"Old = bad" is not an argument against XML, or any technology for that matter.

Well he was just referring people to sign up for the website. The money was money he spent advertising the website(?), so the money only went to getting new members. The stocks were given as the reward for the most sign ups, not in exchange

This idea is the basis for one of the popular HTTP libraries in OCaml, cohttp [1]. The core library (see the lib/ directory in the source code) implements the HTTP protocol, but makes no attempt to perform IO. The file lib/s.mli d

Of course, but at that point one could throw in OCaml extensions (modular implicits + HKTs) to provide the Haskell functionality to OCaml.

You can't parametrize type classes over one another in the same way. In practice, this often makes ML style modules much more expressive: for example, I can have a Hashable type class with one implementation per type that is used by a

Agreed, but the AI industry is mostly built on the hype that computers will some day be at the mental capacity of a human. I think there's a lot of merit in what's been developed (image processing, language processing, handwriting

A lot of the comments here seem to focus only on the progress we've made rather than what AI should be (if it was true to the name). With "AI", sure I can tell Siri to send a certain email to a certain person. That's pre

Yes. Functional programming (although it isn't necessarily a trait of Lisp) has, in fact, little relation to math (despite what many people believe). It's also very far removed from the field of AI right now (not for any particula

As someone with very little knowledge of the language, I definitely agree with your first point. It's hard for me to figure out if the product would be useful for me at my level since there's no "Easy" book available for

Yes. Facebook decided to make an alternative syntax for OCaml for JavaScript users. Personally, I can't get behind it because it seems to be fragmenting OCaml (this article references OCaml in the title, but doesn't apply to actua

I think I'd consider a 4/5 to be pretty self-confident. I don't think it's good for anyone, woman or man, to think they've got nothing to learn and nowhere to grow (which 5/5 implies). Anyways, as the end of th

I doubt it. If anything, C++, but even that doesn't seem likely. The vast majority of languages seem to be self-hosted. A good portion compilers or interpreters in C or C++ probably use (F)lex and Yacc/Bison so even saying C or C+

Not even joking, take a look at TempleOS and HolyC... Terry Davis has made some wonderful features that allow for formatting code files and embedding a variety of rich content (like images or videos).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Han Unification project more about unifying semantically distinct, but visually identical characters under the same codepoint (rather than grouping together similar-looking codepoints as the

Just like how North Korea isn't "undeniably" wrong in censoring speech to such an extreme. This is a very 1984-esque "solution" to a problem -- don't want to acknowledge positive use of guns? Good news, we can

Iterators are monadic (since they have a flat_map method), Option and Result have the and_then method. Both of these are equivalent to >>=/bind. The fact that they don't implement pure/return doesn't change the fac

There is quite widespread use of monads in the standard library (albeit with a very targeted effort to hide their nature and make them very concrete).

Isn't Rust's syntax technically more Algol-like than C/C++/Go/D are? Anyways, I don't think it's worth calling that a disadvantage, at least with the way it's stated. I think "high learning curve

The combination of stronger type systems (especially dependent typing), less error-prone design (no manual memory management, no mutation, no global state, no loops/off-by-one errors), separated side effects (crashing during computatio
