This is very fair, to respect someone's wishes with regards to how their image is used. I'm sad to see this comment (at the time of posting) be downvoted. It doesn't imply guilt on the author of this interesting article or ot

I follow the same principle in my code, but doesn't the "functional core, imperative shell" pattern already push the async stuff out of the core? What would be an example of an async operation that doesn't perform a side

Reading The Sleepwalkers by Arthur Koestler may be interesting for you. Science and cosmology has progressed tremendously because of people like Kepler who have had right conclusions despite incorrect methods. One relevant excerpt: “A phras

I do mention that in the second paragraph. My understanding is that most [0] games don't get super-substantial updates making the game leaps and bounds better than it was in its initial state, the way continuously-developed software do

The author posted a comment here about that, and that this article is about https://benji.so/ . Sounds like HN comments were persuasive in releasing the app that triggered the article. Comment: https://news.ycomb

In my case, I was talking about technical things like data structures and IMGUI/RMGUI, which I don't think anyone feels motivated to trick others about. :)

It reminded me of that quote wrongly attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto (who created Mario and Zelda and other classic games). "A rushed game is bad forever, but a delayed one may eventually be good." Of course it may not apply to sof

I'm sorry that happened to you. The comments here are generally high quality and I've learned quite a lot from them, but there are things I've learned from experience that go against conventional wisdom here. Although not as

I thought there were real people who would be there instead of a chat bot. With my assumption/reading being wrong, I'm strongly inclined to agree with you.

I think the issue isn't the potential forking, but that the potential fork may become a dominant and closed one. If one values the web being somewhat open/less monopolistic, an open source web browser would be more appealing. I ha

What's your reasoning for them avoiding Win13? It's just too large a number or something to do with Friday the 13th?

I just use simple tail-recursion in an event loop to help manage state. let rec eventLoop state = let input = getInput () let newState = update input state drawState state; eventLoop newState The update function takes an existin

I think, because of the mention about controlling mutability/side-effects, "object" in that post means OOP-style objects which mutable state. It's not an issue with immutable objects/structs (or I guess "record

You're right. I didn't notice that, but I guess the initialisation would be the caller function's responsibility or there would be a wrapper function with a default initialisation value (maybe with the recursive example neste

by zogrodea 2y ago
I think recursion is easier to read than C-style for-loops because you don't need to memorise syntax. for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {...} vs ```let rec func_name counter = if counter = 5 then print "blast off!" else fun

I think treating people for what they intended and actually tried to do to do (cheat on their partner), even if they didn't manage to carry out their intent because of external circumstances is fair. I think that's a common opinio

Am I the only one who feels suspicious about this and would hesitate to trust the persecuters? Maybe that's not a entirely a reasonable reaction (I just woke up about 10 minutes ago) but it's how I feel currently and I'm wond

Oh, I thought the user was suggesting using just ",nds" instead of "comma,nds". That makes more sense.

by zogrodea 2y ago
I think "comma_nds" ("commands" if you remove the underscore) makes the pun mkre obvious. I didn't get it at first thought, thinking of the .nds file extension for Nintendo DS ROMs.

It's a reasonable request. Readers who see the charity to be named named may also donate to them, and seeing such a claim would make readers think twice and perhaps make their donations elsewhere.

I’m sorry to hear about your experiences. It might not be the nicest thing to hear, but I would recommend getting a job in any field that can support you and your family, and looking for a dev job afterwards. I’ve had trouble finding a job

Some implementations of Standard ML (SML/NJ and MLton being the two I know of) support an extension to the language for vector (immutable array) literals. That would look like: #[1, 2, 3] It's still not a feature you can expect al

The last paragraph hits close because I've experienced a similar issue recently. It turns out some component library was responsible for excessive rerenders even when idle (eating up the daily quota of read operations on some database

Unrelated, but I'm impressed by how fast browsers can be in some cases. I once created a HTML file with just a start/end HTML tag and 50k (unstyled) button elements in between, curious to see how it performs. I tried the same in F

I can't speak for others, but I never really understood the benefits of functional programming when my language pretty much allowed unbounded mutation anywhere. I would say there's a chance for impure languages to impede you in le

I can't say, but with a standardised and agreed-upon definition of a word/phrase, there should be much fewer ambiguities than otherwise. It probably doesn't matter quite as much what that name is as long as everyone knows wha
