Maybe the code base contains a bunch of edge cases where they assume 140 and trying to do anything else causes crashes or other poorly defined misbehavior. (Not what you were talki…

My guess is that if they make a general purpose programming AI then all other jobs will also be nonexistent besides being famous and doing YouTube reviews of movies. My thought is …

Haskell for lazy FP, pattern matching, and monads; ocaml for strict FP and a crazy expressive module system; C# for industry OO; lua for dynamic language and prototype inheritance;…

It seems that a few years ago several big name tech companies found themselves at the limit of what they could do with the c#/java style languages. But they weren't willing to go b…

I actually found myself factoring my code differently after learning lambda calc. It at the very least seemed to result in better code (c#) so I would say there is practical benefi…

I might go a step further and append "an appropriately implemented macro". Just because something has a good name doesn't mean it's not filled with crazy. Otherwise I totally agree…

This is really emphasized in things like dmfea and other failure mode analysis documents or regulated industry. They want you to document the likelihood, your ability to recover fr…

I like the way you're thinking, but that sort of thing probably doesn't get past a committee. "Hey we might not be able to think of an application but that doesn't mean our users w…

Also worth considering that our processors are handling billions of ops per second. One in a million might be happening all the time even for one user.
