I don't know almost anything about Haskell (tried to learn it some years ago but never pass form the basics). Yet from what I'm seeing we are only calling R functions from Haskell. I'm probably missing something on the explan

This is really nice. Does it allow to work on multi file documents? i.e. when wiring a big document like a thesis, it's nice to have the chapters divided by different files.

Seriously, the complete hypocrisy of your comment is too big to actually be true. So, we are a bunch of xenophobes because we are concerned about people that clearly have social norms that are against our most basic principles of freedom ar

Oh yes, they are westernised into 36% of them (the young ones, the ones that mostly were already born here) thinking that whoever leaves the religion of Islam should be killed. Geez, I seriously wonder what is your concept of NOT westernise

And if you go back far enough you can also talk about the crusades, the Romans invading Africa, the Greeks invading the middle east... and well, I don't know, you can certainly come up with more ideas. Looks like we still have about 20

Yes, yes, if you nitpick enough you can bypass all obstacles, like: 1-The fact these are people just arriving Europe, they aren't westernised by any means. 2-The fact that the vast majority of Muslims living in other European countries

So, migrants are not a good sample of the population of the country they originate from. They are special in some way and by taking a 3000 Km journey trough Africa they are already Westernised even before setting foot in Europe. Makes perfe

Well, the term refugees is being used too much in this question. There are many refugees, but there are also many economic migrants amongst them. Receiving the war refugees is certainly different from receiving the economic migrants and we

Assange was not particularly afraid of the outcome of the rape allegations. He was afraid of Sweden extraditing him to the USA.

That doesn't stick because Sweden has refused to interview him in the UK like Assange asked them to do it before he asked Ecuador for asylum. Instead, at the time, Sweden asked UK for his extradition back to Sweden.

Well, because they usually lack coherence in their reasoning. It's not fun to argue with someone that shouts equality when it suits them, and then are willing to accept an all world of specially tailored laws that specifically benefit
