This is why I said ostensibly. I think it should be assumed the financial parts were done on the up and up. Such that disclosures and such can waive a lot of the concerns that would make it illegal. There are non-financial liabilities, as

Ostensibly, it is in what you left out of your question? If you can buy the assets, specifically, you can not buy the liabilities. Obviously, getting some people off of obligation lists is one of them. There could be others?

My gut is that the recommendation flows from the idea of a portable solution with more controls? That is, io_uring is limited in both target deployments, and in what you can do to adjust performance considerations. The first is somewhat ob

I'm not sure that is the reason, honestly. Used to, the government could spend a TON of money with relatively little resistance. Even programs that did get a lot of resistance could still be done without worrying about the political

It is amusing/depressing to consider this as getting punished for having expensive engineering to avoid failures. If you do put in more engineering to get a more robust solution, you wind up not hitting the expensive failures and peop

The idea that you can leverage competition to build public infrastructure things feels dubious, to me. Will try to take a dive on some of that literature. At face value, though, public infrastructure is largely the sort of thing that enabl

My expectation on cost of banana will be more on how much it costs to ship to said town? Similarly, which town has higher tax burden to cover? Assuming any sort of health inspection on places that store food, the town with more stores has

Amusingly, I suspect that the "dozen main services" is still quite a few more than most smaller companies would consider on their stacks.

Do we use more electricity because of 5G? I confess I'd assume modern phones and repeater networks use less power than older ones. Even at large. I can easily agree that phones that have internet capabilities use more, as a whole, th

If algebraic effects is not about how to manipulate effects using algebra, then I will flat out say that it is poorly named. Which, fair that that is already established and I don't expect some rando on the internet's objection t

I don't think I mentioned boolean algebra? I responded to someone else mentioning it. My problem there is still that you are going to be taught how to operate over boolean values using an algebraic construction. (Looking, I think th

Right, but this is just explaining algebra. Which, I get that. Connect this to effects, for me. (And fair that just because I assert that I get it, I would wager I don't have as strong of a handle as I should have.) My understanding

I feel that you just spelled potato and then pronounced it differently. :D If you have examples you recommend, I'd be game to look over them. What is a first class "value" that is referenced in algebraic effects?

I'm not positive on what you are aiming at. I'd assume "algebraic effects" are to talk about performing algebra on the effects. That is, you are specifically going to talk about how different things combine effects, pr

I'm not sure I follow? For one, if algebraic isn't aiming at the ideas in an algebra, then they absolutely should be using a different name. For two, though, the whole idea is how to compose the "value" of different eff

The problem with this is still that you are sticking with the algebra over the boolean values. And you are going to use + and * in doing so. Then, you are going to move to discussing the algebra over types and effects. In such a way that

I think you are reaching more for imaginary numbers? I could see trying to fit this with surreal numbers, as well. Would be fitting, as I think Conway was big into knots? Regardless, no, not dumb. Numerically modelling things is hard, it

Git does no such thing. Plain text files with free form merging capabilities somewhat solves the idea that you can merge things. But, to make that work, the heavy lifting has to be done by the users of the system. So, sure, if you are say

I started a thread last time Algebraic Datatypes were discussed that hit a similar vein. I assert most programmers know the middle school version of "algebra" and think of it in terms of what they can do with the values they are

Reading this does make me think about how exploring settings in emacs `M-x config` settings is actually better than I would expect. So it isn't like you can't also have the checkboxes and forms.

Ok, the idea that "north is up" is potentially a consequential thing is somewhat fair. In that it is not just dismissable out of hand. That said, it is pretty silly. And asserting it is meaningful philosophically reeks of agenda

Ok, I don't think I disagree that much. Was more just curious on what you meant. I view the structure as already something happening to describe things in ways that facilitate styling. But, this is a lot like the distinction between

I am not sure I understand. There is coupling between the styling and the structure. Somewhat by necessity? I'm curious how you would possibly avoid having any. I think your point is that there are not enough structural items to dis

This doesn't really change the idea, though. The structure is specifically to communicate style opportunities. Exactly how it is styled can be dependent on other things, as well, but the structure is specifically an affordance to fac
