Epuyén outbreak was NOT self-limited.
Even though it was in a remote rural tiny town, it kept spreading. After four turns of human-to-human transmission, including to people merely in the same room, the authorities imposed a strict quarantine for a whole month. Then it ended.

I had a good time visiting CMU a couple of weeks back, but I think the highlight was lecturing about the stuff we're doing with OxCaml at Hype for Types, a student-organized PL class at CMU.

linear algebra is for learning a convenient algorithm for solving simultaneous linear equations, that’s the only thing you need to learn

I understand he’s a legend and all, but doing matrices first is completely the wrong way. It makes all this beautiful geometry just a rabbit from a hat, whereas the reverse order makes this weird rule for matrix multiplication a result rather than a bizarre assumption.
