Do you have any good links about Template Haskell? I've heard of it before, but I'm curious what the main drawbacks are :)

I respectfully disagree. Even if you don't think it is truly a symmetrical relationship, introducing an arbitrary separation makes it harder for students to develop relationships with their teachers. And learning is definitely enhanced

I feel like there is a big difference between the grammar/informality issue and the first name issue. I think students using bad grammar or texting language is unacceptable, it's just disrespectful. But I think students being on a

Why do you think the Go GC is better than any the JVM options? From what I've seen, while the Go GC is well tuned for low latency, by picking the right JVM GC parameters you can on balance get a better throughput latency tradeoff. I&#

I disagree with your second point. "Logic programming" is a much more accurate term for programing with backtracking and unification than "declarative." For example Haskell is a very declarative language, but it doesn&#x

It's not possible to write a C compiler that guarantees what Rust guarantees. There are just too many implicit assumptions about pointers. Even if you check most cases, weird stuff like XOR linked lists will trip you up. (And sure, if

I think the point here is that the source data might be mutated, without you touching the deserialized struct. Rust prevents that from becoming a problem.

Joyent Manta is basically this. ( https://www.joyent.com/manta ) Bryan Cantrill has a good talk on why it's a useful thing. (I'd link it but I'm on mobile)

Can you explain why you believe that mandatory voting would solve Gerrymandering? I've given it a cursory thought, and it doesn't seem obvious...

> moral statements like "murder is wrong" are objectively true or false That is an incredibly controversial statement... Moral relativism much?

This quip is also quite funny: > ObjectYAML seems to support encoding object files as YAML. I do not know why this is desirable.

I don't think that's a fair summary... The author provides a more nuanced view than just "there is no effect." You're nitpicking from one section about theory, without considering the article as a whole. This is esp

That's not surprising, since that's the correct way to pronounce it...

Can you clarify the difference between your first and second statement? Isn't replacing Ops with code just automating Ops work?

NPR is a non-profit that offers all of it's reporting for free. (Their income mostly comes from donors.) Their a bit of a special case since they're happy to lose money on their online offerings.

Unfortunately, I don't think it does currently. I think you'd have to reimplement them yourself on top of LLVM... That might change though, this co-routine proposal just came up on the mailing list: https://github.com&

I think you're right that C is a gateway to learning how computers work. But I think using the term "real programming" in any context is flame bait...

I didn't read the whole paper you linked, but doesn't this sentence in the abstract contradict your last sentence? >Results indicate that camel casing leads to higher accuracy among all subjects regardless of training, and thos

The "Double Jeopardy" rule only appeals to prosecution. It doesn't mean you can't appeal your case. In the US we have a system that was designed to prevent false convictions, even at the cost of some criminals going free

Formula 1 is mentioned in the article as caring a lot about latency. Why is this so? Is it really essential that race information is distributed quickly?

I think the entire existentialist movement would strongly disagree with your last point. (To say nothing of Absurdists and their ilk.)

But, as it says in the article, WhatsApp just doesn't have the data the judge wants it to turn over. How does it make sense to punish a company for not doing something that it physically cannot do?
