Yes, working directly on the server is definately fragile and fraught with all kinds of dangers. I try to avoid it as much as possible, but it is very handy having the option there as a last resort.

True. If you are going purely functional I guess you wouldn't have much state to inspect. Plus in a stateless web server you generally want to avoid keeping state around on the server. I remember one time, it was actually with Clojure,

With CL if you have a bug on your web server you can just connect a repl into the running server, inspect the state of the system, modify that state and update code on the fly if necessary.

I did at one point consider trying to hook into my web cam so I could feed prerecorded footage of me being awake allowing me to nap without anyone noticing. This was at a point where meetings were compulsory, excessive and completely pointl

I struggled to get Flow working on FreeBSD. Typescript worked straight away, so I just went with it.

Elm is nice. Really really nice. It make it very intuitive and straightforward to write well architectured front end code. The compiler tells you straight away when something is wrong. I have recently started playing with Bucklescript and a

This can be dangerous if over used. It can be very tempting to quickly pull in a 'left join blah' to grab some fields you may need. But that blah view could be hiding some massive performance sapping beast. When it comes to optimi

Given it is still in Alpha, how stable have you found it to be?

I disagree. My phone is completely full, every new app I install requires going through and deciding which apps I need to delete to make space for it. Large apps get chopped pretty much straight away unless they are exceptional.

Indeed. Idris aims to be "PacMan complete". As in it should be perfectly feasible to write PacMan using Idris.

Whats worse is when colleagues at work can look over your shoulder and see everything you are considering buying. Luckily for me my purchasing habits are pretty mundane, but I can imagine this could get quite embarrassing for people shoppin

You would need a cursory knowledge of ml to be able to understand it, but you can implement the examples in plenty of other languages. The principles taught are fairly universal. (At least for the first half, I haven't made it beyond t

Whilst being a great book, you are definitely correct in your assertion that this book is not agnostic!

Idris has compile time bounds checking. It is a pretty special case though, you have to jump through a number of hoops using dependent types to get it.

From what I have heard Alpha Go was roughly 10 points ahead by the end game, but didn't then bother maintaining the lead. In other words, it was aiming for a 0.5 point lead. Ke Jie would have known he was losing, it is a credit to him

I was under the impression that it was because humans learned to control fire, meaning we could eat softer food which altered the human teeth. However, 7.2m years massively predates our current understanding of when fire was first utilised.

Not necessarily. If you are ahead in points you have a higher chance of winning by playing defensive moves and strengthening your position. When behind you need to play riskier moves which could win you a lot of points, but could also risk

I was going to say the same thing. Why? For me at least, Lisp is by far the most enjoyable language to program in. Decades of my life spent fighting with class heirarchies and long compile times were all just in vain!

The problem is that what joins to what differs depending on the context for what you are looking for. Sometimes you join an order to supplier, other times it will be to customer and other times it will be to a list of products. Sometimes, a
