By performing a perfunctory Google search you can answer your own question. Notably, [0] exists. Of course this isn't exhaustive research by any measure. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_killed_for

GDPR actually specifically regulates citizen-government interactions as well (article 2), with special exceptions for law enforcement (article 2.2.d). You could of course argue that authorities can still make up any kind of law enforcement

I don't see why they couldn't have just kept the UI though.

See my cousin comment; I just wanted to make the point that working with tree-like data structures in FP feels rather natural.

If we really need to we can just actually use arrays tho: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/primitive-0.7.4.0/docs/D... That's what I meant: You can mostly use tree-like log(n) data structures rather n

A note regarding your binary tree example: I'd argue that FP is actually great for working with tree-like data structures. For example, the common implementations for sets and maps are based on balanced trees. IME it's graph-like

Except there's a difference between harassing people in particular and just stating your general opinion on some topic.

This. I'd be perfectly happy with ads that are actually related to the content and served by the same IP as the content. Going advertising networks is lazy and inconsiderate.

Edit: See comments, got something mixed up. This doesn't work at all. Original post: In a similar vein you could turn a == 0 || b == 0 || c == 0 into !(a && b && c). If we don't need short-circuit eva

This. But it strenghtens the arguments that programming environments should just come with some sort of support for the most common encoding forms.

This is exact conversation (modulo the web) has likely been happening since humans became a thing. It's an endless cycle and it takes a lot of self-reflection to step out of.

There sure is, however "fascism" as a concept can be seperated from its instances.

Sibling comment is basically what I meant and my general opinion about the linked website as well. > You're basically saying that being more knowledgeable about something makes your opinion less useful. In certain contexts I definit

Out of curiosity, how is this relevant to the posted article? I don't really see the connection but I'd be delighted to hear your train of thought.

I don't know acidburn but I'd argue that having a PhD in nuclear engineering and having worked in the field is likely to increase your bias towards nuclear (being a "nuclear bro") rather than equalize it. PLT PhDs will t

I was under the impressions that the "tax the rich" mentality actually aims to close these loopholes for the super-rich. The idea is (I think) that increasing taxes on the literal top 1% or 0.1% just a little is much more effectiv

Websites love to record interactions, however insignificant they are, in order to correlate them with conversions. I'd say Google Analytics is likely the right answer.

It actually exists in the form of this CMS: https://produkt.gsb.bund.de/DE/Home/home_node.html However, I believe it's mostly the federal ministries that use it.

Perhaps it's not discussed as much since it seems kind of far-fetched if you don't provide any sources.

This is not true, Haskell of course allows you to mutate state. It just forces you to declare it: For example, there's a MutableByteArray type whose operations only work in a specific Monad (because Haskell...) [1]. There's also m

I think the post you're replying to is being sarcastic. Nobody would take such a small amount of economic gain over the deaths of millions of people, right? ... right guys?

The German calculator (quite transparently) prices in {pension,health,unemployment} insurance. Still a ~10k difference favoring Cali but it shouldn't be left unsaid.

Did she have to upload her full ID or was she allowed to redact some info like the number or such? I'd be really careful handing out my PI like that.

(author here) You are absolutely right! If your use case demands storage of CJK strings, UTF-8 is probably not your best bet. But our data (mostly stringly typed, think product descriptions or links) is >99% Basic Latin characters and we
