exactly. That is not really desirable. Also I think there is a ruleset that is just not really applied by most. That is problematic because it allows for people without good intentions to be strict marking up some students while being lenie

yeah, but they didn't get rid of the mess, they kind of made it harder for German-learners to pronounce a written word (in comparison to the post-reform federal german spelling). i.e. "Fuß" vs swiss "Fuss" Swiss spe

As a german, what I prefer about english spelling: * You do not capitalize Nouns in your Sentences which is means I don't have to analyse the lexical Structure of a Sentence while writting stuff. Stuff that is hard in English but rarel

I think the pypi folks just don't have the resources / capacity to implement this. With appropriate funding this could have been done (development efforts wouldn't be that big, but probably operational costs for the build far

underrated comment. pypi could probably generate a lot of wheels. In fact, `pip` generates wheels from packages it downloades before installing them, so wheels can be generated for a lot of packages already directly from sdist. Why it isn&#

So here in Germany they will often call you back on a land-line to confirm the order (and to have a verified phone number associated with the order) pretty sure that's keeping fraud down. Susequent orders don't require this anymor

I agree on all points which pains me because I like the idea of functional programming and find it pretty. At least for smaller programs.

Overall most people are friendly in almost all communities, at least if you avoid community-defining topics. So most interactions with haskellers have been friendly. But I had a number of relevant interactions that were Fairly hostile and I

Yeah you exemplify my point. None of what you wrote contradicts that examples could be given in the docs. But defending the lack of documentation kind of shows why haskell will not see much adoption. Also, rust for example is much more rich

I think when framing it as a chicken and the egg problem, haskell communities take on it is that you don't need a nest for the chicken to hatch in. Brutalist Software engineering.

I am the person that would be the one most likely to adopt haskell in the company I work in. Now, I don't and I won't even though I used it for several pet projects and I would say have learned a lot of haskell and associated patt

I think never have I written generic code for summing up numbers AND concatenating strings. Even the Haskell people would agree I think. So the design problem is in overloading `+` for string and list concatenation in Python in the first pl

German here, we also have our fair share of experimentation on children in schools.. From what I have learned while reading about pedagocial reforms, most arguments don't really treat the student body as a diverse set of people, rathe

We have that in Germany with regards to Science subjects in grade 5-7 (depending on the state / region). So roughly speaking there is a class about science topics where children would learn about things that would normally be taught in

Yes and no. At the start of an epidemic the excess mortality is not yet measurable, its within the variation of normal deaths, and the "official" numbers of corona deaths (people who die after having been tested positive) are not

This document provides, especially towards the end, some valuable opinions. The technology-advice is really bland or maybe overfitted to specific use cases.

Actually, in the pandemic it becomes a lot more irrelevant. It's not like the cause of a single death is very relevant when people die left and right.

If its relevant to the people he interacted with, it will surely be shared with them. No need to put it into an obituary.

the corona virus (similar to the HI virus) has an envelope which is a lipid bilayer, there are viruses without an envelope. Now you may think that a virus with an envelope is more stable than viruses without, but the contrary is the case. o
