Never owned a "server" per say, but I used to build and sell computers in highschool, right out of my locker or the back of my rusted-out Chevy. Also bought and resold air guns and pellets out of my locker too, I was cyberpunk bef

I found that book in a library as a kid -- or maybe a similar one, it's hard to remember now. I do recall typing in long listings from the book and then trying to "fix" the compile and runtime errors by randomly trying things

Thanks for the idea. There's something similar in my city that I was thinking of getting in touch with as well.

Ideas of how to intercept "scrapped" machines of this nature? I'd love to have a hobby of installing newbie-friendly Linux distros on machines like this and giving them away. Come to think of it, I know some folks who run IT

I used to be concerned with stuff like this, and then I almost died several times and it all seems so inane. Interestingly, now that I care less about what I should do and a lot more about what I want to do, those good achievements come a l

In case it's useful: my mother is almost 80 and she uses Zorin just fine.

We used `talk` all the time in our university Solaris labs when I was there from 2000-2005. Mostly insults, but it was fun.

I've stopped trying to make analogies between software development and other crafts. It takes more effort and care to talk about issues directly, but anything that comes out of the discussion feels a lot more actionable. I've cons

You always have to /s here. I figure there are enough people reading HN who have different backgrounds in how they understand English that it's necessary. Also important to label jokes.

I think of OCaml like a "kitchen sink" language, much like Scala. The reference ML implementations like SML and Jersey seem to be much more limited in scope, and are nice for learning / getting a feel for the original intenti

What are HNs policies around tongue-in-cheek comments?
833.
by debo_ 3y ago
Yeah. I don't find it to be a problem either, but the parent does and I can see where they are coming from. Even Java has checked exceptions.
834.
by debo_ 3y ago
In OCaml the type checker won't force you to handle exceptions (from what I remember.) See e.g. https://ocaml.org/docs/error-handling#exceptions

I don't think it's the functional part of ML that tickles them. I think it's the thoroughness of the type inference and type checking.
836.
by debo_ 3y ago
True. In this case the author is speaking specifically about OCaml, which is quite comfortable to write imperatively. I think the thing that tickles most people about Rust is the thoroughness of the type inference and type checking, which o

I think about it the other way; Rust is an ML with a borrow checker. Most of the stuff I hear people gushing about in Rust is IMO them experiencing what's it's like to write ML.

It was a joke. I got tired of labelling jokes, but this is the outcome.
