Comment on LastCalc: A powerful calculator meets Quora meets Siri by ian

CS, thanks for the pointer, I wasn’t aware of Frink.

Actually I may not have reinvented the wheel to the extent that you think I have – since all of the unit conversion in LastCalc is handled by the Java JScience library, which is very powerful.

Frink doesn’t seem to be very well maintained from what I can tell, and to the extent that it supports programming, it seems to be an imperative language.

With LastCalc I wanted to follow the functional programming approach, and in doing so I’ve borrowed quite a bit from languages like ML and Haskell (although LastCalc isn’t strongly typed).

Thanks for bringing this to my attention though, I may be able to borrow some ideas from it.

A lot of this work may have already been done, you might want to check out the amazing Frink, first published in 2001 by Alan Eliasen. If you’re looking for a web front end, you might want to get in touch with him to see how it could be done.

Here’s the docs (info also avail. at Wikipedia):

Sammy, there isn’t, however there is no reason that one couldn’t be created. I recommend joining the discussion group to discuss further.

Comment on Remembering Oliver Schmelzle by Milan

This is terrible. I had lunch with him a couple of months back and he was an awesome guy. He struck me as the type that was always happy and always smiling. I dropped him an email and he didn’t respond so I Googled his name and found this page. I feel so sorry for his family. We talked about our kids during lunch and he obviously adored his.

Comment on The perils of treating a model’s predictions as actual probabilities by Greg

Perfect timing! I just ran into this problem recently, and this was very helpful. Thanks for the good summaries and links (same to you Ronny).

Thanks Ronny, skimming that paper it appears that they use the same algorithm described in paper #2, and looking at the description of the algorithm in Table 1. it appears that they use the exact solution that I came up with independently above!

This suggests that the description of the algorithm in paper #2 was incorrect, I have updated my blog post accordingly.
