There’s some studies showing parents of kids in daycare are sick upwards of 90% of the time. I don’t know if it was that much, but when my kids were in daycare, it was definitely A LOT for sure. Work doesn’t provide nearly enough sick time

It absolutely is NOT what humans are doing. When humans write, they are serializing thoughts. Humans (well, most of us. Certainly not AI enthusiasts), are reasoning and thinking. When AI writes, it is following a mathematical pathway to str

Meanwhile, we’ve tried AI products just for assigning incidents and are forced to turn them off because of how shitty of a job they do.

Computers still aren’t writing essays. They are stringing words together using copied data. If they were writing essays, I would suggest that it wouldn’t be so ridiculously easy to pick out the obviously AI articles everywhere.

And my point was that immutability isn’t granting any performance here. It is, in fact, causing a performance detriment for no reason other than “a medium dudebro wrote an article that included the words beautiful and elegant, and our engin

Interestingly, medium is the place pushing idiotic “always runtime immutable or ur dumb” nonsense, resulting in this blog post because people such as yourself are eating it up on the basis of moronic bullshit like “beautiful”. >what are

This shit is all lies dude. In measurements like this, they constrain mutable structures to the same memory layouts and ideas as immutable ones and say “see! Sometimes kinda close!” But this is just bog standard FP community lies.

by wredue 2y ago
Because the measurably do none of those things. There is no performance benefit that immutable structures offer that cannot be had by mutable ones. It is asinine to assert otherwise, especially when literally every single measurement ever d

I love the developers are seeing that they deserve to be paid for their work and that corporations do not deserve to make money hand over fist for free. More developers, especially “open source” ones, need to be charging corporations for th

Games in general have been a target of hate base voice chat. You get these people everywhere.

Yeah. But people will be like “Java sucks. Ruby/Python/Haskell is the shit”

They are propagating propaganda pieces in the very comment that you’re asking about their ignorance of these topics. It isn’t that they don’t understand how disinformation and propaganda is powerful and problematic. It is that they actively

And that’s the way it *should* be. When Steven Harper unilaterally attempted to empower private data to be offshored, it would have been an absolute nightmare. North American security is bad enough as it is. Imagine handing all your health,

Spending is not socialism. Spending also ballooned under Trump and Trump is most definitely not a socialist (aside from socializing losses) (spending increased *before* the pandemic).

You get sent to X jail for criticism of Musk on X. It happens on X itself. In general, I agree with pulling out of a country that doesn’t exercise freedom of speech (as in criticism, not threats). But the hypocrisy is somewhat funny. There’

Android store is the only one anyone gives a shit about, and even there, to suggest that android is anything but a monopolized store is you living in a land of rainbows and unicorns We are already seeing it on PC where epic is buying titles

What a cluster fuck that would become. I can see it now: needing to have 15 different stores with subscriptions to get apps who all have different deals with different apps for exclusivity. No thanks.

It’s an ergonomic split keyboard. I have one. It is nice to type on. That said, I personally find that having so little keys is a problem. I like typing on it, but when I am doing heavy sysadmin stuff, it is not a pleasure to use. You have

Eh. Once you start using imports, python slows down dramatically. So I guess it really just depends what your scripts use.

I’ve worked on “check out” code bases very similar to this. I mean. Nothing so insane as scripts patching class files in to jars Willy nilly, but it seems the “just check out a file so nobody else can work on it” thing is a “common” “soluti

For the life of me, I will never understand how developers, of all people, see “just take ownership of system directories, which we will relentlessly pollute” as acceptable behavior for homebrew. Flabbergasted.

I agree. Just letting you know that, most likely, the people you are learning about “side effects” from don’t actually mean “side effect” in the colloquial sense of “state changes beyond the expectation”. They mean literally any change at a

I don’t really care about the opinions of Haskell coders, as they are probably the only programmers on earth that have more terrible dogmatic ideals than uncle Bob does.

I mean. It’s not like people pushing “side effects” (read: literally any change at all) aren’t also being overtly dogmatic, and writing utterly terrible code. Uncle bobs book didn’t age well, but neither will the dogmatic stances on immutab

There is no world where the added time here for the developers is with the trade off, and if you look through my history, you will see that I largely reject “dev time trade off” as a notion a company should ever seriously entertain as a sig
