I don't understand. You completely omit laws and specific policy suggestions in your criticism. I'd love to see you advance this discussion by adding something to it. What laws and policies would you suggest? If you don't

If you're familiar with it, you might want to consider sharing your thoughts on it rather having people waste their time explaining something to you that you're already familiar with. Otherwise, your inquiry doesn't come off

You're reading way too much into that map if you think people in low rent areas drive into Manhattan. Driving into Manhatten is slow, expensive and finding free parking is a pain in the ass. Most of the red dots on that map are in Ber

This was my first programming job. I was 18 and Windows 95 had been out for 6-7 months when I started working for a company that made Total Quality Management software. At its peak, there were 6-7 VC++/MFC developers working on on som

I'm sorry, I ignored the second part of your question. I was responding to: > What is an example of exception that happens many times per second? I made a distinction between exceptions and errors because exceptions are a specific
223.
by steego 8y ago
This is always good advice. One should strive so their code doesn't run into errors in the first place. However, sometimes the errors are actually part of the fabric of the domain itself. They're expected to occur very frequently

So the author isn't reinventing the wheel. I should have explained that Railway programming isn't supposed to replace doing try/catch, it's typically best suited for scenarios where errors are not exceptional. It works

by steego 8y ago
So I'm not talking about exceptions, I'm talking about talking about errors. You can easily generate thousands of errors per second if you're simply validating and routing large streams of data.
227.
by steego 8y ago
You are correct that the performance of exceptions isn't typically needed because exceptions aren't meant to be thrown that often. They're exceptional. Railway oriented programming is better suited when errors are much more

There's a difference. First, you're not incurring a large runtime penalty, so this works better in higher performance scenarios. Second, you're trapping and propagating successful values in a monad, which means your obligati

I don't disagree. Most times, I would prefer the decisions of how people get the things they need are made by a network of people with incentives to provide and profit rather than central planning. However, if the situation is dire a

To be clear, I wasn't making the case for a motive or even suggesting this was a plausible scenario. My point was death from a nuclear weapon is not the worst form of death. Modern history is littered with examples of millions of peop

To be clear, I'm not comparing death to starvation. I'm comparing death by obliteration to death by starvation.

I agree that markets tend to buffer the effects significantly. The problem is in times of crisis, the appreciation of market dynamics and rule of law tend to wane. Even if those things are intact, the flow of goods and services can be und

You know what's worse than the instant obliteration of millions of people? The slow obliteration and starving of millions of people. Imagine Venezuela, but much much worse. Picture a society that doesn't know how to create instit
