> Completely and utterly false As far as I can tell you lazide are in agreement. If your comment didn't start with "Completely and utterly false" I'd think you were writing a supporting/reinforcing follow-up!

It seems to be a fairly common usage. Perhaps "Responsibility" is less ambiguous but it doesn't have the same connotation of "right to control" that "ownership" has, so isn't perfect either. Wiktionar

Can't tell if this is an amusing oblique reference to https://personal.cis.strath.ac.uk/conor.mcbride/pub/she/ !

You're moving the goalposts! You said 'the recommended way of writing a program to e.g. read two numbers from the user, add them, and print the result, demands understanding "Monad".'

Where do I have to 'understand "Monad"' to write this? main = do x <- readLn y <- readLn print (x + y) Do I have to 'understand "Monad"' to write this? def main(

I wonder if commenters on Psych News question the professional judgement of IT workers based on second hand reports of their behavior.

Lists of "Allow" and "Deny" have been around a long time, for example in Apache for probably nearly 30 years. https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html...

As far as I know there is no "creator of a meeting" in Jitsi. It's just a case of the first person to sign in as moderator gets to be the moderator.

It's an interesting idea but I can't say I feel that would solve a problem I've ever had. In fact, I always completely annotate top-level definitions with their types. I never want them inferred. And I've never felt it

Ah yes, obviously that one, thanks! Black marks for Google and Kagi, both of which found "The Witches" instead of "Three Witches".

It's not a shortcoming of the language; it's a shortcoming of the goal! You can't have both the goal of fine-grained effect tracking and the goal of not having to make fine-grained changes when effects change. They're i

It's perfectly idiomatic Haskell to annotate all your functions with an effect you believe they should all have.

This seems to be the drawing in question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Witches_%28Hans_Baldung%29 But where is the witch described in the passage? I don't see anything like it.

Interesting examples, thanks! I have to nitpick a bit though. You said "real-world Haskell requires enabling half a dozen language extensions ... some of which are mutually incompatible". 8.6.1 is 5 years old at this point, so t

I’m confused. Do you mean that the choice between those three buttons is difficult? I always just chose “send response now” and didn’t concern myself any more about it. Is there some reason that doesn’t work for people who are short on choi

I would love to see a follow-up article entitled "Why I can't 'just say "no"'". That's what I'd do (albeit in more diplomatic language) so I am extremely curious why others don't or can&#x2

Sydney the Bing bot also reacts exactly like it's feeling offence. Is it also obvious it's feeling offence?

A little harder still: It does not have a representation for values which do not exist! (see also: "make invalid states unrepresentable")

I can testify, to my embarrassment, to the same experience.

> Haskell's ... complexity when it comes to having to solve problems that are not in this space (having to use monads or effects for io) Absolutely the opposite in my experience! Haskell is the best language for effect-heavy code
