The book doesn't have 2024 in the title. I suspect they put it there because last time a post about this book was made, I noted that it was from 2022, not realizing that the book has now been released in 2024. https://news.y

"Global configuration as a monad" is represented by the Reader monad, which is basically a wrapper over a function that takes a configuration/environment as a parameter and then returns something. It replaces a read-only glob

State can be modeled as a monad, but monads aren't a synonym for state. Just like squares are technically rectangles, but "rectangle" isn't a synonym for "square." How do I think of the State monad? - Like a Me

by trealira 2y ago
I don't see why you think all monads are just like the State monad. The Maybe and Either monads have nothing to do with state, for example.

No one gets everything they want in life, though, even with less waiting around. That seems like a strange line of reasoning.

I'm sure Viktor Orban thinks he's doing what's best for Hungary, too. It doesn't really matter whether they think they're justified when their values are so alien that you can't reconcile your ideals with their

This is just my conjecture, but I think that it's that psychopaths lack the capacity for empathy, and empathy is otherwise like a muscle in that it can be trained. I suspect this because I've grown more empathetic compared to when

I think you're right, but that developing a sense of ethics and believing those ethics and morals down to your bones will make you not want to do certain things. People without empathy don't have trouble lying to, stealing from, o

Ghidra, which is decompilation software, already manages to produce almost-valid C from assembly, and it does so without AI. I know nothing about how it works, but just from that, I'm guessing that producing almost-valid Rust from C co

ALGOL 68 did have structs and unions, however, which might be what they meant by "ALGOL in the 60s." That doesn't contradict what you say, though, since 1968 is already in the late 1960s.

I don't understand how this relates to my comment. I'm saying that avoiding side effects isn't a new idea, so it already has aged, either well or poorly.

Somehow I missed your comment 4 days ago. Thanks for the counter example. I really didn't think the Democrats would be center right anywhere, but I guess they are in Norway.

The ENIAC, the first computer, didn't have assembly language. You programmed it by fiddling with circuits and switches. Also, it didn't use binary integers, but decimal ones, with 10 vacuum tubes to represent the digits 0-9.

Avoiding side effects as much as possible is not a new idea, though; it's been around since at least the 80s. You can just ask people who have worked on Haskell code written in the past 25 years to determine for yourself if the idea ag

There was also this extension of C called Concurrent C, which has its own book called The Concurrent C Programming Language , originally published in 1989. I don't see it on the Wikipedia page, which is why I'm saying it here.
