Just wanted to say- thanks for your great work in making Scala possible. And wanted to add that going through your Scala Functional Programming MOOC was one of the most rewarding experiences.

Alsup is a badass - be it patent law, or DACA, etc- he takes a balanced view, and "does his homework"(which might be problematic from a legal POV). I would like it if more judges were like him.

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ is really good and approachable. It was even recommended in one of the Gatech OS courses.

We should get Elon to do it.

Does it work with older Windows versions?

Have been using it through R using the excellent https://github.com/walkerke/tigris for some geospatial data visualization. No complaints.

Whenever I hear of "bubble" I am reminded of this quote - "“The market can stay irrational a lot longer than you can stay solvent!”

So yes it may be a bubble- but the bubble may very last a few months, a few years, or a few decades...who knows?

I was trying to see if there is a way to fix this- "no tax code can close all loop holes", and my first thought was Formal methods- and lo and behold Google points me to http://snapl.org/2015/abstracts/hsu.pdf

It sure looks promising. But still wondering if it has been applied in practice.

To be frank- it is very much in the realm of possibility.

If you think GNU Octave has made a difference in your life or other's, please take a moment to continue funding his efforts. http://jweaton.org/?page_id=48

Considering that this second post got much more traction than the first, I don't see anything wrong.

Would the results be different, if the questions were differently worded - say How much would you pay for a 100% foolproof adblocker?

"XML is bloated, almost no one uses it anymore." XML bashing is quite common these days. But I'd like to point out that it's the use case that matters when deciding between JSON and XML. Almost all "enterprise" software prefer XML over JSON.

Just goes to prove that being rejected is not the end of the world.
