Let’s invent a token so we can trade goods and services with it so people like this can hire more developers and offload work to them.

People have been running on “someone else’s server” for decades. So, no, that’s not the alternative.

It's very hard to make Haskell look attractive to me, I deal with open systems (i.e. systems which interact with many other heterogenous systems which evolve in time), and Haskell is optimized for precisely the opposite case (a walled

Honestly I'm only starting to accept how stupid it is that we call datacenter services "cloud" now, I just can't bear the stupidity of calling running script on a server "serverless function".

They do need full control to keep their platform safe. Are they managing to keep it safe is independent of that claim and we can ask why are those getting through.

I'm not deep into Haskell, but isn't the interpreter monad pattern effectively a language within the language that acts in a very conventional procedural way for interacting with IO and other external concerns? I just wonder... do

The funny thing is it's exactly the same thing with functional languages, and no, there's no clear definition of FP. Some FP is lazy, some isn't. Some is immutable, some isn't. Some claim it's a style in any languag

It's a pretty devastating evolutionary loss to have to abandon your offspring due to a disturbance. This is why mammals carry their "eggs". Birds couldn't evolve this way as they're very sensitive to weight due to f

This headline is is like saying drivers drive cars more than gas does. Which is nonsense. They mean cultural evolution helps us adapt faster than genetic evolution. Which... we didn't need research for, it's blatantly obvious and

The fact people have fought about things doesn't tell us much either. Did they get what they fought about. Or not. Typically not. Also is fighting to get more "society"? It happens even without society. So it's not an ex

That doesn't really mean anything. Society benefits some, is to the detriment of others, and for most it's a mixed bag.

by slver 5y ago
OK, well, if we start dissecting our human acts the same way, we'd literally end society. Most people are coerced into their jobs, due to society taking away their means of alternate survival, and job availability.
