Yeah, I'm not really a haskeller, but this is not a flaw at all. Some standard functions that used to operate specifically on lists now operate on anything that is "Foldable"... including lists. It makes the learning curve

I didn't get why the savings are supposed to devalue. The elder care costs for the super-rich is a drop in the bucket for them, and they can and will still use the rest of their wealth to pay poorer people (and robots) to generate them

Your intelligent merge tool has access to the file history. If one user modifies a layer, and the other one squashes them down, in the merge you probably want to apply the changes in that order, even if it's out-of-order chronological

Is that really inherent to the data, or a case of useful merge plug-ins just not having been written yet for the proprietary file formats of big closed source apps? Source code doesn't ~really merge all that well either; there's j

Their goal is to maximize income, not fill seats. If it was the last flight they'd ever fly, you'd expect the price of an empty seat to converge to zero (or well, the cost of the fuel to lift a person and their baggage above the c

@jMyles, sadly, "oppressive language" is probably as jargony as "NVC" and "Active listening" are for most people. If you aren't aware that a cultural clique has changed a few characters in a common phrase

This sounds like a textbook candidate for superoptimization.

I watched the Linux.conf.au 2015 video to get a more detailed overview of meson. I think the most interesting feature is that it at least partially tries to address the problem of building library dependencies, although I don't get th

Are compiler features to support writing something like libeigen still on the roadmap? rust is IMHO a bit of a non-starter for many engineering fields until it has a really good story for array math.

I really, really, don't get the whole "implement everything using web technologies" thing. As an outsider from that dev ecosystem it looks like the youtube videos you see of people implementing electronic circuits in Minecraf

We are part of a similar subscription based system here in Belgium. Prices are somewhere between supermarket normal and organic. Mostly local, but some stuff is shipped in when the local crops really suck. Indeed forces you to learn to c

Mozilla could make a rustphone where apps run 10X as fast as all that webby crap, never crash, and don't force the user into frequent hardware upgrades just to keep the UI responsive. Make smartphones that are as reliable as dumbphones

I think they should have just chosen some new unique name. "Genuino" is just baking the memory of this schism into their new brand, and comes off as a blatant legal manoeuvre rather than taking the high road and starting over wit

You might be pleasantly surprised to learn that python by default caches the parsing results between runs. If it makes you feel better, you can think of it as ~partially compiled :) But there is an inherent trade-off between having a lot o

The makani team is serious business. They keep building larger and larger prototypes and are nailing their predicted power curve every time. They have internal expertise to build (almost) everything in house, and have already demonstrated a
