Molok is the name used in the Bible for a Canaanite deity that the Israelites were forbidden to "suffer their seed to pass through the fire to". Details are scarce, but this is usu…

But once you've accepted unchecked exceptions (and paid the cost of the having them), it just doesn't make sense to only use them only for bugs. For example, it is better to try: x…

How do you propose handling an OOB index in an array?

It might be interesting to compare them if you'd care to share.

Here is a typical example (from Genesis Rabbah) > And Cain rose up against his brother Abel . [...] With what did he kill him? R. Simeon said: He killed him with a staff: And a you…

Firefox/Linux: the cursor constantly tracks to the left. You have to push the mouse to the right to keep it still. Works in Chromium though.

No, where does it go? Are the big editors unsuccessful?

Ugly maybe, but they're do kinda combine the advantages of both. They have the portability and reproducibility advantages of static linking, while still letting you take them apart…

What do you mean by "source-based distribution"?

It can also cut the other way though. Bugs can be introduced, compatibility can be broken, users can not find the library in their package manager, or they may find too new of a ve…

Historically imperative languages did have tagged unions (Algol, Pascal, Ada, Modula). Their disappearance is mostly because of OOP's takeover I think. It was thought that a tagged…

You can also put a Readme in any folder and it will show up the same way. You usually wouldn't want those up top while browsing the files though. So it's also about consistency.

Writing, as opposed to speaking, by its nature conveys a degree of anonymity. Historically, anonymous writers are very common.

To emphasize where the topology comes in since it wasn't clear to me at first: the important bit is the saddles. Just before a saddle goes under, there are two important properties…

I like Noah's Ark a lot.

It's slowed down a lot. There's been a total of 8 posts and 50 comments since 2019. There were 32 posts just in 2017.

Not really on topic, but what happened to LtU anyway?

One way is that it can handle functions like return : Monad m => a -> m a where m occurs only in the outputs. There's no input arg you could hang a vtable off of.

I've thought about this too, but keeping positional args. The basic data type would be a "blob", consisting of a struct part and a tuple part.

It doesn't. isOdd('') => false isOdd(null) => false isOdd(2n) => TypeError: Cannot convert a BigInt value to a number But even if it did, the same line of reasoning leads to the ab…
