actually, just checked. The website is published with github pages from https://github.com/gabipurcaru/dedo/. For the geeks out there, this bit of code should be interesting: https://github.com/gabipurcaru/dedo/blob/master/lang/src/uni...

There's an old version available, but for no good reason. I should make this public - email me at gabi [at] purcaru [dot] com if you want to contribute

nice! This doesn't seem to support money though. Maybe I'll add a PR :D

I wrote https://dedo.io/ as a web version of this, since there's no good equivalent for linux

> You find Ocaml libs for a lot of needs, but a lot of those a unmaintained and have their last commit a couple of years ago.

Not sure what issues you ran into, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I had a similar experience with Elixir, where some libraries had been last touched two years ago, but did the job with no issues whatsoever.

I think the main reason is that there is no _actual_ problem that OP needs to solve. If there was one, then he would get pragmatic and figure out one of the reasonable solutions to this and move on with his life.

Though it's true that Haskell is easy to put you into a mindset where you want to simplify and generalize the code as much as possible, leading to wasted time on overly general solutions. Which shouldn't be the case, because e.g. if you want to extend the solution from lists to traversables, Haskell gives you the confidence to safely refactor the method at a later time.

in parts of Europe you can use Revolut, where you can choose whether to enable or disable contactless payments, chip and pin, ATM withdrawals and online payments, depending on what you want to use the card for. You can even keep all of them off and only activate a specific feature for a few minutes when needed.

This looks nice. One thing though - you should consider using strings instead of numbers for the amounts. The problem is that numbers in JS are actually floats, and you lose precision on high values. Probably not going to make a big difference, but e.g. 100000000000000001 can't be represented as a number in JS.

did Facebook deny responsibility?

sampling bias at work -- the smaller a college is (and the more small colleges you sample), the higher your chances of finding one with better percentages, in pretty much anything

the red and blue colors suggest that less is worse. Why would that be the case? It seems like it should ideally be the opposite, if anything

Shameless plug for my http://dedo.io/, which is similar to this this, but with less features, more money-oriented and support for any custom units, e.g. if bag_weight = 12 kg / bag, then 10 bags * bag_weight is 120kg

Not true. I've interned three times at FB and will join full time, and I'm from a Romanian university that is nowhere near "top".

Why is everyone working on style transfer? It doesn't seem like such an interesting problem in the field, compared to things like speech recognition for example. Is it just because it's a "cracked" problem and it looks nice? I'm just genuinely curious here, not trying to bash the amazing work these people do.

Is there a way to let the algorithm not make a guess if it doesn't find a strong match? I guess it would be better to not output anything than to output gibberish, right?

Cool stuff. There's something similar for London too: http://property.mapumental.com/

Well you can't really. If you want to write frontend apps, for example, you have to use JS. You could technically use some FPLang-to-JS compiler, but those suck more often than not.

Also, I don't see how "let's not make a thing better just because it was not meant to work this way" is an argument.

I'm sure there is a fallacy name for this, but consider some other examples: "You could always use fridges for cooling and let cars be" or "You could always use computers for browsing the internet and leave phones be".

You seem to be contradicting yourself -- "just stuff that you learn along the way" vs "Doesn't list getting familiar with any version control systems". Aren't version control systems "stuff that you learn along the way" in your opinion?

IMO, any resource like the one in the OP is going to get bashed ("not the way I would learn stuff"). Might as well learn something from it.

while a .io domain is more expensive than a .com domain, you have to take into consideration that all the good .com domains are already taken (and you have to buy them from third parties for more money), while you still can get some good .io domains

Yup, it does. I do have a quick working example, with a plain multipart form :) You can check it out here: https://github.com/gabipurcaru/peggy

While this is not exactly what you are talking about, I think it demonstrates that node.js streams can do that too.

Because it's much more convenient to have one single name for it in all of Earth's languages.

Shameless plug: I've created a library[0] that is similar in scope, but uploads to Amazon S3. If you find dropjar interesting you might want to check out this too.

The more you know I guess. Thanks for the explanation!

Wasn't it called the Breadth-First Search algorithm (as opposed to the Depth First Search)? I never noticed this name before.

not an expert, but as far as I know, HTTP is a layer over TCP

It's very interesting how our eyes and brain processes colors differently -- for example, I see a lot of green and blue, but less red (though this is probably due to having a mild case of Protanomaly I suppose).

well the coffeescript and javascript versions behave differently. The coffeescript is the equivalent of

    var hello = function() {document.write("Hello World")}; hello(); 

while the javascript is the equivalent of

    document.write "Hello World"

Another one that I find useful -- using `map` instead of list comprehensions when you want to apply a function to every element. So instead of:

    [str(x) for x in array]

Do this:

     map(str, array)

How is this an argument? If I shoot a bullet from a very distant planet and it will reach Earth after 12M years, will you be safe if it came directly towards you?
