Yes. He'd commit code once a week or so, and then make excuses on why he couldn't do more. They're fire him after a couple months, and by then, he'd have gotten the money.

It's been that way for a long time. I remember when some non-techie friends were opining at the bar on what having a @gmail.com vs a @aol.com email said about a person, circa 2006. At the time, I found it completely surprising that it

Anyone know if editing a prolly tree requires reconstructing the entire tree from the leaves again? All the examples I've ever seen in a wild reconstruct from the bottom up. Presumably, you can leave the untouched leaves intact, and th

No. I have no idea. It's an honest question how people managed to find the money to buy it back.

How did she get the money to buy it back? I understand it’s from the non-profit, but how did they get the money?

Because Algebraic Effects are unfamiliar, we explain a part of it with something that's familiar to most developers. This is just like the story of the blind men with the elephant. The elephant (algebraic effects) is a whole other diff

My understanding is that monads can only be composed in specific orders or not at all without monad transformers. The "algebraic" part of algebraic effects is that the effects also come with implicit compositional rules that say h

A weak form of algebraic effects are already very common: React hooks. React hooks are different from full-blown algebraic effects in a couple ways: - The handler for the hooks are already implemented for you, and you can't swap it out

Yes. Multishot resumption for algebraic effects is implemented with delimited continuations.

by iamwil 1y ago
Full blown algebraic effects are multi-shot, meaning you can resume from the same raised effect multiple times. Generators can only resume from a point in the execution a single time. But yes, you can implement single-shot effects with gene

It's mistaken that you don't need a new language to implement full-blown algebraic effects. Full-blown algebraic effects are multi-shot, meaning that you can "resume the thrown exception" multiple times. The only way to
