Sorry on the late reply, but your URL fails and I'm not sure I follow what you're talking about. I enjoyed Elm quite a bit @ version 0.16, then they got rid of signals and forced everyone to use TEA. To say that they aren't f

I mean I get your point, but just because there's other snake oil salesmen doesn't make the practice any less wrong.

Why, because they are both food? Lentils and almost all plant proteins are not complete proteins.

> I guess I've got a lot of that enzyme. ;) (which is nice) You can't make an assumption like that, you have no evidence and there's many possibilities.

I realise you said 'perhaps' but I have to comment on how much I dislike this kind of backwards reasoning. I used to compete in bodybuilding, and I heard arguments like this all the time. "I'm not making progress, I must

My guess would've been CYP3A4, but you could be right. I found a study of caffeine producing grapefruit-like inhibitory effects on some people https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5625156/

I don't see the connection that brought that up? Lentils are an incomplete source of protein, unlike animal proteins. They don't even have similar ratios of macro nutrients. It's a complete non-sequitur.

They aren't even close, shrimp have actual soft flesh and tissue. The only characteristic I can really see them sharing is they have an exoskeleton.

There's so much unanswered here, does it handle parametric polymorphism? Does it allow sum/product types? Is there inference? Can you bound generic types? IMO it would be a complete waste of time to add a type system that only pre

Lots of people use RLS, and AFAIK that's created by folks working at mozilla, though no doubt now it's mostly a community effort.

So it's getting less popular over time (assuming the ranking is accurate)? That's not very felicitous.

Having been around the Rust community for a few years, I'm a bit tired of -rs and rust names. I feel like the postfix is something languages lose the bigger they get, I hope this happens to rust too.

Is it fair to say that it runs in parallel if only one thread may run at a time? Isn't that concurrent, but not parallel?

Inferred is very different from dynamic.

If your type system only prevents trivial errors then it's not sufficiently 'strong'.
649.
by leshow 8y ago
With a proper type system you can often trade away the verbosity through type inference. Still, I'd argue that even if you couldn't, the extra 'verbosity' you take on from writing types in a language with a strong type s

Type erasure on it's own isn't necessarily a bad thing, Haskell implements type erasure also.

by leshow 8y ago
Tangentially, do you know why Rust never included an Either type? We have Result, which is great, but Either is useful for more things than errors (though that seems to be it's main use).

I was under the impression that Ocaml was single threaded? How is it that they have type checker that runs in parallel?
653.
by leshow 8y ago
They have a single process which manages IO, you communicate w/ it by passing messages. There is never any contention because it's never shared. Of course, there are trade-offs involved with this decision, but it's a really n

There's not really a huge variation in pay there. But all the same, why do you think we don't see discussion about striving for equality in these other male dominated positions?
656.
by leshow 8y ago
Don't they pay about as much as the male dominated jobs? brickmason, drywall installation, crane operator, roofer, etc All of these jobs have 95%+ males. I can't imagine they pay very well. That's genuinely a question, not tr

We have no evidence that people do think that though. I have never heard that women are 'weaker' in computer science than men. My guess is most people think that competence in computer science is independent of sex. If you'

I wonder how many men get invited to the inverse 'girls night' also.

Thanks for the explanation! If it functions similarly to strings, which are also immutable, when you do any type of operation it causes a reallocation?

IMO Go is in Go's way if becoming the next Java.
