It is not a popular interpretation here Or supported by the very study you cited. In fact, that study takes a very different tack (again, their study suggests the issue is with power imbalances that form within marriage due to instituti

Well, the other key is so obvious: be nice to each other. The couples I see that fall apart complain about each other behind each other's backs to their friends. They're snarky, disrespectful, when they fight they fight dirty.

Literally right from the paper: Women are more likely than men to initiate divorces, but women and men are just as likely to end non-marital relationships, according to a new study that will be presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of th

Why are we to believe this is sex-assymetric? I'd be amazed if there weren't as many married men who were resentful because their wives have changed, whether that means becoming less thin, focused on career, children, less intere

This is in the Style section. It's part of their "Modern Love" column. This type of soft journalism had always been part of newspapers. If you don't like it, don't read those sections. I have a subscription to the

"not uncommon" is far far from "common". If you're writing your own malloc replacement you're pretty deep into the weeds of high performance computing. Heck even just deciding to replace the stock implementat

Writing a custom replacement for malloc is relatively common. You... can't be serious. That's common to you?

You're taking issue with material that is covered in every haskell 101 course worth it's salt (how to understand the properties of foldl and foldr). Oh, I'm not "taking issue". This isn't personal. It's

I disagree. I contend that most of the time folks ignore the evaluation strategy for eagerly evaluated languages because they're simply easier to reason about. That strikes me as objectively true on its face and I believe most Haskell

by zzalpha 9y ago
The semantics of the program can be more thoroughly encoded in Haskell's far more powerful type system. So if the program type checks you're far more likely to have a correct program than in a language like C++ or Java.

If you know where you're creating too many thunks, and you force them as you create them, they don't accumulate. Translation: if you've internalized the way Haskell code is compiled and executes, so that you can easily reas

I wish the problem was simply detecting and isolating space leaks. My experience is that actually fixing them can be incredibly difficult, hence my comment about needing to understand the gory details about how the runtime evaluates lazy ex

but it's not that different than what you'd get with other programming languages. Until you have to solve a (maddeningly common) space leak issue. That's a problem unique to lazily evaluated languages (basically Haskell) a

This will continue until they figure out how to get more high value companies to sign contracts. So they can further concentrate their revenues? I'm sorry, no, that's exactly the worst thing they can do. I'll refer you to

Sure, there are "speculators" and almost exclusively speculation is foolish. And yet they do it, and in doing so are driving up home prices in many markets across the globe... which is the core thesis of this article. Your style

It seems counter-intuitive, but read on industrial engineering practices around optimizing an assembly line and you'll see it shown all around. Development isn't an assembly line, and the fact you'd use that analogy says a

It means you give that top developer the protection and time she needs to get her shit done. But not to the exclusion of all else. Again: a team is a team . I, as a manager, need the team to functional optimally. If one developer is

You can think of your job as "They asked me to do X and I'm going to do X and after that the rest of my 40 hours don't matter." Or, "I'm going to do as much as I possibly can in 40 hours." The healthy an

A dichotomy is a claim that someone or something is either A or B, and it can only be A or B and not something in between. With that definition in mind: To summarize: in general, extroverts get energy from social interaction, and introvert
