Hey dude. Good on you for trying. Sexism is often extremely deeply rooted. So much so that sexist people don’t even recognize without someone else pointing it out. It takes YEARs of self reflection and even then, you’re still going to catch

Of course there is a reason it is this way. In lower level languages, compilers need to know the type and size of the type at compile time. This holds true even for languages with looser typing like C. You are not going to get strict types

Yeah. The error type requires so much boilerplate that I honestly thought I was stupid and doing something wrong. But nope. Just horrific amounts of boilerplate. Then people who don’t want to engage with ThisError and Anyhow do bullshit hac

That was in a time when people didn’t envision every person in the first world having access to their entire lives at their finger tips. I would tend to agree that today’s apps are… dogshit. Without a doubt, the vast majority of today workl

Good question Runtime immutability is brain dead Haskell doesn’t “solve maintainability” even remotely. Most people leaving Haskell say maintainability is worse Haskell doesn’t solve parallelism as Haskell devs claim Haskell is not beautifu

I haven’t played valorant, so I don’t know about them, but what I can say is that definitely other anti-cheats are highly ineffective (VAC being one that is highly ineffective), with blatant cheaters going years without ever being caught. H

It offers none of those things and provably doesn’t have more robust code. Maintainable code? I dunno. From what I’ve seen, FP is much worse for changing when you have shit deep in your call stack. I wouldn’t call that maintainable. More re

>it is much more likely to be correct It is not. FP programs measurably have at least as many defects as non-FP programs. There is literally no reason to subject yourself and, worse, your users, to the garbage of FP.

I tried several years ago, before mechanical keyboards were the norm, and most keyboards you couldn’t even swap keycaps around. Anyway. I generally agree. Switching it extremely difficult. And logging in to a Dvorak Remote Desktop is insane

Ironically, slippery slope argumentation is a favourite style of kids. Unfortunately, your argument is a well known fallacy and carries no weight.

For the record, if you do not know what a dict actually is, and how it works, it is impossible to use it effectively. Although if your claim is then that most programmers do not care about being effective, that I would tend to agree with gi

Gluing together premade components is not “from the ground up” by most people’s definition. People are looking at the ground up for a clear picture of what the thing is actually doing, so masking the important part of what is actually happe

These people win elections and make news cycles. They are not an “ignorable, small minority”. For the record, ensuring that those who wish to genocide LGBT+ people are not the majority voice on the internet is absolutely not “a worthless ma

lol dude. Nobody said that 4chan links are posted to HN, just that 4chan definitely raids HN. 4chan is very well known for brigading. It is also well known that using 4chan as well as a number of other locations, such as discord, to post li

Certain boards most definitely raid various HN threads. Specifically, every political or science thread that makes it, is raided by 4chan. 4chan also regularly pushes anti/science and anti-education agenda threads to the top here, alon

Nah. HN is not the same as these others. TikTok. Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. All of these have their algorithms specifically curated to try to keep you angry. YouTube outright ignores your blocks every couple months, and no matter how many

You have no control over how much state you “need”. A complex application will probably have more. An easy application will probably have less. If the modern web has taught us anything at all, it should be that trying to fit small pieces of

Jesus. Guys. State and change are not literally Hitler. Changes to state are what computers are made for. You will not write bug free programs. Haskell demonstrably does not reduce bugs over and above languages that allow direct state chang

You can keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. I am gleeful to respond to your nonsense and call it out for the lie that it is.

There “might” be a need to *selectively* censor people expressing illegitimate “science”. Especially when they knowingly do it knowingly. What Facebook does though, is horrific. They are not just letting illegitimate science have a platform

Stop sharing legitimate news that comes with outright disinformation. You’re not being taken down for the legitimate take. You are being taken down for the other wild assertions, conspiracy theories and lies that you cook up with them. You

Why are you so angry? Where did I say that flat earthers should be silenced? You desperately need to remove yourself from communities of perpetual victimhood. All I said was that they are not legitimately questioning the science, because th

I didn’t say someone should be able to stop them from saying their stupidity. What I said was that they are not legitimately questioning the science.

There is. People saying “the sun is the main driver of climate change “are not legitimately questioning the science”. Flat earthers are not “legitimately questioning the science” This is called JAQing off. “Just Asking Questions”. They’re n

None of this stuff was censored from reasonable sources. Don’t know what to tell ya. If you share breitbart hot takes, expect possible takedown for disinformation.

Taxis and other ride shares are easier to electrify than literally every car on the planet. Everyone using a taxi cuts on traffic more than everyone driving a car. Fewer places need to be space wasted with ugly, hot pavement. Taxis service

No. It is the AI enthusiasts that use contrived, often entirely random definitions of “reasoning”. AIs do not “think” in any capacity and are therefore incapable of reasoning. However, if you wish to take “thinking” out of the definition, w
