Hey I just tried this out. I dont see any difference with and without compact story mode. Is it working properly?

I'd agree it probably doesn't quite apply to this case, but there are similarities from what I've researched, and I think that description doesn't quite do it justice. First being that datomic is temporal with full on-d

I like remote work to an extent, but its not that simple, and whether programmers "need" something or what "can" happen is a really not the best point to argue, because for example you don't "need" anythin

Does anyone in their work find that they are able to employ data structures like this, and if so, what do you work on? I've almost always had to delegate all my state to a database using default indexes, etc., which is productive, yet

I wonder how much time he's invested to getting to the point where he's this productive.

When I see stuff like this and the author's previous artile, it reminds me of the overwhelming potential of scriptable systems and customizable open source software. But at the same time, trying to pursue these things has always been

There are ripple effects with everything, and yes technology always provides disruption, but it would be absurd to say that technology accomplished these things.

We’re getting nowhere with this. This entire thread was about STEM vs other majors, and you were singling out philosophy. You can’t just decouple yourself and your arguments from the context of the conversation and claim i’m straw-manning y

Black people and women in the US got the right to vote just in the past century. What about that says STEM to you?

by lame88 7y ago
Oh, and STEM is different? Let me try: math and physics aren't about understanding quantity and the universe; they are about memorizing equations and pretending you know them just in time for the test. Computer science is about more

Glad to hear that - I can share my perspective too. Even given my graduate computer science degree, I only apply what I learned in a very shallow way to my work, which has generally been apps of some sort or another, web mobile etc. For e

There is absolutely pressure to go to college, but there is hardly pressure to follow passions. If there was, then the two would be in conflict. The pressure is: don't follow your passions, go to college, major in STEM or "somet

This is either a low effort bait post or exactly the kind of bullshit tech-worship I've come to despise. There's more to life and learning than STEM and whatever rides the current economic wave.

Counterpoint: technology advances are devaluing co-location. The need for dense metropolises may decline noticeably in the next century. There's a lot of 21st century promises around this that have failed to deliver as quickly as expec

It's more complicated than "FP or not". Languages like Haskell isolate state and IO. But the mechanisms are there, and Haskell was intended to do it; it's just formalized and very strict. There are FP languages that don

I checked out this and the some of the author's other posts. A lot of complaints here in the thread are valid and pretty consistent through their articles. However even though the ideas are scattered and loose and they're trying t

True, I can see how in this case, at that time, it could be effective. But ironically, there seems to be a similar dogma surrounding FP these days - speaking even as a fan of the paradigm, with a perspective tempered by experience. I can’t

You're desscribing a very loosely defined and optimistic view of how things can and will play out. This is like the equivalent of seeing the early stages of bitcoin and deciding we should all ditch all current forms of money for crypt

But they don’t answer the question of the role schools play in social development. There is also the question of how to effectively test students outside a supervised exam - online makes cheating plenty easier. And last is how to replace c

I'm not familiar with Cloud Haskell, but I can attest that documentation and information availability in general have become a huge priority for me recently after getting burned by lack of it in recent years. This is actually very tri

Agreed - it certainly is rewarding in itself to get to the next level, but that's precisely it: the means become ends in themselves. I stopped using stuff like Arch Linux a while back for similar reasons.

“I mainly wanted to provoke people...” I hate this. I see it way too often. It’s either a cop-out to avoid having to own up to your arguments or its just poisonous rhetoric in the first place that contributes to partisan opinions, especia

What do you value? You can also make this argument to advocate ignoring web accessibility because its not a cost benefit tradeoff that is worth a single entity’s bottom line for the sake of the small percentage of people that are disabled.
