Were you using the ocamlopt compiler? By default, ocaml runs in a VM, but few people figure that out because it is not screaming its name all the time like a pokemon (looking at you JVM/CLR). But ocaml can be compiled to machine code w

`let` defines a value. Some values are "plain old values", some are functions. The syntax is `let <constantname> <parameters> = <value> in <expression>;;` where `expression` can also have `let` bindings. So

I have seen this quite often. I blame it on the obsession with UML along with the limitations of UML. I/E in UML every one draws boxes that have arrows to other boxes, but no one draws boxes that have boxes inside them. Instead, you dr

TCO stands for "TAIL call optimization". It will obviously not save your arse if the call is not in the tail of the function, exactly the same as "python generators will not help you if you are doing C++".

So a tree is easier to do recursing vs iterating in some cases, whereas in other cases recursion and iteration have roughly the same level of complexity. Kinda shows that recursive data structures are usually better dealt with recursion. Wo

Recursion deals with recursive data structures, and iteration deals with "plain old" data structures. When you use one to process the other, you get into trouble. For example, you need to manage a stack to do iteration on your bin

mm/dd/yyyy is cursed. You parse it naively with momentjs, and some times it parses (wrong), other times it doesn't parse. It's the reason our codebase is filled with momentAmerican, parseDateAmerican and parseDatetimeAme

> ho, he, yo, yo_, yo__, yo___, ... yo__________, ha Is that some kind of meme I don't understand? I mean, it kinda looks like all the combinations of a bunch of operators that can be combined.

18 quintillion grains of rice? That is not going to happen. Just for reference, 18 quintillion grains of rice is roughly 500 times the global production of rice in 2022.

Scroll positions of lists, toggleable widget status, partial form fills. You say all of that needs to be stored in the server? That is how you make a big server crawl with just 100 users, regardless of the programming language of the backen

You are obviously affected by this ailment called "science-based critical thinking". It is bad (for business) so you should consult an astrologist or a zen furniture arranger to seek remediation.

"DB" already means 25 pins, so well, it's quite hard to both have 25 and 9 pins at the same time. That is still pedantically different from a DB-25 of which we ripped out pins until it had only nine. The result would be &quot

So the XOR initial trick is: use a hash to partition the data into batches so that each batch has up to 1 missing element. Can't we use this again? I mean: 1. Partition the data so that some batches have up to 1 missing element. 2. Rec

It can be better. On slop detection, shadowban the offender and have it discuss with two AI "maintainers", and after 30 messages go and reveal the ruse. Then ban.
