So what exactly constitutes an error then? Are then people legally held responsible if gas prices were accidentally set a few pennies below the typical market value? How can someone prove an error like this? Otherwise you could go around se

Thanks, I think we find ourselves in the same boat. To everyone else - maybe I should have asked a better question, but it's quite clear to me now that people are in fact using this in production. That's great. My only question no

I understand there exists .net core and mono. I'll give them mono. My problem is I haven't seen a single example of a practical application written in .net core or a company that uses it, everything is .net framework. There just a

Can someone please explain to me how you can use F# without each aspect of the development process being a Microsoft technology? Not to be rude, I just honestly want to know. There is quite a bit of hype around C#, F#. But every time there

I agree that the idea of "simplicity" can become convoluted. But some of his specific examples I strongly disagree with. Like others are saying, it comes a lot from your worldview on programming. Coming from someone who was involv

You're right. This sentence and the general syntax of the language mislead me > Genericity means that functions do not have to declare argument and return value types, which makes them highly reusable. Thanks for being kind about po

I love the generic function aspect of this, where there aren't necessarily specific inputs or outputs. This will make code reusable by factors. A simple use being not needing to define both `toRadians` and `toDegrees`, just definite th

Should we call PANDAS a database?

by kyleperik 8y ago
Oh I see I misunderstood then. But still, how is this a database? Without looking into it too much it seems that would either be an ORM or simply state.

I don't understand how this is useful. The purpose of functional programming isn't to make everything immutable, but to use immutability to prevent unnecessary change of state which can result in flaky code. So where's the us

"Functional Database" is contradictory. Honestly this sounds like a bunch of buzzwords concatenated together. Is there an example or a purpose for this?

I live in the USA Have you tried roasted a chicken? A whole chicken costs $6. Feeds 2 with leftovers, the bones can be used for broth, which can make lots of things, especially soup. The leftover meat is great for many things, like fried wi

We don't eat out. We buy food on sale. We don't eat already prepared meals. We have a garden. I think many people take for granted that we can live so well here, and buy whatever looks good, and not planning ahead of time. But hon

Honestly I don't think marketing is a problem. In fact I have already heard of this. I think it's a super cool idea. But there's no way I can justify to myself, much less my wife to carve out $30 of my budget for candy every

Honestly I'll be happy no matter how this turns out. If this deters developers as a result, it should open up more potential for new platforms. If it does great, then open source as a community will continue to grow and be backed up by

So why isn't there anything about teaching fairness in statistics? To sport the classic over simplification, ML is just glorified curve fitting. But in reality, it's not like we created a special new species with intelligence that

If you use a nice text editor, whitespace shouldn't be an issue. Even with any other language, you would want to show them how and why to indent. If it becomes an issue, they may be writing code that's too complicated. In other wo

I think this is a misunderstanding, you're referring to the way you can use art within society and the different cultural things we do. I should have been more specific, I think abstract art is truly art for it's own sake, being m

Seems like art for the sake of art has become all art is these days, and honestly I don't see much to it. Art in and of itself is pretty useless, but generally I think people are quick to make political or deeply emotional assumptions

I can see how for some this might be necessary for sure, but for me I don't use much more than termux, browsing and texting. To me I hope they rely on porting Linux apps and getting the most of that, because I know how much time has be

Honestly I feel like we shouldn't be down voting opposing opinions. Those should be the ones rising to the top, because that's the best way to cross reference, and get a different perspective. I think the only things that should s

You can track what comes and goes on your network, if chrome sends information about random pages back snoop on, then I think that quite certainly would have been whistleblown by now. Sending a webpage ourselves directly to google is a comp

const fOne = fIncrement(zero); const fTwo = fIncrement(one); const fThree = fIncrement(two); // And so on… Seems like this implies that each number relies on the previous. A bit confusing?

I disagree with the notion that functional programs must never contain side effects. I think we should just be reasonable and only produce side effects when explicit, and never mix side effect code with data processing. We shouldn't ha

Thank you for the thorough explanation. Still seems odd, as markdown by definition isn't really meant to be displayed in a terminal. Markup: "the process or result of correcting text in preparation for printing." This further

Why is this getting down voted? I'm giving a valid point, and no one seems to have a rebuttal. Why would they make this?

I don't understand the usefulness of Microsoft investing time in writing a built in half finished markdown rendering engine. With Linux these things just pop up and get popular as people get used to them. Feels like Microsoft is trying
