I've hit this before and facepalmed when I realised what they had done. Records were supposed to work more like immutable product-types in F# and other functional languages, but with this approach it can't be seen as anything oth

So, just be clear, your position is “fuck the children as long as US tech companies are making shit loads of money”? Should society just be about the accumulation of wealth and no other human needs considered? Or, have I misunderstood your

IANAL but there appears to be an agreement between the UK and Germany. Not sure if it’s just criminal cooperation, or whether extradition is part of that: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-mu

I realise that, I’m just speculating on when the effect emerges. Whether it’s because of changes in the cones (which are the tips of nuerons) or a later emergent property.

Or you travel to a 3rd country that has the same law and an extradition treaty with the UK. Or, you travel to the UK! It’s a pretty popular destination and Heathrow is a major European hub. It would be easy to get caught out. The law may we

I wonder how much of this is ‘seeing’ and how much is emergent in the brain due to the drug. I suspect the latter, but that’s just opinion.

True! (Although that requires an allocation) The technique works best for encoding higher-kinded traits and, as you say, Monoid doesn’t need any of that, but it was an easy way to introduce the ideas.

Keep moving those goalposts! Look, you have the right to believe whatever you want, but making every single discussion you have on here about how much you hate trans people is not really something I want to get involved with. Good day.

Of course, it doesn't help anyone to generalise. Europe has a wide demographic. But, one thing that doesn't happen is its attitude to sex affecting worldwide commerce or other worldwide issues. Here in the UK religion and sex ar

Not arguing against that at all. It is a function of the state. My issue was purely about the emotive language of “deep state”, which is used (in my experience) to delegitimise all aspects of the state. The legacy of the Post Office having

‘Leading’ is still a bit of a stretch. It’s still relatively niche in industry. It’s in the ascendant for sure, but there’s a ways to go yet.
