Monads seem to be useful for ansync code and error handling. I hate that monads get all the press when ADTs are the real winner when it comes to FP.

Hacker news is a social network too. I think it's unfair to demonize young people's memes, it's just different. I've learnt a lot from young people's take on things than some old bitter oldfag.

It's a toxic place. Try getting the team lead fired, gotta play fire with fire, but then you will have to assume more responsibility. If you don't want that leave immediately.

I agree with the premise or at least used to agree that religions are bad and people need to move away from them ... but by force? That is definitely inhuman. Reading about this stuff is making me go WTF! On a side note, I consider it deepl

Honest question ... Is that what the govt wants ... change your religion and you walk free? Why not change then? Are there people who have changed?

For those who have read this, what are the problems with this approach? Environmental damage is the single most horrible problem with the capitalist way of things. From a legislative point of view, I think if every company was forced to rec

Usenet is probably the most decentralized medium out there. If I am not mistaken, this how the protocol worked ... data was posted to one server, then every other server replicated the data for each client to consume. Typically the server h

Some random thoughts on centralization vs decentralization. In theory, IPv6 allows every human, pet, alien and robot to have an address. Each address can host let's say the following services 1. info - dns 2. data transfer - ftp/h
