Or even better, come up with punctuation that supports nesting and makes grouping clear. So you could literally reuse the language, but surround each term in the list in { ... } or something similar.

Most garbage collected languages don't require a VM as far as I'm aware. D, Go, Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, ML, Nim, ...

Just curious, but what are your thoughts on alcohol?

Having used F#, I find Rust to be much closer to following the "right path". F# may have mode some good choices initially, but it strays back and forth between intuitive and straight-up senseless regularly. It lacks most of the el

It's entirely unintuitive, inconsistent with the syntax, and is generally senseless. "var" lacks an easy to explain meaning because in many cases it doesn't even introduce a variable.

That only gives them an excuse to do nothing about this. All those companies should immediately go ahead and update any data that could have possibly leaked + inform their customers.

Isn't it technically the deliriant effect that causes these hallucinations (and not the dissociative effect)?

Not that the majority of users have that. Even eschewing those outside of wealthy countries, most users are on mobile devices (laptops, tablets, cell phones). Of those who have desktop PCs, very few have terabyte SSDs and even fewer have 32

I don't understand using this to learn a language. It might help you get the syntax, but there's no way to understand semantic concepts happening behind the scene. Just imagine trying to understand monads by memorizing how to use

One could argue that if you mean "map" use "map", not a little dance with a for loop. I'm inclined to say that the same argument could he applied to "if", but without seeing what their particular code look

Just a minor correction, MAOI = MAO inhibitors. MAOI inhibitors is redundant.

Would be interesting seeing the effects of microdosing psychedelics for chess. In theory, it should improve problem-solving skills. While the effects of stimulants seem rather expected in this situation, I think seeing information on microc

Seems really similar to what Telegram has been trying to do for a while now. First with basic bots, then bots using custom keyboards and stickers, then with inline bots, and now with the game API (which basically allows you to package arbit

Heh, I feel that same way every time I experience something like this on here. People get way too worked up over things that don't matter at all. For some reason I keep coming back here though...

Hm, this gets me thinking... it wouldn't take much work to get a public channel viewer website working.

I wonder how difficult it would be to add voice chats using a custom client. I've thought about doing some experiments extending the feature list (e.g. calls, different encryption layers, etc.) by forking an existing client and using s

Eh, there's a big community of 4chan groups already (at least for specific boards, like a variety of /g/ groups for technology discussion). I wouldn't say they're any worse than the alternatives (the Let's Talk

I disagree with a lot of this, but I'll focus on the worst offender. The rule against identifiers shorter than 8 characters specifically disallows `name', which makes absolutely no sense to me. This particular word says a lot, and

Any sure-fire proof would make the U.S. look just as guilty as Russia. Even if the U.S. knows for sure, it will look a lot worse for them if they try to release the information. The chances that they know for sure and will release the proof

Or you can just allocate your resources so that you're permanently safe with your choice.

Maybe, but there are plenty of languages I would say are completely independent -- APL, Prolog, and Forth don't seem to resemble Fortran in any major way. At least Lisp shares the same notion of functions=subroutines.

Agreed. Regardless of your opinions about the election/politics, it's quite clear that people on both sides hold the same kinds of false/ridiculous beliefs. Just the other night at a restaurant I had the pleasure of overheari

Nobody would believe any of this crap if it weren't for the media. The American media sucks and has 100% caused this issue. The problem isn't just "fake news" in the sense that people can share whatever "news"

All programming languages were derived from Fortran? Really?

That description of closures is really odd to me and I know for a fact that it would not have worked on me as a child. After spending some time teaching programming to middle schoolers/high school freshmen, I think they're really

Idris is meant for general purpose programming. If you want something Idris-like that is for theorem proving specifically, I would suggest trying Agda (which is much closer to Coq in terms of use).

Minor nit-pick: an interpreter need not work line-by-line, but rather (more commonly?) AST-node-by-AST-node. This isn't necessarily true for BASIC interpreters or something resembling assembly, but in general the code is represented as
