What about invalid arguments? What if someone calls: (random-elements -23 nil)? Should I write tests for those cases? The function already handles negatives by returning an empty list for any count less than one. This isn’t tested; but t

I don't drink coffee but my father has used a non-internet-enabled coffee maker to make himself coffee at the same time every morning, thereby giving him extra sleep, for many years. I'm not sure how the internet would improve on

Would Emacs' paredit be considered SDE? If so, that would be a huge counterpoint. Everyone I've talked to that's gotten up to speed with it has loved it.

I worked almost exclusively in python for about five years and loved significant whitespace. It was one of the things I missed most when working in other languages. Now I work primarily in Haskell which has significant whitespace with opt

Your examples are a good argument for types on the right, in my opinion... for the same reason the person you are replying to pointed out.

Can you point out an example or two the bracket style that I could take a look at? Thanks.

The opt-in vs opt-out nature is definitely key. As an example, if you write a small function to operate on a non-empty list and use it on a non-empty list in exactly one place, everything is fine in either language. But in Haskell if some

I never claimed that Clojure can't do meaningful refactoring, and in fact I acknowledged that Clojure gives you great tools for using your own brain to do refactoring. Clojure is my favorite dynamic language and I heartily recommend i

Having spent the last two years working professionally in Haskell after having spent the previous two years working professionally in Clojure, I'd disagree with this. Haskell is roughly infinitely better than Clojure for meaningful re

Not sure if it's quite the same thing but it's similar to Jevon's paradox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox

Depends on the jurisdiction but for example in Las Vegas ( http://www.gambling-law-us.com/State-Laws/Nevada/ ) I believe this would fall under NRS 465.070 numbers 2, 5, and/or 7.

How would you consider that anything less than manipulation?

I think maybe he's not saying that type classes themselves aren't composable but rather they interfere with the composability of more fundamental things like functions which are easier to compose in the absence of type class const

You don't consider it positive or you don't consider it obvious (or both)? ...and why not?

I'm not a statistician but as I understand it, in Bayesian terms, when you get some new piece of information you must update your beliefs to incorporate the new information. So you take your belief prior to the new information and inc

That doesn't make any sense since the worst programmers are negatively productive -- they cause more problems for the rest of the team than anything they produce could ever outweigh.
