Nah we know the punch-lines to this one. Worries about reduced quality of work are overblown, because there's always a human operator of the AI, reviewing the text between copying and pasting (no different from StackOverflow!). Enter

Any time I'm doing anything remotely to do with merging, I use 'git diff' or 'git difftool'. If I diff against master, I see changes in 300+ files, when I've only changed 5 (because other people have changed 30

I'm living the dream right now : -------- Let me check for a Directory.Build.props file instead, as it might contain the package versions: well are you doing it? I'll check for the Directory.Build.props file to see if

What setup are you using?

by mrkeen 10mo ago
string reversal, integer negation or toUpperCase are classical examples of functions which will not compile as `a -> a` The function which will compile as `a -> a` is the identity function.

by mrkeen 10mo ago
Where did you get that definition? "function that takes one argument and returns one value of the same type" is the identity function.

What would change your mind regarding ruling out illegal structures? In an alternative universe, there could be n sentinel non-values, instead of a single null. There could be "null" ("I am initialising this memory as uniniti

by mrkeen 10mo ago
Haskell does not have nulls. Java 8 introduced Options, and now there are nulls and Options. Please tell me you didn't just add SideEffects to a language full of side-effects.

Oh yeah, I'm not sure what an execution trace is, but ConcurrentHashMap is indeed fit-for-purpose for single-threaded use.

STM containers does it right. lookup :: k -> Map K v -> STM (Maybe v) insert :: v -> k -> Map K v -> STM () It won't execute until you wrap it with atomically, so you're forced to be explicit about whether

I've had mixed experiences with AMD. Back in the day - a bit after Linus told Nvidia to fuck off - I tried to get my Radeon 5850HD (i think?) working on Ubuntu. It was one of those things I spent the whole weekend (OS reinstalls real

It's not that shared-xor-mutate magically solves everything, it's that shared-and-mutate magically breaks everything. Same thing with goto and pointers. Goto kills structured programming and pointers kill memory safety. We'

I wasn't aware that an eraser became worse over time. It's my recollection that if it's a small red cylinder on the end of a pencil, it's terrible from start to finish. Compared to the standalone erasers (whitish and aro

Honesty is not the same thing as justified dishonesty. If you can paint him as a rational agent for lying, you can still be a rational agent and ignore his lies.

So you walked out of the free carpentry store holding Linux, a Go compiler, Git, etc. and now you're looking to build stuff to sell to other carpenters! Non-carpenters don't need microservice frameworks or app platforms. Plus ca

You pay the carpenter for his time and materials. The same thing could be true of software development. But instead you buy a table from Apple and it's only compatible with chairs from Apple. So you can't pay your local carpente

You've just built a calculator, and now you want to test it. Well, you have to push buttons on a calculator, so you build a robotic hand. And that hand needs a power source and some intelligence. And you need to photograph and OCR t

What is the image sharing platform's criteria for "entertaining enough"? Is it whether or not the message is an image?

by mrkeen 10mo ago
This is so dramatic it's hard to recover the original complaint. Dansup has built a photo-sharing app on top of ActivityPub, and we humans are a lost cause because the app doesn't also do text-only messages? Is that the gist of it

That will be the case when Alice stands close to where C happens, and Bob stands close to where D happens. It's a little trickier to imagine introducing cause-and-effect though. (Alice sees that C caused D to happen, Bob sees that D c

by mrkeen 10mo ago
Right, but I don't care about the reference to foo (that's a low-level detail that should be confined to systems languages, not application languages) I was asking about the foo .
