Agreed on all counts, I really don't get why you're being downvoted. Not that we care about internet karma, more that I wonder why others disagree with the points you've made.

Being offended by racial slurs is a sign of professionalism. You could extend this to ableist slurs pretty easily. I know I cringe everytime someone (sadly including myself sometimes) uses it since I have a family member that is mentally ha

Now all we need is something to take advantage of all these annoying to configure/setup tools and have something people can easily start with. I know that ide-backend is attempting to provide something convenient for such tooling, but

I don't think you can say "Haskell is nowhere near an ML-like language" based on just lazy vs eager evaluation. See here[0]: > Since Haskell is inevitably an ML (descending from Lazy ML) derivative, one might begin by poin

ML isn't that popular though right? Would it be fair to say GHC had the most impressive optimizations of mainstream language? With that said I certainly wonder why ML isn't more popular!
402.
by codygman 11y ago
I've heard quite the opposite. I've heard that GHC is state of the art in the depth and breadth of optimizations it can perform. I'm struggling to remember if the context was "of everything" or just within pure func

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Anecdotally and in my area I can confirm racism and sexism (usually in the form of "harmless jokes") is pretty rampant in tech.

You should take it as a compliment, in (probably large) part it means you and your wife looked good enough to be Stanford material.

Teaching about the common racist stereotypes[0] would help. Perhaps communicating that not assuming minorities belong in specific places can be demeaning, and it's best to be mindful of stereotypes when talking to minorities. 0: https

I think it's important to keep in mind that stereotypes about women not being as intelligent as well as black people not being as intelligent as non-black plays a (large imo) part in this as well. Add the two together and there's

I prefer to go by this definition of racism: "Racism, however, describes patterns of discrimination that are institutionalized as “normal” throughout an entire culture. It’s based on an ideological belief that one “race” is somehow bet

Anecdotally speaking I used to think microaggressions were utter BS. Then I got into an interracial relationship (I'm white, she's black) and the way I was treated when with my girlfriend and alone were very noticeably different.

Perhaps they are much simpler than everyone believes they are and the tutorials are the result of people overcomplicating them.
