I feel like the goals are framed incorrectly relative to the context. What's most important is not that B is above C, and A is above B, but that C is on the bottom. If framed that way, you can work backwards from the base case.

I do buy the golden rule as the only unarguably reasonable philosophical principle (I hold it pretty highly as an essential combination of rationality and empathy), I'm just arguing for the sake of it. The reason I consider humans the

This is the crux of the issue. What makes one moral framework "virtuous" and one not? It could be considered virtuous to ensure the dominance of the most competitive species (us in this case). Even if one, for the most part, cares

It's better than nothing for the non-expert users who don't know it's worse than other options available right now. Pretty much the only worthy use case for it

Is executable size not a good reason? Also, I don't know how you think there's a noticeable difference of readability between minified asm.js and textual wasm for the average person. It might be more difficult for a programmer to

Yeah, if we want latency added to literally every action... I understand that what you're saying is a possibility, but I sure hope it doesn't come to pass.

I'm generally on top of my idiom game, but I didn't know about this one. Thanks for pointing it out, if nothing else for satisfying a curiosity I didn't know I had.

I've been 100% on board with this kind of thing. Help people who lack a sense of purpose to contribute towards maintaining the things that make their lives better. Infrastructure is exactly the kind of area that needs bodies thrown at

That 200k extra means 2 years of not having to work, whether it's now or some time in the future. Not having to work means having more time to spend on myself and with people whose company I enjoy. Money is literally exchangeable for t

I'm with you on that, and it's the reason at my job we aren't bending over backwards for compatibility. We don't support IE. It's not _really_ a problem, but it could lose you users. How many, I don't know. Whe

I'm pretty sure that attack you describe is mentioned in literature as essentially undefeatable. I really wish I could remember exactly what the name of it was; the gist is, there has to be a first compiler somewhere. If at any point i

4% is still a decent portion of the market, and likely contains a more desirable market demographic than those that are on IE (depending on your product, obviously). I'm not saying it's really important, but any potential users ga

Hah, I'm not a bleeding heart or anything but that quote is both hilarious and (sadly) accurate.

Finally got around to reading that paper after seeing your comment. What a great piece! The logic was clearly laid out and simple to follow. I'll have to read through the proof in the appendix later.

Are the complaints about lack of generics really a minority thing? Writing separate functions to sort different types just strikes me as ridiculous. EDIT: My original tone was a bit nasty in retrospect. Did a little research and while I sti

That's an issue when there's no type checking, but a lot of languages with currying by default have type systems

Not for me, at least. I would imagine that's not the case for most people, but then again I've found my judgment to be less than 100% accurate (shocking, I know).

Let's say you have a validation function that matches a string with a given regex, and you need to use that same logic in several places, using a different regex. Currying allows you to write something like this: validate :: Regex -&gt

Looked at some of the challenges, they seem fun! Hopefully I'll get around to tackling one/some of these.
