No it's totally not a violation of anyone's rights, but that doesn't stop me from being able to oppose the idea. Like how I support drugs being legalized but I don't think everyone should start doing drugs.

Similar but I saw two friends show up very early on (and then keep showing up). Maybe people self-select friends based on typing style?

Played with it during Advent of Code. It really disappointed me. The first 10 minutes of discovering the language were great--in theory it had so much potential between how errors automatically propagate up, the extensive library, and metap

Reminds me of the time me and my friend were sent to the principal's office for talking about Nerf guns. Because obviously 2 second graders were plotting to shoot up the school. Or the time a girl said I threw something at her when I s

Yep. Only Android phones worth buying are Google/OnePlus because they don't pull that crap.

The funny thing about compilers is that one architecture has been established as the dominant architecture (the one described here) for probably the past 50 years. Almost without exception, every compiler is structured just about exactly th

Curious as to what extra rights you believe they have?

Social Security spending is >2x the military budget, making up one third(!!!) of the US federal spending every year [1]. It's also a system that is inherently growing in terms of payouts and shrinking in terms of pay-ins [2]. This m

People are going to be living next to Fukushima in the next few years. IIRC the vast majority of the waste was cleaned up in the first year or so and the rest has been contained to a small area.

I get that there's privacy concerns over a neighborhood owned by Google (and a government agency) but like... where did the notion that it's "constitution free" come from? If it's partially run by the government the

Yes, writing Haskell definitely takes a mental context switch. You kind of have to abandon the traditional style of programming in order to transition into it. Pretty similar to what writing Prolog feels like for example. In contrast, it se

OCaml is more of a multi-paradigm language than Haskell. It's not purely functional, so you can easily fallback into imperative code if you need (you can use mutable variables, I/O, mutable arrays, hashmaps, for loops, while loops

Which options in particular? I'm guessing Gtk or Tk might be pretty annoying to work with.

I'm sure Revery does, don't know about the others.

Qt is really trivial to style. That's like showing a blank HTML page without any CSS and discounting HTML because of that default appearance.

Discord uses minimum 140mb of RAM when idle on my machine. VS Code is currently idling at 330mb for me (2 files open), and it's a fork of Atom that allegedly performs better.

Qt is also cross-platform, easy to use, and has a giant library to work with. You can use it with virtually any language you want. Plus it runs on mobile.

On Windows I see very similar results. Discord, doing nothing, idles at 165mb of memory usage and Signal (with even fewer features than Discord) manages to use 233mb while doing fuck all. Telegram, which has just as many features, idles at

Having your own language can increase productivity. The compiler took 2 weeks according to OP. Also the fast compile times definitely help. This is also a project only OP is working on so number of contributors doesn't matter, and even

Fun fact in terms of the binary: by default OCaml uses static linking for pretty much everything except your libc, so unless something in the stack is doing something weird wrt linking that binary should contain all the dependencies.

I hear this all the time but I don't understand what hoarding means in this context. Surely you're not implying that the majority of any billionaire's wealth is just cash under their mattress? I'm fairly sure that most o

WOW. What blew me away was not his programming skills, but his ability to explain. There are many levels to understanding, and you can tell that Revel intuitively understands not just how to build things, but also how the code is working on
