There was an experiment conducted on HN a while back where a AI generated post by GPT-3 was tested on the HN community. A few people realized that the post was generated by AI and …

I think this is a consequence of negative karma as well. Not sure. If I am shadow banned deliberately by Dang then the commenter above is right.

Negative karma. I'll have to switch accounts.

Great analogy, but analogies can be deceptive, because while the snail can coexist with the tiger, for every two animals that coexist hundreds still have to fail the natural select…

I don't agree with scholarship on this. Race is just a word with a blurry definition it does not mean that these categories are non-existent. A continuous spectrum of skin tone and…

>That's not really true. A pure function can still be coupled to a particular internal data representation. By stateless I mean unchanging state. The existence of a function defini…

Please. There's nothing wrong with my ego. I'm not bragging about anything. I am simply explaining to you my reasoning. I think you need help with differentiating. I know some good…

That's not mutating anything. It's not a true setter.

>I don't think there is nothing in OOP that "forces" you to explicitly mutate state. People just happen to do it that way, even if there was no need for that. I never said it force…

I think you missed my point. I'm saying when you aren't aggressive people tend not to want to intellectually engage with you. People are emotional creatures and what doesn't excite…

From a purely structural standpoint there is no risk. But you are talking about something different. You use the word "confusion." Confusion is an organizational issue that can be …

Thanks. But this is the internet. I use a bit of aggression experimentally at times. Overall though, it sounds confrontational but I'm actually pretty factual and I never attacked …

You can't talk about modularity without touching on shared mutable state. Shared mutable state is the fundamental primitive that eliminates modularity. You get rid of this, you're …

All right. I'm wrong. Didn't know this. Thanks for linking. Still can't exactly fault me on that. It's not easy to find the contextual blog post if this post doesn't easily say it'…

they use the term breaking down a monolith and "architecture" so from that you can derive that it's literally about using an entire VM or computer to enforce boundaries. Folders an…

I think it's kind of bad that we have this trend to use hardware to enforce modularity. If it's a performance issue, sure break it up into more hardware. If it's just code modulari…

I agree with everything you said. To address the part we disagree though: >On one point I disagree: " In both OOP and procedural programming your designs can never have this level …

> You chose to 1) Use one that has legislation protecting it so as to make your analogy worthless and 2) use veterans specifically as if you deserve to have a title protected like …

How would you properly learn this craft? What resources would you recommend or look into?

It's not low at all. It is also 100% relevant. It's called misusing titles which is the topic at hand. In some cases it's ok in some cases it's not ok. I have not insulted veterans…

>Then for some reason, the SV bubble latched on to "software engineer," without understanding that it was supposed to be a joke. It started as a joke? I had no idea. Is there a def…

Don't call me low that's rude. I find it low whenever a commenter on HN decides to be call someone low simply because they disagree. You're using words to twist my statement as if …

I disagree. It's blurry and not so clear cut but certain ranks need to be earned otherwise it's fraud. For example what if I called myself a Navy Seal and combat veteran even thoug…

I've found that FP using function composition or other higher order forms of function like composition mitigates the design problem that you and many others complain about. Essenti…

The hard truth is that all the changes you made have little impact. The worst case scenario for species and the environment is pretty much on track to play out. But we don't like t…
