I don't think it is, instead each operation makes a request. You can use something like catfs https://github.com/kahing/catfs

Probably something like the FBI http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-fbi-cant-find-hackers-t...

There's also PostgREST https://github.com/begriffs/postgrest

Some concepts can't be understood by drawing an analogy to an already known object. For example, the famous "a Monad is a Burrito" (non)explanation.

A monad is an associative wrappable flatMappable. There, all done :)

You could also go all the way and declare a Num a => Num [a] typeclass, with (+) = zipWith (+).

I tried with the Oregon region and it failed. I changed to the N. California region and it worked. (No comment about the GPU though.)

Github recipes are the "works on my machine!" of the new millennium. Just like pecking in programs from computer magazines in the 1980s, only better!

I like the ones that are hardcoded to a specific name in a home directory best. Especially when it doesn't match the github name of the "creator."

I've added a note that the AMI's region must be us-west-1. Thanks for the heads up!

An AMI id is region-specific, the original poster should probably have mentioned what region he created the AMI in.

It's pretty obvious the kid is incorrect because 5*3 is using the sum monoid and overloading notation.

Or at least that would make more sense than arguing the kid is wrong via Javascript and matrices.

Tim Gowers (and several other mathematicians) called to boycott academic publishers with The Cost of Knowledge (http://thecostofknowledge.com/), giving largely similar reasons. It had some success if I recall correctly.

Along similar lines, mathematicians (including Timothy Gowers and Terry Tao) created two free-access journals, the Forum of Mathematics Sigma [1] and Pi [2] that seek to provide a reputable and free alternative to some of the top-tier journals that are being boycotted. It's a bit akin to the PLoS journals --- free and reputable.

Hopefully some reputable open journals will distinguish themselves from the predatory journals that take advantage of unsuspecting junior researchers (or worse, that take advantage of unsuspecting people who don't know better).

Seems that a library boycott might be more effective.

Announce a policy: "We will be reducing our purchase of proprietary journals by 10% per year over the next decade. We will be shifting holdings to journals published under free and open terms."

If that message comes from enough premier libraries, the market will shift.

The change they made was from a monad to an applicative, which is less "hands on", thus preferred. Kind of preferring map over hand-written loops. (Although the golfing is definitively there and in the community, see pointfree/pointless style https://wiki.haskell.org/Pointfree)

I prefer comprehensions over either mapping or explicit recursion. Mapping is a win for abstraction but a loss for clarity.
