Almost funny: not recognizing the need to apply "simple" HMAC but yea we found a secure way to XYZ... eeeek indeed ;) Time again and again and again: never ever implement your own crypto...

And now we start the social experiment: "Will 2048 ever reach 2048 points on HN? And how long will it stay at exact that number of points?" Good luck everyone! ;)

I agree. >>You have to isolate the components that you're showing otherwise it's just a big mess that's hard to understand. That's for sure. No way to depict all of it at once... >>I think the implicit "

I understand the speed and energy efficiency of the proposed design can only be reached with specially designed hardware, but couldn't some of the expected effects be achieved on existing cpu-core-hardware designs by using the lower pr

This unrealistic symmetry and lego like snappiness, plus: in almost every visualization of these tiny tiny structures and processes involving them most of the "environment" is missing! Think about all the school, high-school and e

That's really a very profound way to see it! Thanks. I'd add to that: there is even a chance (quite high btw) we are not yet seeing all the problems nature solves AND maybe we never will even though we are constantly and exponenti

In my very early years when discovering coding I remember fantasizing about a system where I could start my creation as very simple endless loop and add to it without having to stop it what ever would make up an application (... more a codi

Yup, you assumed incorrectly. I can see the qualitative difference between operator overloading and monads. That's why I suggested to transfer the core idea of monads into more mainstream languages to provide more "semantic&qu

Care to explain in a little more detail? Is a calender resp. date-time monad really such a far fetched idea?

by pointernil 13y ago
I often wonder how the "tool" named MONADS could help to deal with this quite old problem of what I call meta-types or semantic types (i'm sure there is a proper name for this; I'm not a cs/type-theory professional

Kudos for the named funs. Care to provide some "marketing" about what they allow for? (besides and in addition to what is already in the eep-0037(?)) Why are they important? How will they support developers in writing and understa

Yup. I'm wondering how much it would be worth for their customers to select the type of keyboard they would like for their new T-Series... even the keyboards off the top-notch models have a much "cheaper", sloppier feel to th

Well, maybe it is time to admit that "the market" and its players are not a homogenous mass and as Colin Crouch (of Post-Democracy fame) puts it (paraphrasing): there is the market and acting outside of it and mostly by different
