Certainly there's little to no practical risk in this particular case, but that doesn't make the policy ok. It would really suck if accepting this signaled that it's ok to make such policies for closed-source software, for ex

You can have them if you can define Matrix as a data structure with a Monad instance. I don't know if there are any packages that do something like that. Maybe something roughly like this: data Matrix a = Matrix { matrixDimensi

Being very generic. One can define a very efficient array structure, define its Monad instance and be able to use it in comprehensions. The point is that comprehensions are not fixed to a particular data structure by the language, and can b

> only Erlang gets it right... [ X || X <- Xs, Xs <- Xss] I don't have much experience with Erlang, but that also seems wrong: 1> Xss = [[1]]. [[1]] 2> [ X || X <- Xs, Xs <- Xss]. * 1:13: variable &#x27

I'm not sure what to think of that number. Did you feel it was too small or too big at the time?

AFAIK, anything phones can do on a hardware level can be done on more open platforms. What could unlocking phones enable evil people to do? What's one of these valid points of the other side?

Are you missing an /s or are you saying that it shouldn't be done because it would enable e.g. use of radio hardware that goes against radio regulation? If you're really expressing concern, what do you think of e.g. modem mod

You're using Windows, right? I see it includes the space after the selected word. It doesn't make sense to me either. The blogpost refers to what happens on a Linux distro, though.

It's not really a Firefox thing. It works on everything on Linux as far as I know, emacs, terminals, libreoffice writer, etc.

How does that work? Do the creators now just chose whether or not to receive money? Or is the option to be paid from ads just completely gone? For channels that were receiving money for the ads prior to the change, did Google just decide to

That limit is not specific to `find`. It applies to the `exec` family of functions. There's no way around it, so it also applies to globbing, command substitution, etc. Also, it's not ARG_MAX arguments; it's ARG_MAX byte leng

The audio mixer is dependent on the speakers, not the other way around. The speakers should be able to handle anything the mixer is able to throw at it. If they aren't, that's fault on the speakers' part.
