I cringe physically every time I see an ellipsis, they're like the calling card of the tech illiterate 30-40+ year old. I don't know why they like them so much... But they end... Every sentence or thought... Like this...

Spectre relies on tricking the CPU into branch predicting its way into accessing protected memory, no? Is it not possible that we can keep most of the performance benefits of speculative execution by somehow having a built in "Hey, nev

The technology behind it could maybe one day cause "the new dawn", but there's 0 chance this is anything other than people going full retard. It's like a smaller scale, equally as stupid/shitty version of that tul

How naive could you possibly be to think that Spotify or Netflix wouldn't have had this sort of data? I don't see anything wrong with the ads, not because it isn't fucking creepy, but because you'd have to be an idiot to

Both userChrome and userContent work just fine on ff57(+). I'm using both right now with the nightly build. What are you having issues with?

You could try giving normal, mainstream porn a shot. I don't think adopting either far end of the spectrum view of womens' sexuality is healthy. On one hand you have people who think less of women (putting it lightly) who are sexu

Do people really romanticize it, outside of certain delusional anime fans? Pretty much everything I hear about Japan - whether it be news, or talking to Japanese friends - makes it seem like the country isn't doing so hot as far as the

Why would you expect otherwise? If you're asking for some niche feature of course they'll blow you off. It isn't worth their resources developing features which only a small niche cares about. Firefox is open source, so you c

It's so strange seeing people who write these sorts of articles constantly praise Go's error handling. In what world is doing the whole if err != nil thing every 30-50 lines not ridiculous? I get that goroutines are great, but tha

Do you write Scala, or have you even looked at Scala code any time in the past few years? I'm curious where this habit of spreading FUD over Scala being operator heavy came from. Maybe it was back when it first started reaching the HN

Why/how is immutability a fad? Do you just mean in the context of LISPs? What elegance does having immutable by default data structures?

I don't know why, but that font is giving me some serious comic sans ms vibes.

What do you mean by serious products? There are plenty of massive projects written in purely functional languages (e.g. Facebook's Sigma) and while adoption isn't as fast as it could be, things seem to be shifting towards function

Have you checked out scalanative? I've heard good things, though I don't know if its viable for production use yet.

Why is it that he's so popular on HN? Did I miss a recent front page post or something? I swear every time I'm in a nutrition related thread I see somebody mention his name or a book he wrote or talk he did. I used to be pretty de

Can you clarify your argument/provide a possible solution? Your line of thinking seems kind of absurd to me - "Hey, we can't possibly predict our data model requirements in the future, and explicitly encoding them into a sche

What do you mean by ADTs introduce unnecessary coupling of information? ADTs allow you to clarify and safely handle otherwise vague data. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but your comment reads to me like you're in support of stringly

Is it just my perception, or is getting into security a bit of a pain? It seems like there's a lot of domain specific knowledge (I.e. stuff you won't know/remember coming straight out of a regular math/cs degree) and pra

This is a ridiculous strawman. Brainfuck has a tiny grammar, yeah, but its deliberately designed so as not to be readable. It also has an odd method of execution (I.e. your program is a big tape of memory and you manipulate the cells to do

If you have to write that kind of code for work you're probably out of luck, but if you're comfortable with FP and have some control over your stack I'd suggest the typelevel stack. I didn't know what the magnet pattern

Presumably because it represents a 'chain' of dependent computations or something along those lines.

Is it really that crazy? I'm pretty sure you'd have the same problem with any other language (I.e. most of the popular ones) where if/else isn't an expression.

Fwiw, the monad quote is actually pretty digestible if you know what monoids and functors are. A functor is a container that you can reach into to perform some action on the thing inside (e.g. mapping the sqrt function on a list of ints). T

The issue is/was that Samsung effectively is the only company that makes OLED phone displays, so they'd charge out the ass for one and could always just sell last gen displays to make their new phone more attractive. Iirc Apple an

Once you get over the initial learning curve of the functional/pure approach to state/IO, its far superior to imperative imo. You don't need to reason about global state - because everything is explicit, including passing aro

As a non-Java dev, Lombok seems like the kind of thing that could only be tolerated by Stockholm syndrome java devs :/ I mean, it's a clever solution and the site/documentation is great. But tossing around annotations everywh
