The overhead that is being talked about in the blog post is mostly the impossibility to inline/optimize the C code of the callee, setting up the stack frame, etc. How would OCaml avoid that?

I also would prefer more clarity in the area of logging IP addresses, and would like to have a clearer consensus on what is allowed here. I think we will get a clearer picture after a bit of time. It appears to me that as long as you don&#x

CryptoKitties seems to work because all the game logic is on the blockchain. But for a more involved game this is not feasible. Whenever you have to interface with the outside world you have a trust issue there: You need to somehow trust th

Maybe we just misunderstood each other a bit: My point about the 'federal crime' is not to judge gambling as more nefarious, but to simply point out that the violated law in this case is a completely different type of law (crimina

Well, I'd say it's also not at all rightful in a "what's actually right and good" sense. And as others have pointed out, no the users don't get to put a leash on webmasters, it just allows the users to retain s

My transfers were in the 1k-10k range, I guess that's not "serious" for you. But no, if I were putting such a big amount of money in their hands at once I would certainly do more research and look for better safeguarding.

Great that all those exchanges aren't charging any fees and there's no transaction cost for Bitcoin... I recently did a lot of EUR-USD transfers and have evaluated several options. I came to the same conclusion as other posters he

I already told you what is safe: Your headlamps must illuminate a distance within which you can stop (including reaction time). With 50km/h this is ~40m. This is a distance that your low-beams will illuminate even in a dark night. If y

Um, do you have a driver's license? Nobody said anything about 100% safety in some provable way. But certainly it is very much the driver's responsibility to pick a safe speed. Driver's Ed (at least in most? EU countries) tea

So... those seven years of research don't allow you to give any specifics on how it will scale? Just "believe me"? I think that's what all the sceptics (including me) are worried about: lots of hyperbole and wishful thin

Somewhat tangentially, I noticed that fish performs quit badly in remote-mounted (sshfs) directories that are git repositories. I wonder if it would be possible to detect a remote mounted filesystem and turn off/tone down some of the r

"PII" only seems to exist in US law, GDPR has "personal data". I am far from an expert an GDPR, but it doesn't seem to be so clear cut. Even if IP addresses in this context are considered personal data, there may be

Wow, this is really well designed and the article is a pleasure to read. I wonder if it might be even better for the ExchangeRate constructor to take two different Dense values, something like: exchangeRate (1 :: Dense "EUR") (12

What's the point of market cap here? It's just (current price)*(number of bitcoins), so if some speculators drive the price up, even if there are low volumes on the exchanges, the market cap will rise by a corresponding percentage

The WHOIS data for gnutaler.org seems possibly fishy too. Lists an address in Germany, but the city/state name are not actual cities/states and the country code is turkey.
