I think they named it like that because it's 1k lines of code.

Why didn't they specify beforehand theor language choice? The negociation about Jython you describe should have taken place before the work started

I think you missed the sarcasm in your parent comment.

Depending on what dirt was dug this could be called defamation which is illegal.

The canonical example of macro that is useful "in the wild" is embedding SQL in your code. See for example http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/practical-an-mp3-database.ht...

(Disclosure: I am just an occasional LISP dabbler)

I like the concept of Hy, but has anyone used it for something "serious"?

I suppose one could make a Firefox/Chrome addon for that.

There are many places like you described, they are just not in the US.

I found this one by Terence Tao, though I haven't checked it yet: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~tao/resource/general/115a.3.02f/

Tao is a top mathematician who is well known for his ability to make complex topics seem simple (see his blog https://terrytao.wordpress.com) so his class is probably worth checking if you are interested in linear algebra.

A person could get in a pipe of 700mm diameter? I seriously doubt it.

Do you have your mobile IDE available somewhere? I am looking for a way to code from my cellphone and I can't user Termux without a code keyboard (to get ctrl, tab, etc.) which takes most of the screen space on my phone.

What are the advantages of Chrome over Firefox?

What you just described is called reinforcement learning.

Probably the Python 3 code was rushed and/or written by an inexperienced programmer. That would just be a coincidence, nothing to do with Python 2 or 3.

I think tigershark is referring to this nice comment you made a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18644724

Right now as I am interviewing instead of working overtime for free.

That sounds really interesting, could you expand on your work/research?

> But in Python you're limited to working on the context of a single module. If you modify a module that was imported then you have to restart the REPL because you can't reload modules. It just doesn't work.

This is so frustrating, the Python REPL does some kind of module caching, and I haven't found how to disable it. When I asked on IRC a few years ago, I was told that I was using the REPL for the wrong purpose.

Linux user here. I had to use MacOS at work, I felt like it was a penance more than anything else. However Apple hardware is quite good.

I know those two that explain deep learning from scratch:

The same options as someone wanting to read Hacker News without knowing English.

Not really a feedback, but I wrote something very similar a bit more than two years ago: http://eskatrem.github.io/Newton-Raphson.html

Hi,

Completely off topic, but I am looking for a job in Japan - I will be moving there tomorrow actually for family reason. Could I have your details (or could you send me an email - my email is in my HN profile.) I am a senior data scientist. Thanks in advance

Would they need to make a return directly? If they could buy it and put significant resources on it, they'll have a direct competitor against Google, with the advantages of coming by default on Apple devices and of being privacy friendly. Just that might scare Google to pay them more to leave the Search space and put back Google as their default search engine.

Your username is well suited to comment this article.

Are you a manager now?

I think everybody understood that "viola" was a typo.

> If your excel files have anything for forward planning and you want to share those files, I'd be interested.

Unfortunately there was no planning involved, one spreadsheet was just for her to put stuff she bought and the spreadsheet would calculate how much she spent in the month/week. Another one was for her to calculate how much the Saturday children center she is running would earn per month.

Since you made a webapp for personal finances, let me mention you the one a friend made: https://spendbook.net/main it doesn't do planning but I think he'll still be happy to get some feedback.

I use it to do super quick data analysis sometimes, and also I made a few spreadsheets to help my wife to manage our personal finance.

Honest question: what is preventing you from trying Common Lisp in Emacs?
