They were desperate because they believed (correctly) the court would target their officials. Whether or not it's warranted[1] is a quite independent consideration! For example, in principle a country could be confident that it would

Yes, of course they're aware of their precarious situation vis-a-vis global public opinion. The question is whether that is warranted.

I acknowledge that is your interpretation. Others have the interpretation that the support Israel has been given since Oct 7th falls far short of what would be appropriate in the circumstances. Regarding the accusation of killing civilians

by tome 2y ago
That's one interpretation. Another interpretation is that Israel is convinced that the global scrutiny they experience is so unfair and one-sided that they have to take action ahead of time to try to restore a modicum of balance.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm responding to my top-level comment rather than to everyone individually. It sounds like the objection is not to the fact that the exception type is checked, but that "checkedness" doesn&#x

by tome 2y ago
Why? I never understood the objection to checked exceptions. It seems to me they would give me exactly what I want! (Granted, I'm a Haskell programmer, not a Java programmer.)

Yes, indeed they are both functions, enumFromTo and enumFrom! https://www.stackage.org/haddock/lts-22.22/base-4.18.2.1/Pre... https://www.stackage.org/haddock/lts-22.22/base-4.18.2.1

Do you mean you worked with people who were Haskell enthusiasts but were programming in C++?

I think what you're complaining about is not syntax, but lack of syntax. There's nothing syntactially special about this "for loop"! What's the benefit of this then? Firstly, less to learn. If you already under

I haven't seen a good use case for the lazy ones, versus some sort of iterator around chunks of strict ones.

Wow, this is very interesting! Thanks for sharing. I've never heard of controlled atmosphere before but it makes sense. I always wondered how so much produce could always ben in a fresh state.

Hi, thanks for sharing this. I'm actively trying to understand the roadblocks to onboarding new users to Haskell, and trying to fix them. If you'd like to share any more about your experience I would really value hearing about it.

I program Haskell every day and don't feel like I've been shoehorned into being "an architecture and abstraction astronaut". I do feel I've been gently nudged away from worst practices[1] though. Could you elaborat

What do you find bizarre and unergonomic about it?

by tome 2y ago
If you start with an impure lazy programming language, you will very quickly discover that you may as well make it pure and handle side effects through an IO type. Specifically, it would be far too hard to perform effects in the correct or

And just in case it's not clear: I'm saying Groq can be used for arbitrary AI inference workloads, and we aim to be the fastest for all of them. We're not tuned to any specific model.

I'm not sure what you mean. The GroqChip is general purpose numerical compute hardware. It has been used for LLMs, and it has also been used for drug discovery and fusion research ( https://www.alcf.anl.gov/news/ac

It's interesting how impressions can vary so much. This is exactly the kind of site that would be a strong positive signal to me. To me it appears old school, friendly, straight-forward.

I'm very sorry to hear about the double layoff! That must be very difficult to experience.

But one reason that rebase wizards might curate a a rebased branch of small commits is exactly so that the small commit structure remains on merge to main. That way they can track down any problems with it more easily in the future. (Iron

That's interesting, because to hit all those points I'd prefer Haskell! I've never found another language where it's so easy to jump into an unfamiliar codebase, or to come back to code I wrote years ago and get started

Hi, thanks for posting this! I'm the Bluefin author. I developed Bluefin in an attempt to make programming with effects as simple as possible, and what could be more simple than using effects by passing them as arguments to functions?
