   Random example from a popular project: def bimap[C, X[_, _], D](g: Bijection[C, D])(implicit F: Bifunctor[X], evF: F[B] =:= Id[B], evG: G[A] =:= Id[A]): Bijection[X[A, C], X[B, D]] = bijection( F.bimap(_)(to(_), g.t

   How about C? Or a language with meta characters in it, such as C++? Obviously, these two languages are popular now so they are the first hit but you can bet in the early days of the web, it was a bit different. I understand your point, thou

   I used to be absolutely in love with my Amiga(s) back in the days but I'm a bit puzzled: what is the point of this? Whenever nostalgia strikes, I fire up UAE (or whatever the best emulator is at the moment), run a few games and after a

   That's the whole point: employee agreements do not suppress free speech. It's legal nonsense to claim that they do.

   That's fair. There are a few pros, though, one of which being that JetBrains is fully behind Android, and as a consequence, the Kotlin runtime is very small. Do you know how many methods Groovy's is? I think you will also find out

    > What defines "happiness" and welfare is itself heavily rooted on morality, so that statement is self-contradictory. Hell, the idea in itself that "happiness" is something to strive for is a moral concept. And while

    You're being short sighted: I find the endeavor of writing a program to solve sudoku much more intellectually interesting and challenging than solving each grid manually.

    Simple ballistics. The probe is still subject to gravity and it can receive trajectory adjustments as needed. It's not like it was launched ten years ago and then it was on its own: it's been piloted remotely from the Earth as nec

    That's not news, Apple allows a lot of languages to run on their OS now. What matters is: how extensive is the support for this language on iOS? As far as this app shows, the support for Go looks very primitive and not really applicabl

    Singletons are useful and wide spread concepts. What is an anti pattern is implementing them in a way that's not thread safe (which is made worse if your singleton is mutable). Letting DI frameworks handle your singletons is the best w
