He uses F# because windows and teaching, i have seen him advocate to use Ocaml on unix systems.

Depends what system you are on? It might make use of libkeyring if available on linux for example, i prefer not to save passwords on browsers and use password managers.

It works in almost all repls.. I do the same in emacs with ocaml, racket, haskell etc.

Go is also similar to languages like limbo/newsqueak. None of those are popular(many might not have even heard of them). So part of success definitely goes to being successfully marketed as a google product.

What's your point? The CA certificate is used during signing part of the hash calculation.

by xfer 8y ago
You're right, keyboard shortcuts only become useful when you spend most of your time in that tool. If the tool is only used occasionally, i too prefer GUIs, because they are easy to get started with.

That's not how TLS works, your browser has a list of CA(certificate authority)s it can trust, unless a CA gone rogue(which has happened before), you can't change traffic and make it appear from someone else(read on public-key sign

Are you sure arch distributes them? Like oracle jre, proprietary packages are downloaded during installation, i think debian non-free works similarly.

#emacs is an off-topic channel, if you have any questions(that you can't find just by googling), then it's best to use stackexchange/reddit.

I use it for gpg, ssh(gpg-agent) and u2f. These are official applications that you can install on the device that does the above. It doesn't show the operation, just the website trying to access.

And you know that, how? Have you seen them fight against other region teams that failed to qualify?

You keep talking about "better" editor, keybindings doesn't make an editor, emacs is as capable editor as vi is. Then you go on to talk about how spacemacs is so much better, what? All it does is add someway to structure your

Use your package manager.

It can happen if you happen to install a recent compiler and that package manager has not done the work(probably changing the bounds) to update in opam repo. > I don't understand how language developers don't prioritize package

You can't downcast it to anything you want, it returns an Option, void pointers in C are not certainly the same, it's unsafe.

Maybe this would work when facebook shipped its own browser, as it stands you can patch firefox/chromium to extract the data, you are not making any more copies than the browser would have unpatched.

> Then we choose to use `IO` (i.e. a monad) to implement that solution. Yes, we are in agreement, however i am arguing that haskell had to use monads here otherwise it would be very difficult to use. > As long as we teach monads as if

by xfer 8y ago
It seems that you have built the IO type and it's monadic properties into the language? I am talking about the concrete type of IO has and how using it, without the monads as abstraction would be so cumbersome that haskell "needed
