Or C++ at any point in it's history. I guess it's the burden of being multi-paradigm.

Edit: Looks like zak_mc_kracken beat me to it. Which I think just makes the point even more obvious

I would like to read this book but the O'Reilly website eBook + Print combo deal is not available until next year.. Does anyone know how I can order both and get the early access ebook now and then the print book when it's ready?

That would be awesome, I'm using Scala and I would like to incorporate more scalaz into my programming but I have yet to find information convincing me how to go from math concept to implemented functional design pattern.

I worked at a hedge fund at the start of my career, though it was somewhat atypical as it was a very new fund and had more of a startup environment than a well established hedge fund. The work was a fantastic split between analysis and building new software to run the fund.

But to your point, the CTO of the fund was a pure math phd who got into finance/coding when his advisors asked "Ok so now how are you going to make money". which is common for most of the heavy duty quants I know.

I wanted to give some recommendations before I hijacked your thread with my own question but I was going to suggest What is Mathematics, How to Prove it and Naive Set Theory which have already have been mentioned.

I'm actually in a related situation in which I'm competent in analysis (bachelors in physics) but I struggle with all the category theory inspired design patterns in functional programming.

Every book/article I've tried to read is either far too mathematical and so is disconnected from programming or is too close to programming and lacking in general foundations (ie: a monad is a burrito).

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!

I would totally buy that book for my coffee table

Is that the same method as fluorescent lighting?

Does anyone else have an opinion on this book, I dismissed it at first but this has me reconsidering.

For my high school's CS class final project, we made a street brawler using doom characters. All the doom art was captured via opening a game and using print screen, then hoping the sprite was in the right position.

In retrospect, our sprites had their own lofi charm but yea, I never thought to just open up the WAD files.

Wow I would love a Jane Street shirt

Very cool, it would be nice if the animations looped though!

Ah great, I uncommented the line but I didn't have the fonts installed.

The (left,right)_seperators for me are | instead of the cool looking arrows. How do I enable these?

Awesome project! Any timeline on vim support?
