I do in the UK (use a desktop for digital services), but I will need a phone next year after my current contract ends since employers like to have a chat via phone after applications.

One of the other comments about continuation passing style seems likely. Basically, all you do is define a function (fun (arg1, arg...) -> result) and invoke it (the exact same way you define a callback with .map(() => result) in Java

Android is pretty open as far as I know. You can even run Linux distributions on it with Termux - although its future is looking unstable with Android's new OS versions changing the services it depends on. I think (guessing) the main t

Whoops, I didn't mean to sound like a moral anti-realist (who believes what one person takes as morality is equally valid as another's) but re-reading my comment may give that impression. It might indeed be nonsense to talk about

It really depends on where your morality comes from because historical perceptions of morality, in different places, have varied wildly. Some of those cultures reasonably take morality from religion. Your phrase that "none are moral is

F# and OCaml are kind of great for this in my opinion. With F# in particular, the code project/workspace has a root .fsproj file where you list the dependency order of files. The topmost file cannot depend/call anything from any o

The key comparison cost is real. I remember coding a balanced binary tree of integers once in OCaml and wondering why the standard library's implementation was 2x faster. The reason was that the tree I had coded used polymorphic compar

I don't really mind Roc-lang not being mentioned since Koka is referenced with its novel idea of functional-but-in-place and Perceus Reference Counting which are the theoretical basis of Roc's implementation[0]. So it doesn't

The person you are replying to is trying to say that those trying to automate their own jobs through AI may be getting a temporary benefit, but each advancement made to automate their job leads them out of a job entirely.

I can corroborate (for any lurkers and onlookers) that the modern state having a monopoly on violence is an often-accepted idea. For example, this is professor Wael Hallaq of Columbia University describing some defining characteristics of t

It is kind of odd wording though to speak of "a physics subreddit" since it seems like it would make sense for there to be only one (" the physics subreddit" instead of " a physics subreddit"). That's no

That cmd-tab behaviour sounds similar to GNOME (haven't tried other desktop environments) on Linux. There, you can use alt-tab to cycle through different types of applications but if you want to cycle through different instances of the

I’m sorry to hear of your pain but it’s good to hear you’re managing to cope with it. Buddhism is an interesting philosophy definitely. It had an influence on David Hume’s bundle theory (that an object is just a collection of properties, in

Corroborating the first point with an example. "There is a story that Buddha once, at the climax of a philosophical discussion, broke into gesture-language as an Oxford philosopher may break into Greek: he took a flower in his hand, an

I might have a useful suggestion. I've implemented a Piece Tree (VS Code style) and a Rope in a functional language (found the Rope much faster at everything but I made a few adjustments to the structure so it's not a straightforw

Humans are creatures with feelings as well. People believe exposure to certain messages (like advertising) influences people, whether consciously or no. Reminding of the downsides certainly can have an effect, even if that knowledge is alre

I haven't found them useful in my experience either, but they seem to have a real indispensable utility in some cases like algebra for simulations. At least, that is what I gathered from Matthew Crews who has the "FastFSharp"

> I would say both the audience and the playwright operate in a symbiosis; they serve one another, and they both have responsibilities in the matter. You may enjoy reading R. G. Collingwood’s The Principles of Art. Here is a relevant exc
