>Even though it provides denotational semantics in the categorical setting for various side-effecting constructs the thing is inherently non-compositional. You don't know what this means. Monads are precisely about composition.

His argument is sound. If there is infinite #s of universes, or the universe keeps reforming infinitely (implication being it will have varying degrees of uniformity), then it's mathematically probable that we would be boltzman brain&

Watching people use PHP is like someone grabbing a rock and bashing nails with it. Sure it's a tool, but you still look stupid using it to hammer things.

Just because something has made tremendous improvements doesn't mean it's not laughably bad. There is no reason to write new applications with PHP in this day and age with the exception of protecting fragile egos of those who are

haha you're right! very nice. C# is tolerable.

You should definitely quit your job if browsing reddit makes you look worse than writing code in PHP.

Err, this is not accurate from my experience. I work at a large company (not one of the 'big 4 tech though) ,remote, in a medium cost of living locale and my salary is what your total comp is. I would get a huge jump if I went to one

I see your point. Not that long ago a white supremacist shot up a black church in the name of America and Christianity but we aren't condemning everyone in those groups. However it would be fair to condemn the small society (ghetto if

Uh huh. Must be why America is constantly terrorized by mass killings committed by Hispanic immigrants or poverty stricken blacks. I'm sorry but you can't just say "this is the inevitable outcome of marginalization". Th

Employees at these companies don't mind paying 50% of their salary for rent because their salary is at most only 60% of their total compensation. Lot of people are getting 1M + deals paid out over 4 years.

Assuming this guy's legit, has a good demo/working code, this seems like it's just begging for an angel investor to make a move here. He's saying he can work on the game for $230 a month . Someone with a marketing&#x2

I get home around 7-8. Half of the time I'll cook dinner with my wife, talk about our days as we cook, eat dinner together. Around 8:30 or 9:00 we'll hang out in the living room. If I have energy and am feeling ambitious, or I

That doesn't mean they don't like you. Plenty of my friends can be condescending. shrug It's common (and sometimes necessary) to be condescending. So, make up for it by having an excess of goodwill. Give praise when you

Need to tax unoccupancy . If an entity is preventing people from living in the city, they should be paying more than those contributing to the well being of the city.

I'm a little confused. You are saying you don't want people to be familiar with implementing an algorithm before you ask it? Like are there actually candidates who can come up with implementing red black tree rotation on the fly

Go is shit. Trust me, Rust will suit you better. Coming from C# it will be a lot closer to what you're used to than the bizzaro-world of Go.

Great to see some feedback on Rust, I've only played a bit but was quite impressed, dsepite being a mostly high level programmer. However, it sounds like Eve is a simple, dynamically typed programming language/environment. So it&

I don't agree, it's 'direct ML heritage' is quite superficial, as it omits ML's most powerful feature, functor modules. Scala however has all kinds of super powered functional programming features that F# is missing

You fail to understand that you cannot extrapolate simplicity in the small to simplicity in the large. It's a common mistake people make, but the sooner you realize it the better you'll be as a programmer. Go is simpler than Sca
