Nope, pure functions are referentially transparent. The key idea is that you can replace the function invocation with a value and it shouldn’t change the program. A regular static function could refer to a file, a database, or it could chan

I 100% agree with this. One of the best compliments I ever got (regarding programming) was from one of my principal engineers who said something along the lines of "your code reads like a story". He meant he could open a code fi

Carmageddon was a software renderer. Absolutely glorious game though!

by louthy 2y ago
Always thought the original software renderer looked much better. It didn’t have the bilinear filtering, so the textures didn’t look all smooth and ‘washed out’, which suited the environment more imho

What exactly do you think are so special about American made products? The only reason that America’s allies have bought them in the past is because of Pax Americana. That’s about to end if not has ended already. BAE Systems along with othe

Ask the people who tried to scale the Berlin wall before the collapse of the Iron Curtain. Oh, you can't, because they're dead. Shot. Because they were on the wrong side of the boundary.

The whole notion of Pax Americana, just like Pax Britannica before, all the way back to Pax Romana, is that peace (Pax) is in the interest of the dominant empire that enforces it. Why? Because the dominant empire that enforces it gets the
