You're losing all the state since you're not being dropped in the closure where the error happened but in the end of the program. To see the difference use some function counter() …

You can hook into the abi for software that runs in Linux trivially. So why isn't machine code acceptable? When you give the honest answer you see why the majority of languages are…

How else is one meant to read that language doesn't matter? You can hook into anything that runs in Linux since it's abi is rock solid so the excuse of not being able to use the us…

I always find it odd that people say this. If stack doesn't matter than why not start writing machine code again?

(define lol (let ((a 0)) (lambda () (set! a (+ a 1)) a))) Scheme is a functional programming language in the same way python is. The only difference is that it has tail call optimi…

How does one pay a VPN when your country is under sanctions?

This is the point where you need to check your privilege. I used tor when living in a dictatorship to find out things which would destroy the moral fabric of society, such as infor…

There is no such thing as running a relay in freenet. Every user is the same as every other. The size and traffic of your node is literally a setting on the gui. All traffic and da…

Types slow you down. New work is first completed in untyped languages. People start using the work. People complain there aren't types. Types are added. Work is now slow in the lan…

Because the majority of programmes today are uneducated.

No, the majority are not prepared for the absolute obliteration of their ego they will suffer to become a 10x engineer. The problem isn't one of time, ability or whatever ineffable…

Then you're not a 10x engineer and will be filling out your hours in SAP and getting your tickets from Jira. Personally that sounds like a new circle of hell but I've had people as…
