The Vietnamese proved that it's not the bombs you can throw at the country - it's whether you have hearts and minds on your side. The Americans learnt from that and went to Iraq claiming to have hearts and minds on their side - bu

It's Israel's immediate history (as in the last year or so) that's made it an easier scapegoat. That and the Saud's, despite an appalling human rights record, are politically difficult to blame for anything (including Bi

I mean - you're arguing there about a small blast radius, and I genuinely appreciate that not taking down the whole system when a bug occurs is incredibly valueable. But, the discussion is about dynamic typing, and the fact that the fu

is_int is doing the work of a type checker? I mean I'm not an Elixer guy (not at all) so it's a bit opaque to me how that's not an enforcement of specific types (albeit the firstname, lastname can be anything?) Once we get in

Thank you for admitting your logic has no basis in fact - which was clearly your approach when looking at your rejection of data. Let me know when you are actually interested in science, facts, or logic.

For my $0.02 - it depends where you want to put the onus Statically typed languages put the onus on the caller to transform the data into the shape(s) required. Dynamically typed languages put the onus on the called to handle anything. That

It's always been that way for me... is that not enough, you want actual data?

by awesome_dude 4mo ago
I have a saying - if you think the data is bad because it doesn't match your narrative, go out and prove you have better data collection methods. Anecdata is well known to be problematic.
