I wouldn’t recommend revery to anyone yet, although it is really promising it isn’t anywhere near ready yet.

Imagine if the temperature dropped to -5c for a week in Bagdad. The people who live in these areas aren’t used to this kind of consistent extreme heat, especially considering how humid it will be. Northern India is actually experiencing a h

Can you give an example of what you mean by this? That’s the kind of thing you would use “if” for right?

I can see how this might be possible but does it actually work like this in practice? Is your k here representing “take k . sort”?

by dean177 7y ago
If you are running a sort them you will need to compare each of the elements at least once which will mean you have to evaluate the whole list right?

I wasn’t endorsing the essay or advocating for these hyper growth vc fuelled businesses, just pointing out that this checklist doesn’t apply to the kinds of businesses you were talking about if you accept this (common?) distinction between

Why would you expect the ocaml one to be shorter?
104.
by dean177 7y ago
It mentions that this is almost entirely due to interface files on ocaml’s part. They unfortunately introduce a fair amount of duplication.

You could fetch and cache data into local storage to prevent re-fetching. Depending on how you are set up you could have both apps loaded at once and display one or the other (perhaps lazily loafing the one you don’t need upfront)

We are not warming the earth slowly. We are heating the planet faster than it has been heated for as far back as we can measure. Rising sea levels will not only cause trillions in immediate damage, they will displace huge population centres

10 minutes? A strategy I have used is: - only lint the files that have changed - only apply lint rules that can be auto-fixed This usually takes less than a second (short enough that you can't really tell the difference) and the develo

I have been pretty interested in ReasonML / Ocaml lately, these puzzles are a great oppertunity to get to grips with the basics of a language.
