I don't think you know what an insanity claim entails. You absolutely give up rights and privileges if you "win" by invoking it.

Because it needs to be hallucinated.

You'll never achieve takeoff if you keep thinking like that.

Yes, I'm sure in 2-3 years I'll be finding plenty of regexes analogous to that cron expression, like one matching balanced parentheses.

Even setting temp to 0 retains some nondeterminism.

Ticket control in Berlin seems to have gotten extremely centralized. 5y ago it was pretty random where they might walk a few people through scanning on the train, today it's almost always checks on the platform at major hubs / tou

The compiler is only vaguely allowed to do this by general "as if" rules; in practice there are so many formal constraints on field layout I don't think it could do better even with the world's most brilliant optimizer

Not sure how you come to this conclusion - the sentinel is a performance hit. If you're lucky enough to be working in a language and with the blessed types where it figures out a good sentinel for you, you're still paying the se

C++ would be the obvious poster child. It might be more instructive to list some exceptions: - As described elsewhere in this thread, Julia is able to optimize Array<Option<X>> internally into a bitfield and a tightly-packed arr

by morelisp 3y ago
Most mainstream languages conflate memory layout and type definitions so your Option<T> is going to be implemented internally with worse-than-sentinel-values and take an even larger performance hit.

IMO this is a fairly deep correspondence. Git and monads both side in the rare octant of "simple, hard, relevant to nearly every programmer's work even if they're not very aware of it". Most quotidian things are simple a

Git stores snapshots. If you want an alternate calculation of diffs git doesn't stand in your way.

If git is an auxiliary tool, your entire programming environment and language are "auxiliary tools". Today being able to persist and distribute multiple versions of source code is table stakes for being a programmer. If we're

If the last thing you did was switch branches do you want to undo switching branches, or undo the last thing you did on the branch? If the last thing you did was stage, do you want to unstage, or undo the last change outside the staging are

Network effects for distributed VC are quite weak, it's one of the reasons git was able to displace alternatives relatively quietly, and why mercurial is able to soldier on despite git's visible dominance.

This is definitely the real question always underlying this topic, but maybe more charitably: how typical is a collaborative development experience vs. a single-step hierarchy with blessed releases? Is there really a practical argument to l

There's no sense in which that's pornographic. The entire point is that it's not sexually arousing.
