But then the review themselves get reviewed, and those get reviewed, etc In the end you get a rough global consensus. It's far (very far) from perfect, but maybe more representative of impact than the opinion 3 guys deeply embedded in

Good point. Though a good side effect is that when you see it used that way you "a-ha!", or you figure it yourself you feel smart. Something like "endoMonoid" doesn't immediately suggest these use cases either (unle

I believe peer review to be generally harmful. It forces you to do things in a certain direction, in a certain way. To quote Knuth: "In fact what I would like to see is thousands of computer scientists let loose to do whatever they wan

While it's an excellent example, I wonder if people don't see "endoMonoid" and run away screaming. I really wonder if people would have different reactions if this was presented as "Addable" instead.

The point of the class instance (the "singleton") is not performance, it's that it exists independently of any instance of the type, so it can be used for factories and such. This however, is not my main concern, and as you r

I always find it interesting how something seemingly as simple (conceptually speaking) as building a web app can in truth turn out pretty darn complicated. I'm not seeing all the complexity we see here or in other frameworks is warrant

No, not that. I agree with you on structural typing. What I mean is what the Scala doc calls "context bounds": http://docs.scala-lang.org/tutorials/FAQ/context-and-view-bo... (bit outdated: view bounds a

I've been using Kotlin for work (I'm a PhD student, so work is to be understood in a peculiar fashion) and I'm really liking it. It's a much needed upgrade to Java whose fundamental advantage is what I'd call "

The speculation is clearly indicated, and is no discredit to the paper. In fact, it is to their credit that they admit ignorance of the causes of the effects that they observe.

I was hit hard by the cognitive dissonance at the start of section 2. Just after waxing in section 1 on how Rails is designed to his own happiness (including adding quirky methods like 'fifth'), he says "One of the early prod

The thing I lack in GMail (or other mail clients / services for that matter): the ability to rename conversations, as well as split/fork them according to my wishes. Anyone know of an alternative that does this?

The philosopher Alain de Botton is trying to push the idea of a "secular religion", or more simply to recognize that religion filled a social role and that we don't currently have a good replacement. See his TED talk: https:

That's certainly the legal doctrine. Personally, I don't happen to agree with it.

That's one way too look at it. The other way is that he made content available when the producers wouldn't. How long do you have to wait to get TV shows in the EU while the US merrily fills the internet with spoiler? His motivatio
