The chapter is (supposed to be) about the object oriented features of OCaml (they would be the "O" part) but this example is more objectionable than objective. It was intended to be ... http://martian.org/marty/2008/03/23/practical-ocaml-larger-example/ I was about to comment on the "Larger Example" in chapter 18, starting on page 243; but first I have to get rid of the trimin method it contains: method private trimin x y z = match x,y,z with m,n,o ... http://martian.org/marty/2008/03/22/practical-ocaml-not-again/ I have been reading Practical OCaml. I didn't buy the book; I recommend that you don't buy it too. I was given a copy and asked if I could say something good about it, so here goes: "it could be worse". There are so many other negative reviews of ... http://martian.org/marty/2008/03/11/practical-ocaml-minimum-review/ お勧めだ 黄色な雪を 食べないで http://martian.org/marty/2008/02/03/winter-advice/ They must really want to make it easy for us to attend YAPC::Asia this year: the venue is beside our apartment! http://martian.org/marty/2008/01/30/yapcasia-2008/ In one of my Japanese classes I was studying transitivity pairs of verbs: in each pair both verbs have the same basic meaning, but one is transitive and the other is intransitive. (A transitive verb requires an object; an intransitive verb does not.) For example, one of the ... http://martian.org/marty/2008/01/22/there-goes-godzilla/ I've just been surprised and amused by an animated picture designed to identify the dominant side of your brain. (I'm not going to post the image here as I cannot find any copyright details for it. You can find it on many websites, including Gizmo Watch and Facebook.) ... http://martian.org/marty/2008/01/19/no-brainer/ Karen was reading Perl Buzz and noticed that Perl6 on Parrot will be called "Rakudo", which is a shortened form of "rakudadou" or 駱駝道, the "way of the camel". But I think that "rokudo", a shortened form of 六道輪廻, would be a better name; it even has the number ... http://martian.org/marty/2008/01/18/%e9%81%93%e3%81%8c%e9%95%b7%e3%81%8f%e3%81%a6%e3%80%81%e9%a7%b1%e9%a7%9d%e3%81%8c%e9%81%85%e3%81%84/ Karen said, "It may actually be colder in the bathroom than it is outside".
