The funny thing is that I had found the hard one but not the easier one.

Read an article posted on HN were they said it is static electricity that allows ticks to "jump" onto their host. Looks like it is used by a insects in various ways.

And then LoL: https://letoverlambda.com/ I started to read the book years ago but it was too wild for me. I should give it another try. One of the so many things I have to read.

The "desktop particle accelerator" is excellent. I wondered what?? Clicked on the link and then yes indeed didn't think of it :-) Love xkcd and his what-ifs.

Note that C + Cx + ... would have also worked. So why the 1? Just simplicity?

IMO, because it gives you a way to know if a program will terminate or not. If it consists of 5 states and goes beyond 47176870 steps of execution, then it will never halt. However, we are currently limited to 1 to 5 states Turing programs.

Is this Common Lisp? `mapcar` makes me think of it but I do not know about `flow`.

"caca" in french means "shit". It is the common word for "shit" used by kids, the other one being "merde" (more vulgar).

Good tutorial I think and I also appreciated reading the beginning of https://wiki.haskell.org/All_About_Monads and watching "Don't fear the Monad" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhuHCtR3xq8

I would learn Elixir instead (unless you want to specifically learn Erlang) as it is a sort of a more modern Erlang and you get access to all Erlang ecosystem for free. Years ago, I switched a codebase from Erlang to Elixir and it was a bre

Surprised not seeing a reference to the book "Ultra-Processed People: The Science Behind Food That Isn't Food" by "Chris van Tulleken". The article looks like it comes straight from the book.

I really enjoyed the video "Composition Intuition" by Conor Hoekstra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj8jxYS-hi4

Or his Twitch videos. That he starts writing immediately and that we're able to watch the process is great. Moreover the tone is friendly and funny.

Reminds me that typically I prefer smelling wine that tasting it and of course than swallowing it. I often find a wine very good by smelling it and am disappointed when I taste it. Of course it also depends on the wine. I mean on average.

In particular, I find the closure property of SQL very helpful and always think in terms of queries gettings tables and producing tables (derived most of the time). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(mathematics)

IMO It is point free even if the syntax is not as nice as Haskell. Same as foo . bar . baz

Sorry to be that guy :-) The `introduction.prql` example on the playground gives an idea of the better readability of PRQL vs SQL and your small example an idea of the speed you may gain from writing PRQL vs SQL. It is interesting. Indeed,

Maybe. I already think in terms of transformations (relational algebra and its closure property) when I write SQL and use a lot of CTEs. But I guess the functional way might help people see what's going on.

by lkuty 3y ago
I don't understand the need for libraries that abstract away SQL when you could just write SQL directly and have full access to the power of the language which is quite rich (recursive CTE, windowing, ... aka Modern SQL). You could als
