This week: Streams and Delayed Evaluation!

last week catchup
what problems arise from merging those bank accounts?
- no timestamps means there's no way to know which one to take next
how can we avoid those problems?

C libraries in Solaris and hacking configure files
rolling average over streams
leaky integrators and hardware
random number generators: CSPRNGs, "stateless" generators, parallelism, purity / memoizability
PRNGs on GPUs, desirable properties of PRNGs
IEEE floating point is ridiculous, but ubiquitous
j has nice numeric coercion and infinite arithmetic
k and q are publicly available
how do we blend fp and oo?
a cookie-clicker clone demo
streams in Elm: you can have it all
- (or is it really just a giant global?)
idle game stickiness vs roguelike stickiness
polymorphic types in Pascal and Haskell
dependent types (Idris vs Shapeless)
linear differential equations and how to solve them
analytics methods vs numeric methods (heat transfer and propellors)
