A lot of things that are “standard English” are not obvious, and not everyone has English as a first language.

Of course teaching FP ideas to traditional-javascript devs is going to be tricky, but that’s less a React complexity problem as it is a familiarity problem. If everyone came from a purescript/fp background the story would be different.

It took me a minute to figure out if they were talking about a biosafety problem or a labour safety problem. Maybe that’s just me.

Not to diminish the severity of the situation, but I believe this is a figure of speech… In case that wasn’t clear.

Presumably the commenter read the article and is expressing his disagreement with the article’s second sentence.

> Simplicity (explicitly control when things update) I’m not saying this is wrong, but it’s a very very weird notion of simplicity. It reminds me a bit of how C++ engineers argue that for loops are simpler than comprehensions.

There are languages much better suited for DSLs though.

There are some programming language journals that people like to dismiss as “academic”. But “academic” is what I value here.

> However, it will take 10x the time to write, be less flexible, and harder to understand. Not in my experience: only in the usual ramp-up period in the first few months.

This article feels like someone is defending their language. And that doesn’t bother me, but I don’t value that. I don’t care about what’s popular or what feels most familiar. What I want is a dispassionate discussion of how different langu

Where does he say he was being deceptive? I reject both your premise and your interpretation: you either don’t remember well or didn’t understand anything.

Where is the lie?

You continue to willfully interpret these words as if they reflect malice or deception, even after receiving a very simple explanation. You’re doing it on purpose at this point.
135.
by epgui 10mo ago
You’re reading malice or deception where there is none, and are being very selective in your context window. You want to allocate resources to where they will have the biggest impact, and you want to ensure you don’t run out of resources fo

Vitamins A, D, E and K can be overdosed… But for vitamin D to be toxic you would have to veer quite far from the posology.

This article aside, there are a number of very well established benefits of vitamin D. I think “mixed evidence of small limited effect” is not a phrase that is reflective of current knowledge.

> That’s a deliberate tradeoff. In my experience, while this line is often repeated, in practice it’s rarely really a “deliberate” tradeoff. Rather it’s mostly accidental.

It’s not inherently “biased” to go one way or another. Bias is when you go one way even when the evidence should tilt you slightly the other way.

This seems like a middle ground fallacy disaster waiting to happen.

How can you reasonably argue that this is anything but revolting? I don’t see what you’re getting at.

I don’t have any problem with Iranians. If you’re meaning to defend the regime you’re on the wrong side of History my friend.

Currently as a Canadian there are probably only four or five countries I really do not want to travel to. In no particular order: North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and the United States.

I ported the clojure bond library over to python. It’s not quite as neat as the original, but IMO the pseudo-FP style is much more ergonomic. https://github.com/epgui/pybond

In practice when people do this, 99.9% of the time it leads to data continuity issues which makes the old data essentially unusable for most important things.

Yes, in a sense... but that doesn't mean amyloid-beta is an irrelevant therapeutic target. It's a bit more complicated.

I don’t know, apparently Tesla’s battery deployment in Australia paid for itself really quickly as one possible counter-example.
