I can't really think of a way in which I'd consider the monadic version better-or-equal than the "traditional approach". Except that maaaaybe ``` ageNext = age.transform([] (const int age) { return age + 1; }); ``` if eq

The mathematics of this seem sound. The ideological overhead ("cooperation is good"), however, seems wrong. The same outcome that the author achieves with pooling in a group can be achieved by an individual just splitting their we

I understand the argument. The problem with this is just that it requires people who sacrifice their critical thinking abilities to an ideology in order to end up with a mass of people who stand so close to each other that they are best des

I find it easy enough to imagine a type of people that would not engage in such barbaric actions under any circumstances. Say a group of 10000 physicist assembling to discuss quantum physics. But, sure, if you can't change the type of

The common denominator amongst these causes would seem to be that people turn off their critical thinking abilities and value a commitment to some ideology more than being smart about things. I thought that was obvious, so I used the phrase

Contains some interesting observations. And sure, it makes sense to think about the design of such events. But to claim that "hooliganism", "youth culture", and "religious fanaticism" have nothing to do with cr

Can someone explain what this does under the hood? Did find the text on their website very helpful. (Also, I don't know Rust)

With asyncio you can run multiple servers/clients/whatever in the same event-loop/thread/process already. Although, I don't understand what this library does at all, I don't think in the asyncio case you would

Heh, fair point regarding the "idea of fun". Disagree, though, that you have to enjoy the feeling of banging your head against hard problems (no one does). You just have believe that getting through it will make you better off eve

I don't think I was expressing much of an attitude in my comment. Just a factual statement that seeks to explain why the intervention is successful even though better alternatives clearly exist. I don't think water should be flour

Understood. I'm not arguing against providing housing for the homeless (although I'm also not sure I'd argue for it). My point is more that (as with everything else) one can look at "strongly rising rents" as either

If everyone in a country feels valuable, at least some people in such a country must be delusional.

Countries with globally low crimes rates are racially homogeneous. (For the liberals: This doesn't mean that racially homogeneity implies low crime rates, of course.)

I can see why people would think the second point is "poor taste" (although I'm not sure if I agree), but definitely don't see why the first would be "questionable".

I think the problem is when people are incapable of grappling with their demons even in the privacy of their own homes. If given a place to stay, many people _choose_ to use it for non-productive things. Surely, exploding housing prices mak

Looking at diffs on the command-line is cute and all, but for anything substantial I doubt this will ever be as good as using a proper GUI interface. I like "meld". You have to install it, then run git config --global alias.me

a) Either produce and consume oil or don't. If you do, you have to accept the ecological impact and you can't push a story about how your country is morally superior. Sorry, you have to find something else on the basis of which yo
