No, not really. I work in a team of four, one of whom is my boss, and I've done code reviews for all three others and been reviewed by all three others. Reviewing others and finding bugs or mistakes in their code, especially my boss&#x

What exactly do you mean by conflicting? Remember that the types, typeclasses and function implementations are all namespaced, so name collisions here are fine. The only problem occurs when you define multiple instances for a type and a typ

Well, for one I believe they pre-date comprehensions. Having them as functions is also occasionally useful for partial application, e.g. from functools import partial to_strings = partial(map, str) # vs def to_strings(seq):

Must watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSGv2VnC0go I believe that the list comprehension will be faster than filter, but as always, any time you replace readable code with unreadable code for performance reasons, you d

Why does everything need to serve a purpose? I can believe the author wrote this just "Because I Can", which is a perfectly good reason to me. Most stuff I work on in my free time, I do just for me. If I think anybody else might b

Here's my take on the authentication vs authorization distinction. Authentication is the verification of identity. Authorization is the verification of permission (authority) to perform an action. The two are often related, but need no

I agree that not all computation would move back to centralized data centres, but then not all computation is done in the cloud now (vs on your mobile phone). 20 years ago, people would have thought it was insane to send data packets ov

by clusmore 10y ago
So we started with centralized mainframes, because it was too expensive for everybody to have their own computer. As hardware improves, computers become cheaper and more powerful and then everybody can have their own, and we move to a distr

These are all great points, and I'm realising now I have missed the point a little. Reading arbitrary code is good, because you learn something regardless of whether the code is "good" or "bad" -- you learn how to

I'm not sure this is a fair comparison, because books are written to be read , but code is (usually) written to be executed . As much as we all agree that code readability is important, the simple fact of the matter is that executabi

I don't think that this is because of functional vs other, but because of the assignment operator and mutable primitives (which functional languages tend to omit). Consider \x y -> g (f x) (f y) We have no way of knowing what

It's funny that I agree with you and my first instinct was to upvote (and I did). But I can justify that as being because "it's an interesting point that I think more people should read." I think people will always want

Yes, it took me a while to "realise" (or perhaps "accept") this as well. What is machine code? Code that a machine can execute natively? What if I built a machine that had primitive instructions for JavaScript? Then Java

Very interesting. I've had something like this on my todo list for a while, and one feature I would love to try is a distributed heap using something like Datomic that you would do large allocations on so that you can care even less ab

Thanks for clarifying. Off-topic, but related to undefined in Haskell, I love holes in Idris as a way to represent incomplete programs. I'd love if it somebody could take them one step further and have it so that if a hole is evaluated

I agree it's better, you will get a compiler warning about a partial function. I did actually mean worse though. The GP at least to me implied that Haskell (for cases like this) sits in the lowlands between Idris (and other dependently
