Research Mathematician. I'm going to try anyway but I doubt I'll even make it to grad school and the career prospects for an average mathematician to do research near full time are dim.

I was just trying to tease out what you need to know so that Idris fits in half a page. I'd actually like to know those things!

Thanks. I was trying to show it started off unproductive and went into a constructive chat about Haskell type and value level functions, but this was also a lazy test of if people are interested in the conversational format. I think the result is maybe? I want to make a socratic dialogue style presentation of some ideas in FP, I don't have much interest in saying OOP is terrible, because I don't have much interest in talking about OOP.

I like your points, but I'm not sure of the Idris on half a page. How much tacit knowledge does that rely on? We do need to focus on the fundamentals of education, the spectrum of logics with quantifiers, lambda calculus, and natural deduction style presentations of language semantics (not sure what to actually call this?).

Cool, but I find that hard to read. I'm going to do a custom stylesheet, I was just waiting to see if there was any interest in the conversational format form my Slack conversations. Really appreciate your effort.

I meant it turns into a constructive discussion of Haskell, I should have made that clearer. Thanks!

I would love some constructive feedback on how to do better, thanks.

I'd love if you can point out the incorrect points, but I understand that's not your responsibility. Thanks for the feedback!

Great advice."What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right"

Having taken Algorithms at both undergrad and graduate levels and read through many books to prep Google/Facebook/etc interviews, I would flip out if anyone ever makes take an Algorithms class again.

Interesting. Certainly something to consider. I never thought about being a non-degree seeking student.

I hope it is not stupid. I won't fit inside the university system at this point. They would make me take courses on subjects I already know which is a waste. I have about 20 hours on the weekend I can use towards accomplishing a class and I will have minimal waste since my curriculum is tailored directly for me. Of course it is only because I already wasted a decade learning math poorly that I know what I want to know and what I need to know to know it ;)
