>Yeah, I didn't think you knew who you were criticizing, or even had the curiosity to google them. I was being sarcastic. Either way you shouldn't worship people. Everyone is infallible. Clearly Scott made an editor and clearly

Why does that make it bad? I could call it Mathematical Lambda Patterns. MLP for short and put currying under it. Or I could just call it english vocabulary within the field of mathematics. Every single thing you said could be done without

>Oh, it looks like we have ourselves a classic "idea guy"! I've met a whole lot of people like you before. It must be hard getting a job in such a crowded field, especially at a time like this. It's just a fuzzy idea.

You misunderstand. I watched it. I'm talking about information delivered in a serial format. A linear and ordered ingestion of information. I'm not talking about text per se, but the property of text that makes all programs follow

I do not agree with the freeform nature of viewpoint. The possibilities are boundless but you have to temper the boundlessness with the fact that our brains are biased and specialized to work in certain ways. Case in point can you communica

All programming is visual, think about it. Text is visual. I'm not just pointing out a semantic discrepancy here. Text is a specific method of encoding meaning and processes in a visual way. In short, textual programming is just a subs

I had a coworker who couldn't understand why people didn't just use emacs. I figured he was just cocky or he just didn't understand people in general. The huge downside of emacs is it's Huge learning curve. The rest is n

It's not an anti pattern. It's actually a zero cost abstraction. Iteration using recursion causes the stack to fill up. You could say reduce can work but ultimately reduce needs to be implemented using recursion or a for loop. Red

Although programs function in an ideal universe amenable to proof and theory and therefore perfect for calculation and theoretical approaches rather than engineering "best practices," what you describe has not been the case in the

I still don't understand why people worship this book. Contrary opinion here but I think this book is actually below average. I think it's good that it introduces the overall concept of Design patterns, but the book itself isn&#x2

You know how cells with cancer or defects commit suicide in the human body? Maybe this is a macro level aspect of the same phenomenon. Humans take the most risky high reward choice to self select the best candidate for reproduction. Only it

Why the hell is this voted down? It's true. There is a sacrifice that must be made between saving lives and saving businesses that is very real. Ideally we want to save lives but there will be a line drawn somewhere where we must open

He cited color theory. Isn't color theory made up of an arbitrary choice of three colors? Additionally the color spectrum is one dimensional because it's really just frequency of light. Geometric symmetry on an arbitrary mapping o

Dude, the entire field of Machine learning is an attempt to find a global optimum. It is an attempt to turn what is otherwise a design problem into a calculation. To say that global optimums are moot or don't exist is categorically wro

No this is not true. Definitely not smart either. Not everything in the universe is a nice yin yang tradeoff, this is a philosophical and scientific mistake. There exists in this world solutions to problems that are the most optimal. When h

The next level after making your variables immutable is to get rid of variables all together. Just function pipes from IO in to IO out. It's called the point free style.

That's easy. Just say I will never compromise on writing unreadable and messy code. I will also never compromise on documentation. That's just a disservice to my team members and disrespectful to anyone who will ever read or modif

No. You still need a regular database due to read performance. If I want to read the "latest" data, a search on an event store for a piece of data that wasn't changed in the past year would take an inordinate amount of time.

The HN title also says immutability, so I'm referring to that. "Erase" and "immutability" are contradictory. The author clearly can only mean one.

I love immutability it makes things ten times easier. This isn't really immutability? It looks like an infrastructure refresh on deploy. If you are refreshing something by definition it's probably not immutable. I guess the author

I consider myself good at programming in general. But let's say the interviewer was hiring me for a technology stack that I'm pretty much clueless about... let's say assembly language or cobol... Even then I can bullshit my w
