I'd recommend people read this discussion of linked list vs array performance: https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/#an-obligat... TLDR; linked lists' theoretical perfo…

The too good to be true alarm bells in my head are ringing. There's almost no way it delivers on all of the features listed here. Gonna need a lot of proof to back all of this up.

I'd say there's also a big difference in the sort of correctness that static types guarantee vs the correctness that tests give you. Tests, to borrow some phrasing from Donald Rums…

Always good to treat a religion of over a billion people as completely monolithic in their beliefs. This certainly isn't an anti-muslim trope.

There are many Christian people and denominations who don't promote homophobia. I have no problem with them.

Oh, for sure I still love monads. I miss Haskell's do syntax in every other language. I think it's a great design pattern that starts popping up constantly once you know where to l…

I used to be a big Haskell programmer. While I still love the language, I've really come around to the idea that strictly evaluated functional languages like F# or OCaml are the be…

Almost all creative works make the majority of their money in the first few years from their release, if not the first year itself. Movies, TV, etc. will still be extremely profita…

How else did we get our current extreme copyright lengths? Were regular people advocating for this? Or was it for wealthy corporations and their shareholders? Did anyone responsibl…

Revert copyright back to the original 28 years and Disney's increasing domination of the media market becomes less of a concern. Of course this probably won't happen because the US…

To me Dart is pretty disappointing. Modern languages like Swift and Rust have shown the power of incorporating functional features like sum types and pattern matching. Dart just fe…

The US is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. If we want to make providing disabled people with fulfilling jobs that pay a good wage a priority, we are entirely cap…

It's more likely that they use it to depress the wages of abled workers. This sort of unskilled labor isn't exactly scarce enough to cause meaningful competitive pressure like you …

Very skeptical that this is due to Amazon's generosity and not just because they can tap into an underpaid and underemployed workforce. They don't seem to be giving these people ac…

Please don't use autistic or OCD as slurs.

Typically with crypto you want to stick with one major industry standard implementation that is strenuously verified. It's probably more concerning if everyone's using their own.
