And then you actually try to write it in a functional language, and end up with something like: cake = map (cool . bake 30 175) . splitIntoPans $ mix [ butter, sugar, walnuts ]

How is it so? Lazy evaluation (and thus the concept of a (weak-head) normal form, and the possibilty of space leaks) is pretty fundamental to Haskell. It's also impossible to write generic folds (i.e. without adding an NFData constrain

>The only reason the second speaker would say "When I see xyz on the floor" is because she has seen it before and that feeling happens every time. It's not as explicit as "you always", but it still implies a recu

>The only explicit difference is the demand to do it immediately. No. The first speaker exaggerates the issue to make a point ("you always"), makes a roundabout reference to societal norms ("it's disgusting") ins

I'm also surprised by all the talk about Sublime's death. I use it all the time for everything except C++ (for which I use CLion) and it's good as it is, I don't see why would it need update churn. Well, except for still

Nice job ripping a new asshole in a theme-park version of buddhism, but I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to communicate here. I mean, yeah, sitting on your ass doing nothing your entire life is a bad idea, sure.

This has the added benefit of disabling local password managers like PasswordSafe. Might as well throw in some stupid password policy (like maximum password length, or banning some special characters but not explaining which) to make sure s

Not exactly lisps, but Carp ( https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp ) and Scopes ( https://bitbucket.org/duangle/scopes/wiki/Home ) might be worth a look. I haven't tried the former, and co

Microsoft ships the entire Ubuntu, which does contain GPL3 code. Maybe they get away with it because it's not so integrated with the rest of Windows.

And thus instead of being outwitted by a superintelligent AI maximizing paperclips, we end up with a pantheon of blind idiot gods, tended to by priests who don't understand them, and kept alive with human sacrifice.

So the way to fix dysfunctional meetings is not to split them into manageable sizes, but rather shift them into some sort of impromptu unpaid overtime, and bribe your staff with alcohol in hopes that they won't notice?

I'm not sure if it's possible to please everyone in a world where it's easier to call a lynch mob than to parse a compound sentence.

I have a similar experience. Standups keep me at least vaguely informed on what other people are doing, provide an opportunity to take the pressure off poor souls buried under a new influx of tasks, and are perhaps some light team building

As much as I wish you weren't, I think you're actually behind the curve on this. Barely anyone defines left-wing politics this way any more; it's all about idpol and capitalist realism now.

I was referencing an old joke; that Haskell programmers allegedly spend so much time polishing their types that they never get around to actually write anything useful.

What about just losing software patents altogether? Sorry, but from my perspective on the other side of Atlantic, it looks like a yet another example of "there's no way to avoid this - says the only country where this happens&quot

And then there's you, trivialising the whole discussion with the "did nothing wrong" meme. How is that intellectually gratifying? You left out from your list the stance that while Stallman did in fact, repeatedly, do wrong, h

Think `data Foo a = Foo (a -> Bool)`, pardon my Haskell. A function `map :: (a -> b) -> Foo a -> Foo b` is impossible, however `contramap :: (a -> b) -> Foo b -> Foo a` is fine (just pre-compose the given function with
