There exist very accurate tests for autism, but /getting/ a diagnosis can be difficult. A teacher spotted autistic symptoms in me back when I was ten and recommended I get tested. …

The classic C/C++ versions are recursive, and using the STL, c++'s quick sort looks very similar to the functional one. From cppreference.com: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/vie…

There do exist object-oriented functional languages (Ocaml). Functional vs OOP is a false dichotomy, though a very common one. I prefer to use functional techniques in imperative l…

> A language that is brief and concise gives you fewer opportunities to make mistakes I don't think that's necessarily true. Look at brainfuck! But in all seriousness, dynamically …

How about: def move_pos(x): if random() > 0.3: return x + 1 return x def move_cars(positions): return map(move_pos, positions) I do not believe that functional programming benefits…

I called "bar" with " " to demonstrate that you can bind an rvalue-ref to an rvalue-ref, not to suggest that's how it should be called.

At least "forwarding" specifies "for use in perfect forwarding", but it must be made clear that this term refers to the syntactic phenomena and they are not distinct from rvalue re…

I did not mean "any rvalue-reference" and bind to "any l- or rvalue", but that you can have an "int &&", "int& &&", "const int& &&", and even "int&& &&". I updated my comment to sa…

Not a bad article, but I'm so sick of the term "universal references". Perhaps useful for explaining things to the uninitiate, but a more technical understanding requires the knowl…

This was my thought as well. Sherlock's method can be seen as a special case of the scientific method that focuses on gathering all the facts before making your HYPOTHESIS. (You ca…

Nope. See the bottom item on the FAQ: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/FAQ#are-plugin-authors...

They'll work just fine, by being "transpiled".

The most popular neovim feature (based on reddit's reactions) seems to be job control, although not enough people are using it. You can start an asynchronous job via `jobstart('nam…

You want either mem_fn (C++11) or mem_fun. http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional

> The sort of immutable container logic that people associate with FP is against the nature of C++... My argument is that C++, a multi-paradigm language, benefits from not being bo…

Technically, those are free functions defined on strings, not members functions of the class string. But also: std::to_string http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/t…

This particular feature isn't offered by anyone else, so I would not write a program with it and force anyone else who wanted to compile the code to use an unsupported, bleeding ed…

> Having said that, it sounds like if I just followed your advice above I may get the same results as I get from listening to the tracks getsomeheadspace provides. Perhaps. Some li…

They seriously want you to pay for meditation? That's absolute bull crap. The best advice I've ever gotten for meditation: Just sit. Make it at least 15 minutes. Maintain good post…

What a wonderful piece of programming history! This deserves more up-votes. How many programmers are alive today who can speak about their experiences in computer science in the 60…

Because they don't do the same thing. The Haskell code tests if that last char was a space and returns b or toupper(b). The C code checks if the current char is an alpha, then chec…

I suspect offerings like that will be rolled out within the next year or two, if all goes well.

You're right. I had misread your post.
