Eventually evolution will catch up. Surely there must be some gene that motivates us to have a lot of kids. If such a gene exists it will quickly wipe out any genetic competition. It could also work indirectly, for instance a genetic dispo

This. Climate change is real, but the early climate activist movement has done itself and the rest of the world a disservice by overexaggerating the change and the effects.

Warmer temperatures -> faster growing vines -> earlier harvest dates. And the warmer temperatures could possibly be explained by more concrete and stone nearby. I'm not saying that this explanation is true, I'm just trying t

No, this is not the case. It is actually for non FP solutions that the amortized performance converges to constant time. But for pure FP, there is no solution that performs in constant time, also not when amortized.

A better example would be to implement an efficient HashMap in pure FP. This is simply impossible unless you fall back to some tree based solution which is less efficient. Interested why this is downvoted .. Hashmaps can have O(1) time comp

Very odd that this article states that functional programming is the solution to the null reference problem. Yes as far as I know all functional languages have some kind of Optional or Maybe type as a solution, but there are non-functional

Exactly this. I'm completely stunned how everybody seems to be ignoring the fact that the closest relatives of the Covid virus are in Yunnan, which is 1500 km away from Wuhan, or even further, in Laos. So a zoonotic origin of the outbr

I have trouble understanding your point. Do you mean that HN front page should only show articles which are in line with the most common papers?

Yes it flows downhill, but as long as ice is accumulated in the accumulation zone, which is in the upper region of the glacier, the downflowing part is filled up by new ice from above. By the way the article doesn't say that the veins

How could it be uncovered by an advancing glacier?

by misja111 4y ago
I'm surprised that around 5900 B.C. it was apparently more warm than now. At least this is what is suggested by the fact that at that time the glacier didn't cover that crystal vein.

That will only work when your functions don't have side effects. So no database access, no network calls etc. You could work around that by passing in your database client as parameter but when you have a DAO class with lots of functio

Not just that, the next project will be just as tightly planned because last time it also ended up fine. And probably your project manager will get a nice bonus for getting things delivered so he can continue setting the example for others.

This is so naïve. What makes you think that the Russians will keep North Stream 2 open, given the fact that they are closing North Stream 1 for the EU now? If they will keep it open at all, it will be only after some heavy concessions on th
