A function call that's not artificially restricted to return to its caller is equivalent to a goto. See "Lambda: The Ultimate GOTO" by Guy Steele. A continuation is a value that's passed to a function to tell it where to

Meh. The term "psychosis" is a deliberate troll. If "FP psychosis" is understanding that imperative programming is a ridiculously primitive misunderstanding of computation that tends to discount the time dimension, it im

Why would space matter, economically? The real immediate economic value hasn't really changed for decades. Starlink is the most recent significant innovation in that area, and it's worth less than 3% of Google's revenue. The

Ironically saying "isn’t just smart— it’s important" (complete with em-dash!) and "No shortcuts. No filler. No excuses." sounds very AI-generated. Not saying it is, just pointing out how messed up the world we live in no

That's a bit like saying "I don't wear a seatbelt when driving a car, but I've never had a problem."

You could make a similar argument for bicycles. Apparently the numbers for bicycles are a bit better, even in adjusted terms, but still. They're very unsafe in general.

What changed is that LLMs allow people who can’t write to generate pieces that sound like they were shat out by a middle manager high on his own LinkedIn page. This post is pure, 100% slop.
