The ESS package (“Emacs Speaks Statistics”) does something like that for R without using a language server. `lsp-ui` does it for Rust at the very least but probably for other languages too.

V8 is very impressive. But in exchange for its speed, it needs more memory. JS code optimized for speed tends to use more memory with Node.js than optimized Haskell or OCaml code: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net&#x2F

That sounds almost as vague to me as “object” does in OOP. Don’t non-monadic functions also consist of expressions that describe computations?

Good point, competing with the younglings steeped in ML is hard. Better to bring strengths that come with experience in adjacent skills. OP might do best to leverage both their existing Java/full-stack skills and their newly developing

Don't doctors have a lot of the administrative duties, preparation of equipment, etc., done by other staff in the practice? For practical purposes, wouldn't that count as having an assistant? In the case of this post, one could ar

Everything being a vector is one of the best things about R. You can write a function that looks sensible for scalars: in_circle <- function(x, y) { x^2 + y^2 <= 1 } It works as you would expect: > in_circle(.2, .3

Parent was being sarcastic. It kind of makes sense to expect 32 GB to fit every process on a desktop. But is that the main use case of OpenBSD? It would seem that the main use case would lean towards servers instead?

Did you have a rule for choosing the topics to write about, or was that choice also part of the writing process?

It would be interesting to hear grandparent’s perspective. We learn from the experience of others. Otherwise, schools, best practices, or forums like HN would be completely useless.

I was (wrongly) guessing performance. Tibbles are ok for smaller data sets where data transformations don’t need to be in place and there’s no risk of running out of RAM. Data tables perform better, at the cost of what I think is a less erg

Here's a thread on the birth of Haskell in 1990.[1] Simon Peyton Jones was writing about GHC supporting parallelization, and the team lacking access to hardware that supports shared memory for testing: Good news: we are; we have a
