I'm not taking about the article. I'm asking the person I'm replying to who says " The situation is still the same, happening as we speak ".

Thanks! Why a DAG rather than a tree, though? I can't seem to find an explanation for why a DAG is needed — I would think a tree should suffice.

Question: is the in-URL hash some form of Merkle tree root hash? Or is another method used to avoid having to download all the data before the hash can be verified? Searching for “Merkle” on https://ipld.io/specs/transp

My guess would be to reduce transit fees. I know my local ISP caches the Google homepage (I assume this is the reason).

That’s the essential problem with parents: nobody really know how it affects competition. And therefore the status quo doesn’t change. I think we should swap the burden of proof: patents should be abolished if it cannot be shown that they’r

Devil’s advocate: where’s the evidence that this is caused by anti-competitive practices by Intel? Most people have no idea what AMD or Intel — let alone a CPU — is. It seems plausible that AMD isn’t popular because the average consumer isn

The primary problem with YAML is that it allows writing strings without quotes. This causes confusion because it’s impossible to see, from just reading the YAML file, which strings become strings and which are interpreted as numbers or bool

They achieve it by paying developers to do it (instead of relying on unpaid volunteers).

This only puts currency codes in the type system; and uses rational numbers for amounts. This is definitely useful because you can have the type system tell you if you've implemented e.g. exchange rate conversion incorrectly. But it&#x

I think it's the worst example. I very much doubt we will ever see the price of, say, a car approach a billion billion dollars (or cents). It's too many zeros for people to work with on a daily basis. I think what will happen is t

Unions are there to take care of the interests of their members. This is undeniably good for their members, but I'd like to remind you that it's not always good for outsiders. For example, the union of California's prison gua

That should be possible already with the LIDAR, I think.

Why would an iPhone be running x86-specific code? I don't dispute that these optimizations may have been necessary on older hardware, but I think the current generation of Apple CPUs should have plenty of power to not need these micro

I call bullshit on this one. I don't buy that being able to manually copy data into a memory buffer is critical for performance when implementing image codecs. Nor do I accept that, even if we do want to manually copy data into memor

I will keep using this example. It's a good example for illustrating why transactions are necessary and what they are. And it's not relevant whether or not banks actually work this way.

I wonder how this compares to the motion estimation algorithms in the x264 and x265 video codecs. If it's better, then it can be used to increase video compression, by using it at the motion estimation stage for these codecs.

Burning funds, instead of transferring them, would solve two of your three issues. Obtaining the funds creates extra friction, yes, but it’s possible the benefit outweighs the cost — e.g. because an attacker can no longer utilize the idle C

If you think it's fine that you can log from all functions in other languages, then what's the problem with adding that constraint to all your Haskell functions to allow this?
298.
by runeks 3y ago
That's because most languages allow arbitrary IO in all functions. You can achieve this in Haskell too if you want, by just using IO as your monad everywhere. But most people don't do that because then it becomes really hard to re

Hard agree on Hoogle — it's amazingly useful. But wrt. other tooling, I use haskell-language-server every day and it makes me so much more productive. Sure, it isn't perfect, but so much better than what we had just five years a

I'm not suggesting that my library should be able to transitively depend on multiple versions of base. I'm suggesting that which version of base my library depends on should not be tied to what the GHC version (used to build my li
