Based on the examples presented, it seems like the OP doesn't actually mean "higher-order functions" in general. The "good" example still uses map, which is a higher-order function. It seems like what OP has a probl

That doesn't help much, seeing as the predicate is essentially "… if you don't want to do free debugging work for me as well as the free development work you're already doing."

As I've heard it defined, the "viable" part basically means that you could tell someone with a straight face that this product would be useful to them. It doesn't need to have wide-market appeal, since the point is to st

A standard server-side, non-JS version of the Hacker News front page? I feel like that's pretty easy to find.

I certainly agree such standards exist. But one of those standards of behavior that reasonable people agree to seems to be "Don't try to ruin people's lives just because they hold unpopular opinions." The people I know w

FYI, many people will perceive this comment of yours as dickish. Do you want everyone to know you're a dick, or do you feel like you're just expressing an opinion and having somebody attempt to personally harm you based on it wou

I don't see where the overflow would come into play since count is the terminal value and count is necessarily representable in its type.

I feel like you could about as well write an article about how Go or Scala or TypeScript is like Kotlin. They all have some cases where they look similar or have some similar constructs borrowed from other sightly-less-recent languages. It

I do sometimes. I mean, obviously there are some things I absolutely need to do, but other than that, I have a decent degree of freedom. I feel like it's worth thinking about what I should do rather than just default to sitting in fron

You're basically saying that this isn't technically better, just more socially acceptable right now. I think you're right, but it seems to me that Atom's problem is primarily a social one. So even if this doesn't ca

People have been saying that since like 2005. Web apps may not be your personal preference, but they're not the apocalypse either.

One way to frame this is "corporations want to suck that money away." Another way to frame it is "most participants in the economy are non-rich and would appreciate that money more, so it's unfortunate if it's sitti

That's only a difference of like 65 people. It's just that the ransom is quite high.

IIRC the middle class wouldn't need higher taxes to significantly increase tax revenue unless your idea of "middle-class" is making seven figures.

I'd be surprised if Umbrella were all that close to the highest. Other Rihanna songs like S&M, Work and We Found Love In A Hopeless Place seem far more repetitive (at least to my intuition of what qualifies as repetitive).

This appears to lead to the conclusion "UBI is impossible" only if we include the premises "It's impossible to reduce COL" and "It's impossible to increase tax revenues."

It seems strange to say that a company that produces works of art is more soulless and capitalist than a glorified snack bar that shows other people's art to draw customers.

It's sometimes called a scam because the lead designer was making false claims about the game all the way up to its release, not because it's bad. That's a totally different question. Anyway, it sounded to me like your initia

You're not wrong that it could reflect an angry minority, but it's far more reliable than "I know a couple of people who liked that," which is the competing metric in this case.

I personally love the movie Spice World. I've known people who enjoyed literally getting punched. The fact that you know someone who enjoys something doesn't mean that thing is generally well-loved. I accept that Spice World was n

I'm not sure where this is getting confusing. You complained that Microsoft's Mac offering doesn't make Windows apps. It was then observed that this is an ironic complaint because development for Apple platforms is way more l

I think the relation is that Apple is even more guilty of the thing you were complaining about Microsoft doing.

Sure, but insofar as the video game industry is an interesting cultural topic for our age (which I think it is), Nintendo and Sony are probably the most important players in its history, and this prototype represents a pivotal moment for bo
