First Day of Autumn 2009
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Hacking in Bloomington
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Lindsey is writing some OCaml, evaluating lambda calculus expressions. “Also known as programs!”, she adds.
Alex is learning numpy and using it to model some Markov processes. It’s for an NLP class, but the use of numpy is totally gratuitous. He keeps meaning to autogenerate some bad poetry.
Happy hacking, ATL and Bay Area hackers!
