Your comment doesn't make any sense. Also: > A language that forbids to talk about its own grammatical structures That's just not the case, and it's not what is being claimed here.

> That can't actually be true in practice can it? These are things running on a computer, a machine, and not paper. It's true for all practical purposes. Humans are just running on protein, lipids and sugars, and these are far

That's not a violation of the conservation of energy, and the invariant isn't broken.

Yes, but that seems completely irrelevant with respect to the parent comment.

On the face of it, that's absolutely insane.

I mean this is the Journal of Functional Programming... That being said, I wish more people had your response. Curiosity and openness are beautiful things.

I think you vastly underestimate the complexity of metal chemistry.

Why don’t we just wait to see how things play out before making that kind of judgment? Production has barely started to ramp.

I wasn't thinking about philosophers in particular, but rather about mathematicians and scientists.

Python is not fundamentally any easier to use or to learn than something like Haskell or Clojure or Racket or Scheme (I'd argue the contrary) though. It's only true in practice out of sociohistorical accident, because your colle

I think it will likely work well for certain categories or topics, but will likely stray very far from truth for medical or nutritional topics.

It can be (and is) both at the same time.

This was not a pump and dump, it was merely poor performance.

My complaint to this sort of complaint is it presumes that scientists are unaware of a problem that so many people seem to be aware of. There’s no reason to not consider psychology/sociology/etc real sciences without air quotes.

What are you talking about?

I think “never use X” is probably a bit far. But personally I can’t really think of a situation where I would rather have an ORM. I used to use them all the time. When I started doing pure FP I just realized I just didn’t really need my old

I mean if you’re thinking about the big picture, chronic inflammation increases cancer risk even more. For corticosteroids, I agree… But that’s not supposed to be used long term and is a bit of an emergency resort.

I think this is the future, for better and for worse. Functional governments are already the ultimate authority on personal identity.

Which drugs are you talking about? Pretty much all the biologics for CD have amazingly positive safety profiles…

That’s wishful thinking. Please don’t go off your IBD meds or you will regret it some day.

by epgui 3y ago
I highly doubt that this would obviate the need for biologics, but I think it would probably work very well in combination.

Wouldn't it be easier to just go take a look at the wiki article? Or even to type "is the big bang an explosion" into your search bar?

I really don't understand what would make someone say that Julia is lispy. People say that about R as well, but I don't see that either. To me, lisp is many things, but the first thing it is is s-expressions. Most/many langua

I'm not sure if we know that the universe is infinitely large. I do know[1] that: - it's larger than we will ever be able to know or observe (ie.: the observable universe is smaller than "all of the universe"... although

You're so lost I'm not sure where to start. Not that you really deserve help, with that attitude...
