No. Maybe functions aren't the result of simply returning different results. It's doing or not doing something, abstracted into a function. Parsing is determining whether you should do it or not- it's about setting up a bound

Yeah, that's literally what I'm talking about being broken. It hasn't worked for me for over 2 years.

SQL's nonsensical handling of null is reason enough to learn other query languages.

Look, I like static type systems, but not all type systems are created equal, and some(with the easiest example being Go) are downright awful for helping encode business logic, forcing you to write immense amounts of code just to work aro

And that helps in financial analysis how?

by quaunaut 3y ago
You'd almost certainly just use a library dedicated to mitigating this problem though, of which there are many.

by quaunaut 3y ago
Why? What inherent advantage do those languages have with financial logic?
39.
by quaunaut 3y ago
Except we could just treat them the same, and we could have a type system that makes that possible. Multiple languages before Go had a solution to this, that could've been used. Or, it could've written said sufficiently advanced

> Would you put your code in production if there was a way to ignore compiler failure? What compiler failure? Go literally does not warn you until it hits the error at runtime for these exceptions.

Yes, I understand, I do distributed systems for a living, after all. But if you keep adding stipulations without actually describing the problem you're not actually looking for an answer, you're looking to be contrarian.

That's just standard erlang/elixir- because all values are immutable, when a new anonymous function is defined it copies the current value of the external variables into it. You can do it right now even without Flame, just by open

While Nix is cool and I think the model of the future, it doesn't obviate the need for elastic workloads on demand without wanting to dedicate a ton of time.

by quaunaut 3y ago
Yes and no: Maybe the rest of your workloads don't require much CPU- you only need this kind of power for one or two workloads, and you don't want them getting crowded out by other work potentially. Or they require a GPU. Or your

by quaunaut 3y ago
All true, but you've got a few issues: - Flame still assumes you have a server somewhere- this is purely for elastic workloads. - Dynamically scaling horizontally is not something "linux" can do for you: It's a legitimat

I imagine state should be managed via GenServers[1][2], since that's the general BEAM way of doing that. 1. https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/gen_server.html 2. https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.1

by quaunaut 3y ago
The number of languages that only support Inheritance and have no version of Composition(or severely compromised versions) is long. What's funny is how many of them make it easier to perform composition as long as you avoid the `clas

I can't agree enough. What other paradigm is so regularly implemented in a way that makes doing it poorly easy(Inheritance), doing it well hard(Composition), and requires a list of caveats so large that it effectively draws down to &qu

Yeah, this complaint is nonsense. It mechanically nullifies the damage and we colloquially call it a 'miss' because it applies whether someone has armor or not, but how to interpret that depends on the situation. For example, an A

by quaunaut 3y ago
That's only if you don't design your language to be easily inferred. While I don't know the case for SBCL, a language like Elm has very heavy type inference that you can rely on better than most type systems.

This is not nor has not ever been true. Now, you've got `dbg()` and running whatever you're running via `iex -S <whateveryouweredoinghere>`. Prior to `dbg()` you had `IEx.pry()`.

Not about the article, but: OpenFaaS' Pricing Page[1] has no pricing on it whatsoever. You could guess that since the Community edition is MIT licensed that it's free, but then again the language right above it says "non-prod

No, you don't require those things. If you're using the proper primitives, they literally can't hog 100% of the server CPU. In fact, the default concurrency primitives in the BEAM/Go do not hog 100% of the CPU , meaning

PureScript has what I'd call some stark issues. 1. Its maintenance/activity appear sporadic at best. 2. It's inscrutable. Whenever I've had issues, I don't have any idea even how to approach solving them. Half the t

Undeniably it's not going to be as convenient, but the divide isn't what it used to be. BEAM apps can be compiled to a binary, and as long as that binary was compiled for the platform, that should be good enough. I'm doubtful
