You can't do that in idiomatic JavaScript, at least I've never done such a thing in the past 15 years. Maybe you could share an example to show me?

> If you read some file (or remote URL) multiple times, you may get different data each time. True, but just like in Haskell that data is not returned by the function, JavaScript functions are pure for I/O.

Alright, but you were praising the article for conveying the meaning of the words, when those meanings are useless without some sort of interesting application. I believe people find monads difficult to grok not because the definition is ha

> But the interesting part of Haskell's I/O isn't the implementation, it's the (pure) API that it uses, and Javascript has nothing like that. No, I insist JavaScript really has a pure approach to I/O, quite like

It's not an artificial barrier, you just didn't learn anything useful yet. So now you know what the words mean, but they mean super mundane stuff that you've probably dealt with a hundred times. You already knew how to use ma

by tinco 5y ago
Not exactly. When using the I/O monad in a pure language like Haskell, your code doesn't directly have side effects, instead you're building a container (a monad) of instructions of what side effect having operations to do, a

Except that it might be, because if people knew how to do it, they would have for the past 20 years that ECS have been implemented in the games industry that is notoriously focused on memory locality optimisation. (not that I'm advocat

It's specifically archetype based ECS that's been patented. Like (seemingly) everyone else in gamedev, I've implemented ECS multiple times over the past 10 years. The last time I did it was in Rust, trying to be the first to

If you have to depend on Node.JS to run your service, it's a red flag. Still I'm seriously considering Node.JS for every backend project we start, just because it's so much easier to hire for, and the ecosystem is so healthy.

Why would you do it in Rust if you can do it in Go? Was there some realtime constraint in making the web request?

That really is mischievous, as a kid I'd play around on the schools computers which I felt were fair ground, though the headmaster would probably disagree. The only time I was really confronted was when I was warcycling around town, fo

I was wrong, I'm not using fuse, but instead the kernel cephfs implementation. That article considers vfs_ceph to be legacy, and instead recommends to use the regular mount, but then does recommend to install samba-ceph and gives a con

The former, thanks! I didn't know about vfs_ceph, I'll check it out! And thanks for your work on samba, it really is great and it's really enabling our way of working.

by tinco 5y ago
Thanks! I've had this recommended to me before, I'll have to check it out sometime.

I'm getting terrible performance exposing CephFS over samba, I wonder if this might solve those issues as well.

REST has 6 constraints, the 6th constraint has 4 elements, the last of those four is a useless thing called HATEOAS. If you call your API REST, some zealots will open up your API and look if your beautiful response is polluted with any &quo

I don't know why someone downvoted you, but the flaw people are pointing out is that the initial agreeing upon a basis is equivalent to exchanging a preshared key. If you've got a preshared key, then why go through the trouble of

Alright, so my initial response is this: Luckily I'm not in charge of setting up a QKD network at the moment. I have no idea what the actual usecase is for these things. I fully agree that simply sending a "runner" with the P

You ask jokingly, but the serious answer is that there's an actual scarce asset behind it. Sort of like Bitcoin ;) Whether the scheme artificially inflates the value of the asset remains to be seen of course. I feel the fact that the c

You can pull it off if you've got integrity. John Stewart surely has plenty of integrity in my eyes. Joe's definitely also going for integrity, but maybe he's also liable to be pulled into the views of his guests. He certainl
