Yes. I'm a broken record on this topic, but I largely stopped messing with J and K once I got decent at writing point-free Haskell. Verb trains are even more powerful with functors in the mix. <=< is already available, and once y

Cheers for the explanation. I suppose "modern" should be asterisked, since I was parroting posts that date back to the mid-00s. Things have probably changed considerably from then. I'm specifically targeting an Intel Atom, wh

I am unfamiliar with low-level workings like this, so forgive me if I'm talking out of my ass, but received wisdom from places like KVR Audio suggests that on modern machines, fixed point decimal math tends to be slower than just using

I don't know how up to date it is, but the author of this article claims that the combinator-based solution is among the fastest: https://willamette.edu/~fruehr/haskell/evolution.html?#combi...

Shitposting wasn't the best choice of words, sorry. I think you know what I'm getting at though. There are cheeky artists and those to whom cheekiness is the art. The latter cohort are just annoying trolls, but the former group ca

That's the shortcoming of every alternative protocol and "indie web" community I've come across. They only attract existing techies and have a weird sheen of forced kindness about them. If you're just chatting with

Even in the West I now have to walk with a break stick in my bag thanks to dumb cunts adopting pitbulls and letting them roam offleash. Nobody is willing to treat animals like animals any more. It's obscene.

I believe John Chowning discovered FM synthesis (basis of Yamaha DX family) via one of the MUSIC programs, but I don't have a link to the interview on hand. Here's another cultural footprint of MUSIC N though: https://y

Love it. Not being British nor 70 years old, I have a hard time zeroing in on the true musical DNA of northern soul. That is, if you heard a previously unknown track, could you clock it like you could with house vs techno? Maybe it's s

The feedback loop is too tight. The writing for these shows/movies is terrible because it's defensive; the authors were already giving clarifying interviews in their heads before they even put ink to paper. Nice to see the dogshit

Apologies, but my memory is hazy. The more I think about it, the more it might have been a video interview, but no luck zeroing in on it on Youtube. His points boiled down to: - Tape is a dead simple concept that's been around for ages

I've only ever made music with tape: cassettes and 1/4" reels. I'm not nostalgic or in search of any "lofi" sound (if recorded right, it shouldn't be that noisy anyway). I just really don't want to us

Don't like it. With the exception of my bank accounts, my digital presence is already guarded by security-through-inanity. The thought of somebody fucking with my unstarred, unfinished, unreadable learning project repos doesn't ke

I went with Tatung over Zojirushi because I couldn't find anything that wasn't coated in nonstick chemicals. All the Japanese ones are. Even the really fancy ceramic Tigers have a layer of other crap on top.

After suddenly experiencing heartburn symptoms after a round of antibiotics, talking with other sufferers, and doing some bro science research, it seems like there are two classes of people who are prescribed PPIs that may not need them. So

Maybe the author arrived at this topic in an idly curious manner and I wish him no ill will, but man, it sure is fucking obnoxious whenever this sort of inconsequential lawyering flares up among my real world colleagues. I think teams shoul

I benefited immensely from a homosocial environment, though in a snootier form of what you're describing. There's basically no incentive to be a cheeky little shit when there are no girls around to impress. I always thought it&#x2

It's more general than this, but in this example it's a chain of three functions, f, g, h, each of which can fail in the same way. The precise failure behavior is encoded in the types themselves, so there is no need to check for i

Funnily enough, languages with sufficiently advanced type systems can focus almost exclusively on the happy path thanks to functor/applicative/monad. -- It seems that this comment is controversial and I'm not sure why. I&#x27
