I would love to help out if possible. I'm a Canadian citizen but not in Halifax, so I guess I can write my MP but I don't think they have much authority to look into a provincial matter like this.

The problem is that it requires all of your functions to have a fixed arity I think, or at least a lower bound on the arity, or you use newlines as part of the syntax. Check out this https://shriram.github.io/p4p/

I was planning on mentioning it as soon as I saw this post as well. I think most people who try using a functional programming language that encourages you to use sum types (at least when you're beginning) run into this in some way, bu

I spent some time recently trying it on my XPS 13 and I noticed that the mouse would freeze sometimes as well. Also there are some weird glitches when using apps like Steam, but that's not a major issue really. Probably the two things

I think it has some kind of firmware that manages the backlight, so if you switch between really bright and dark windows a lot (like a browser and terminal) then it changes brightness a lot which is annoying, and there's no way to turn

Worked fine for me (I had never used it before). Perhaps the problem is with your OS? Learning how to install dependencies should be one of the first things a programmer learns. I don't think it's unreasonable to learn that a mess

What if they had used a language without the possibility of recursion and without loops? I'm being serious. Languages that disallow certain types of recursion, and disallow loops exist. You'd think they would've used somethin

Yeah, I think there would need to at the very least be some sort of artificial general intelligence capable of applying the existing body of law to new situations. I.e. able to take penumbral cases and work them out in a way we would consid

Yes, although I'm not sure why they had to use single letter symbols to identify the different types of chess pieces. Also it seems like they could've applied the DRY principle a bit with all of those conditionals. Also the use of

Awesome, I'll look into it. I definitely like being able to create my own custom ISO and install it. Thanks!

Not surprised they have such a toxic/brogrammer work environment. Some of the people on their IRC channel seemed really rude when I used to go on there (including the person who did that). Also I used to know a woman from one of the FO

I think the point was that once technology reaches a certain point where it's easy and efficient to do things we need (like produce clothes and food) then it's better to reduce everyone's hours by half or so (and keep paying

It might actually be the reason why you (and I) misread it. One of the theories of lexical access (how you retrieve the semantic content in your memory through speech/text) is that it starts with the first few sounds/characters an
