I don't think map is sufficient, apart from the trivial example where you bind a single generator. Even in python, these behave as bind? Or I didn't understand what you mean :)

I heard the original idea was, a single prequel and a single sequel. Instead studio supposedly wanted to cash-in, so there was anime-prequel anthology, a short prologue film two sequels themselves and a companion game. And I do think there

Talk to your accountant. I would say, that for people wanting i.e. 3 day weekend, or 6 hour days, agreeing on the 4/5 or 3/4 salary is reasonably simple (I even managed to use this in my salary negotiation, where they offered me X

Hm, I was always kinda scared about setting up .Net on my linux box. What setup do you use?

I don't think there is a general one anymore. The original "wouldn't it be better if we just passed data around through simple composable functions" kinda won, you have first-class anonymous functions with support for cl

Depends what you want and what you value. Do you really need types? I did work in Clojure and I think having good support for immutable data-structures got me 80% of the benefits of functional programming. Similarily, maybe you are sold on

When I was in high-school and college I did this a few times for several months. Pattern I usually fell into is reading a chapter of Proverbs or Ecclesiastes in the morning (to get my boost for this weird spiritual nihilistic stoicism) and

To be honest, I don't really remember how long the exposistion times were. I assume we used less than hour, more than minute and I wonder if I can found our old lab-notes :) Photograms-idea sound really fun as well, and probably a bit

I have a project to do with my daughter then :D I remember I created a small camera-obscura based photo-camera with friends for a physics project from piece o aluminium, old shoe-box and photo-paper :) Reloading it was a pain, cause you had

I have tried, but my back usually started to hurt in ~3 weeks, is my form just wrong? Do I need to have a coach to teach me how to do it?

What I tried to do was buying Onyx Boox Nova Pro [1] It is a fairly decent ebook reader, with decent PDF support, stylus and a nice note-taking app. The interesting thing is, it has bluetooth-support and runs Android 6 (heavily modified, it

Slowly. And it is hard. To be honest I only got these conversations 1 to 1, with reasonably close friends (i.e. we know each other for several years, meet regularly, e.t.c) To get there, make friends. Work on those relationships, indulge ot

Well, with Arabic writing you are not supposed to write wowels, so when I attempted to learn it, I mostly read the shape of words at once. But I didn't really get beyond 'This is Rami and that is his book' :)

I don't envy native english readers, as my teacher said, "I wouldn't be surprised if one day English write Manchester and read Liverpool". I am not sure of all Slavic languages work best with phonics, but one I learned s

My first language! Learned in 2001? Especially the form-builder was really nice! Later on (2006-maybe?) I preffered writing in java, i.e. generics and for-each and checked-exceptions were awesome in my opinion, I think I solved like half of

Rumour has it that J language could be a good successor to FL? But trying to learnin an APL dialect after I just finished learning Golang is ... tricky to say the least :)

This is the reason why i kinda like, I didn't study Computer Science. I studied Theoretical Informatics :)

I do think you need well specified data. My experience is that hierarchy is more trouble than worth. And I did like the fun of trying to figure out a hierarchy for existing system. But after a year in use, I woul look at the hierarchy with

SmallTalk would beg to differ. Javascript as well. And I worked with large, fairly OO-oriented codebases in JS, and it was fine and I didn't miss inheritance.

I would say Rust, Go and maybe even Nim are fairly Object Oriented. Only thing that is going away are class hierarchies as a method to structure programs, because it seems they are more trouble than worth?

Maybe look at a different programming paradigm then? :) I remember trying to learn APL and then watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7Mt0GYHU9A and was amused that there is this world where programming is just symbols

That happens like 10% of the time if you are lucky. Rest of it can be kinda monotonous? Like, getting my daughter from bed through breakfast, dressing up, and walking to kindergarten. Or getting her to walk all the way to her friends house

This would be the norm for ~15 year olds in my country, ~15 to 30 years ago?

Not from the resentment angle. From time to time I wonder if me having my daughter when 25 years old ruined some enterpreneurship future for me, but then I remember, that when I was in my 20-ties, I had many dreams about starting projects,

Not really sci-fy, but my 5 year old daughter enjoyed reading Thing Explainer and What if? from Randall Munroe of xkcd.com fame. What if? is more speculative of the two, and you can read a few of the stories/speculations on https:&#x2

Code-club sounds great. I can say from my memory: I received computer in 1999, on my ~10 birthday. I don't remember if I had big drive for learning programming, but my mom found me a programming course for kids. It was once a week for

How old are the kids? I.e. I have read Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy as ~13 year old and enjoyed it immensly. Terry Prattchets later discworld books might count as well, i.e. Going Postal, Making Money and Raising Steam is quite a bit abou

I think Rob Pike, one of the inventors doesn't see the value of the functional style, at least that is what I gather from the readme of https://github.com/robpike/filter :P Personally, I would love if the language
