> Im sure I would NOT want to work with such person. Well that's the opposite of what the interviewers are looking for. They DO want to work with such people.

Yeah I agree, it's not hard to see why he was rejected from his attitude here

Also some accounts have flagging disabled ie your flags might not do anything

I feel like the public perception of this project will become significantly more harsh now that it has upgraded from a hobby project, and I’m not sure they’re prepared for that

AppKit is very stable yes but it shows its age a little more than UIKit. As you say still better than anything Microsoft can offer

I'm not sure if this is a joke but no using something that might fulfil the laws of a monad doesn't mean you need to know what a monad is generally. Many features of imperative languages can be described using category theory, but

Neither. Posting a link to a beloved piece of software is an easy way to karma farm. No one really questions it

Okay and now you’re using monads which I pointed out are not easy to understand

I’m a scientist who works on LIGO and next generation detectors and I don’t have a deep knowledge of the physics behind gravitational waves either! But realistically you should pick up some lecture notes on general relativity: https:/

> Resonant bars were the first generation of gravitational wave detectors, period. Well, too bad, no one in the field refers to it that way (I’m a LIGO member). Jess is pointing out how the language is used, not saying that it’s correct.

I wasn't responding to your specific point. I was addressing this general idea that the only reason people find imperative programming easier is because they were taught it first
710.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Yes I know but that's not the point of my original post, which is about people who claim that a pure functional style would be considered easier if it were taught first. I'm saying that falling back on imperative is almost always
711.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Okay but now this is just imperative lol, it's no longer functional at all, since your function is now just a sequence of instructions, i.e. it's a procedure rather than a pure function. You've just proved my point
712.
by bowsamic 2y ago
Perhaps, but this is a somewhat contrived example. No side effects, no complicated data structures, etc. Sure, in the specific case of "parallelised" operations on an array it is simple. But anything more complicated and suddenly

There seems to be this weird notion going around that the only reason imperative languages seem easier to people is because they're taught them first, and that if we teach Haskell or Scheme to everyone first then they would find impera

I don’t think that will affect it. Apple’s public use of Keynote has always been very basic

I don't think this is controversial but I think HGVs should obey traffic laws

Cyclists just don't see themselves as normal road traffic, so they don't see themselves as having the same responsibilities or held to the same standard, which is something I'm guilty of myself. I've ridden against traff
