There doesn't seem to be a windows binary.

The user interface to gdb is not very nice, otherwise a utility like RR looks pretty amazing.

This is an awesome build. It has everything I was thinking of building, dual xeon, huge ram, a nice gpu. I may use this as a model for my first desktop in years. I will probably ad…

Can someone provide a quick overview of the current GPU landscape? There seems to be Nvidia's pascal, gtx, titan, etc. Something called geforce. And I believe these are just from N…

Not a digression, one of the reasons for this post was to practice Scala a bit further.

Good idea. I'll justify the text. What's wrong with the font?

Same here. I haven't used eclipse in the past two years because I've been doing non-java work. Before that I used it since the beginning of my career, around 2000. I don't recall h…
