If we mix Polish and Hungarian notation we get Buda notation: flowingSequence :: (a -> [x]) -> ((a, x) -> y) -> (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> [y] flowingSequence = lyla''aaa'ypax_lxa where ly

Thanks! For me 2x2 is a lumber grade. And yes, I agree, I am trying to exclude a large class of 2x2s. I don't consider "false positive, false negative, true positive, true negative" as a more insightful classification of the

Yes! So Alan Kay points out in some of his many videos that we enjoy sitting around a campfire and talking with our friends, but if we run the numbers, we get more retention from reading and also reading is considerably faster , which

No. Cynefin flow is always along one axis at a time. You wouldn't invert both at the same time. As for why it is a part of my definition of what makes such a diagram "correct" (as opposed to 4 random labels applied to irrelev

In addition to people being multidimensional, this sort of diagram usually has a sort of "internal motion" to it. That is, this is an instance of a diagram that you'll see repeated over and over in business texts; I personall

Ironically these two comments seem to indicate a guide to technical writing, that did not view technical writing itself as a technology which they were writing about? Like, should start with a "quick start overview" about here&#x2

One nice thing is that, once it's in your shell history, doing it again is really easy. So on a big codebase I was working on, it really did help multiple times and saved more than the initial investment. The frustrating thing is, beca

Yes! The actual commands that you have to search up to get it to run automatically without user input, take almost as long to put together as finding the bug that you're finding (in the 80% case, of course there are 20% cases that take

Also to mention it, languages without discriminated unions often have generics and function types, which can be used to build discriminated unions with Church encodings: // idiomatic typescript type Optional<IfAbsent,

Approximate expansion of the original claim, without direct endorsement: Suppose you have an Order object that needs to track where some larger process is in relation to three subtasks. We could imagine say that the Inventory department nee

There is also the opposite, Ed Kmett is on record as saying that he had a million ideas for his personal programming language, and all of the cool stuff it was going to do, but then he ran into Haskell and said “Let’s be real, whatever amaz

I'd mostly agree. SPAs can do things hard to do with URLs and form inputs; for instance, chess would be harder to program in the browser without JS (though I remember an opening explorer which worked that way). Or if you think about po

Yes, this is precisely what the comment thread is saying. Shmatt’s original post should shock you with its conclusion because everyone loses including shmatt.

I get that, probably if I got you talking to my "dead gummint" friends you'd talk past each other about the word "damaging", they'd say "that's not damaging at all, what are you smoking?" etc. et

Just to be clear, are you saying that the ACLU has not been pissed off at the GOP for book bans? Or are you just saying they should be mad at Amazon more? (Because like, libertarians and the ACLU are not going to get mad at Amazon for decid

So I want to clarify that I don't think you're wrong, I just think that that's like saying + is a ternary operator because of course x +^{n} y, which is x plus y n times, and therefore equal to x + (n × y), has three symbols

by crdrost 2y ago
On the one hand the n'th derivative operator is clearly a binary operator that you are composing with a function application operator. On the other hand, OP seems to have not noticed that the ternary conditional also has this structure

That advice is 90% because developers are lazy. Like we'll write const csv = rows.map(cols => cols.join(',')) .join('\n') because we are too lazy to write the more correct, cons

That's the point is that it's up to the shell to make sure that you don't use your work if you do the wrong thing. Could be as simple as prompting you to make sure -- "Overwrite <filename>? [yn]: " -- or cou

Yeah normal time units still exist in relativity, clocks gotta clock. But ratber it's that there exists an operation which is almost entirely like rotation, but it rotates x, y, or z into w=ct, where w is measured in meters just like x

The problem is that according to this argument `cat` should never be used for the thing it was designed for, because if you use it with more than one argument, it would give most Unix users pause, but if you saw it with only one argument th

It kind of is that (a metaphysical restatement), but it's more precisely understood as a kind of half-statement of the theory. That is, if you assume relativity, then for anything which moves faster than speed c , there exists some re

You have understood it about as well as the article did! Now, there is a huge nuance here, which is that you are moving near the speed of light, to certain observers. This is like the whole "relativ-" prefix in "relativity&

So the easiest way to generate a bit more novelty is to ask GPT to generate 10 or 20 examples, and to explicitly direct it that they should run a full gamut -- in this case I'd say "Try to cover the whole spectrum of creativity --

This is great for me for a completely auxiliary reason, which is that I wanted to know whether this was just gonna be a book about programming Fibonacci numbers into types or some ish... and in some ways it's kinda worse, at chapter 9
