    Haha how about no. Why the fuck should I follow your rules when you falsely accused me of an attack. I didn't launch a single attack. Literally cite a source.

    Case in point, This guy turned what was just fact checking into something personal. See, it's not about being civil. That's just the way people like to think they are. The reality …

    Nix has a multitude of drawbacks the biggest being learnability.

    I see no personal attack. Technically speaking.

    Welp most of my accounts don't have much karma to even downvote. I have some that went past 800 but I abandoned them because I like to tell people how I disagree.

    I've been here for over 10. I've had accounts with lots of karma generated by simply agreeing with everything I read or just commenting with useless side suggestions. T I've experi…

    For the south bay it's not 3 months of the year, 100F lasts for like 2-3 weeks at most (actually realistically it's more like 95-100). It's the same for socal. Socal has about 2-3 …

    Technically everything in the universe can be modelled by math. If it isn't modelled yet we can make something up to model it. Math is just axioms and theorems so yeah, you're not …

    Of course but bay is still one of the best in the world. Also the bay encompasses more than SF, while SF and daly city have notoriously foggy weather, the rest of the bay area is q…

    I think the migration out of the bay will make it a more reasonable place to live. We do have some of the best weather in the world. I'm going to gamble on staying. Hopefully this …

    It does. You're completely and utterly wrong. You don't understand. I'll reiterate my example a SQL string is pure. Just like the IO monad is pure. However when you're coding the s…

    I never said it's not pure. Just like how a SQL string in haskell is fully pure. Doesn't change the fact that you're using pure primitives to control a process that is fundamentall…

    Not all aspects of programming can be described by math. Mutations and IO are very critical parts of programming and the two areas where FP breaks down. Even the IO Monad leaks the…

    Comment #24955227

    I disagree with the higher order functions thing. Writing functions that receive other functions as input can lead to over complicated code that's really hard to read. It's literal…
