I use youtube a worrying amount, all through firefox (and I am also an ADHD 1000 tabs open person), and I have never had this experience across multiple computers.

Monads don't compose between different instances, but monad transformers do.

Wow, this is a great post, thank you for sharing. It echoes my thoughts exactly.

As far as monad tutorials go, this one seems quite good. I like the categorization of monads between "containers" and "recipes". However, I personally think that monad tutorials tend to give people the wrong impression a

Public regulation also course-corrects, it just does so through democracy rather than competition. I would argue that democracy is a superior method in most instances, because its motives are driven by the motives of the population as a who

I feel this is a slightly disingenuous argument - mismanagement and poor planning can happen in both the public and private sectors. The US healthcare system is just one fantastic example of the private sector absolutely failing to deliver

I don't think it's an insensitive question at all. To answer - As a trans woman, interests/hobbies are not really a marker of gender that I feel is important to me. I would say the same is true of all my trans friends, althou

it seems more likely to me that it's for the same reason that clicking the first link on wikipedia iteratively will almost always lead you to the page on Philosophy since their conversation has no goal whatsoever it will generalize and

I don't understand the vitriol this author seems to have towards rav1d/Rust. It's just a separate implementation of the project. Slower, faster, who cares? Getting so attached to "which language is faster" seems a t

I think it depends a lot on what you're trying to do. I found that anything GPU-related was a nightmare of drivers and configuration which was a show-stopper for me. Now I just run arch/kde and that all works fine out of the box

I don't understand the productivity that people get out of these AI tools. I've tried it and I just can't get anything remotely worthwhile unless it's something very simple or something completely new being built from th

I'm not necessarily advocating java, I think rust is def the best solution in most cases -- but java definitely has a significant performance edge on python. The JVM will never be quite as fast as native code, but it's very fast t

I'm confused by this, because a panic is essentially an exception. They can be thrown and caught (although it's extremely discouraged to do so). The only place where it would be different is if you explicitly set panics to abort i

I just don't close them, that's all. If I search something, I open a new tab. After hours or days, there's a lot of them, at which point I go "whoops," close all the windows, and start fresh. Maybe that's not t

the point of saying "faster than C" isn't to make it a competition, it's to demonstrate that Rust is capable of hitting performance goals that previously one needed to use C/C++ for.

I have never once had an issue with a website that was solved by opening it in Chrome instead. and I switched to firefox like three years ago. If firefox is so much less supported, I'm not seeing it at least

Gender dysphoria is a potential cause of mental illness, not a mental illness in itself. If someone has a job they hate or an unhealthy relationship which is causing them to be severely depressed, the best treatment is simply to quit that j

they refer in the beginning to physics classes, and I had the same exact experience in university. diffeq was not a prereq and yet instead of explaining the derivation of these equations, our physics professor just handwaved and said "

with all due respect, it sounds like you have the privilege of working in some relatively tidy codebases (and I'm jealous!) with a legacy codebase, or a fork of a dependency that had to be patched which uses an incompatible buildsystem

last I used OCaml, the standard library situation was abysmal (compared to say Haskell's), and you had to go searching for third-party "batteries included" crates to cover simple stuff. Has that gotten any better the last few

it's kind of like lisp's ugly cousin. Super-duper simple at its core, built around a single data structure (tables instead of lisp's lists), and flexible enough, thanks to meta-tables, that you can build extensions on top of

I had a similar revelation a few months ago when working on a little game in Lua. Since a game runs as a loop, all synchronous code needs to be able to execute within one frame. So you end up making overcomplicated state machines to represe

Proportionally, they are far, far closer to self driving even with multiple people driving the train. A ratio of just 1:100 drivers:passengers is a vast improvement on personal cars which would probably be what, 1:1? Maybe 1:2 on average?
