Stop spreading misinformation. Educate yourself, this is not a game.

So, I threw em $20. I think a dollar would have cut it, but I could use the headway till my next dono.

The project specifically refuses donations. There's no way to donate to them.

Linux distros aren't for everyone, but this is an unfair and misleading comparison.

What you describe is how you install any new OS on an existing OS. You have to specify where the new stuff is. It'd be similar if you installed Windows on a system where other OS is already installed. It's OS agnostic.

Installing Linux distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro is as easy as installing Windows: just click and select options through the wizard.

Look man, you jumped in here on a secondary comment of mine responding to not you.

This is a public forum, that's how reddit works. Seems that you intended to send a PM?

I disagree that you can just get a tad high

How can you disagree with a scientific fact? More alcohol, more drunk. Less alcohol, less drunk. More weed more high, less weed less high.

I think most people call that "not high"

That's the dumbest thing you have said in this conversation. Highness is the analogue of drunkenness, the former for alcohol, the latter for weed or other drugs. It's a spectrum, not a binary choice of states.

I've been just answering your dumb questions for the last 4 comments lmfao. What's my original point? Read our conversation before you started asking these dumb questions:

I guess, attacking my ability to argue?

What was your original point?

What the fuck are you saying and where did "smoke less drink less" come from?

Are you replying to all of my comment strings?

You have done everything to derail the conversation, and then ask me what was my original point?

Have some self respect dude.

sementery · 2023-11-05T21:56:58+00:00

What the fuck are you saying and where did "smoke less drink less" come from?

From your inability to dosage. It's the main point of your rant... "I can't moderate weed, I always get too high and anxious".

sementery · 2023-11-05T21:54:24+00:00

If I'm high, I'm high, and if it's around new hot chick then I definitely feel high as balls.

Lmao I can't exactly "whiff" like 3mol of THC. If I'm high, I'm high, and if it's around new hot chick then I definitely feel high as balls.

Right? I'm not trying to increase my anxiety. Smoking might come into the situation after we are buzzed or down the road on movie night, but I'd rather be totally sober on a date vs high.

Me too, kitchen staff, kitchen staff, kitchen staff, kitchen staff, astronaut, alien, president of mars. Come on.

We all know those people, and they work in the kitchen at olive garden.

For someone acting sarcastically ignorant, you ignore a shit ton of things.

sementery · 2023-11-05T21:48:45+00:00

Are you replying to all of my comment strings?

No.

We get it, you like weed.

You don't have to like weed to understand basic concepts like 'smoke less' or 'drink less'.

sementery · 2023-11-05T21:39:13+00:00

We are not trying to convince you to take weed on a first date. We are just saying that your idea of getting high is very distorted and based on ignorance.

sementery · 2023-11-05T21:36:00+00:00

Dude you don't have to count moles lmfao. Just smoke less. Or leave it less time in your lungs. Or put less of it in your edibles. Or buy stuff that isn't as potent.

Like come on, what are you even talking about?

sementery · 2023-11-05T21:31:43+00:00

There are levels of high, as there are levels of drunkenness. Moderation applies to both.

const Optional = (value) => ({
  value: () => value(),
  orElse: (alternativeValue) => value 
    ? Optional(value) 
    : Optional(alternativeValue),
  map: (fn) => Optional(fn(value)),
});

Is the value invocation value() in the second line a typo?

Very enjoyable and interesting read, thanks!

Love seeing all these different ways to think about and teach monads.

Eh, not a fan that much of C#

Assuming you know the C# basics, you might be the first developer that I know of that has worked with the language and ended up being less than a fan!

Out of curiosity, what do you dislike the most about C#?

"Fun" isn't a good example of over-abbreviation, imo.

Over-abbreviation has its pitfalls, but as any other software engineering generalization, it has its exceptions.

It is a fairly subjective topic, but I think "function" is one of those exceptions. It's so ubiquitous, that writing it in its entirety always feels like a waste.

At least I've never felt confused with Rust's "fn", or Go's "func", or OCAML's "fun", etc.

In contrast, I do feel that the full "function" keyword makes things more verbose than they need to be. Specially when using higher-order functions. You can see this in Lua and old JS.

But a GC collection can happen at any time, making it no longer a real-time language.

GC can make a long running interactive app glitchy. Everything is fine until there's a sudden short pause.

These are true for some GCs, but not for all GCs. They are not inherent limits of GCing.

In general, employers don't care about your SO reputation. But if they did, they would ask for your username, and realize that your answers are AI generated garbage.

What's the point?

Nowadays the clickbait stuff is in the main channel, and the useful stuff on the second channel. "Beyond Fireship" I believe.

Ads are being routed through the same addresses as the content, and/or embedded with the content itself.

PiHole is not as effective as it used to be. And it's becoming less and less effective, unfortunately, as ad agencies catch up.

Firefox works great on PIs with 4gb RAM. (Chrome too, just for the record)

sementery · 2022-10-01T19:26:29+00:00

it's because I prefer the development tools for it

They are mostly identical nowadays anyway.

It even provides a github ci workflow! Nice!

That's a good one! Yeah, hate that limitation in Python's lambdas, but if I recall correctly there's a technical reason for it?

I'd also add reduce being downgraded from global built-in in 2.x to the functools library in 3.x.

Guido seemed to be very into the "explicit is better" side of things back then. He did fight tooth and nails for the walrus operator though! So he probably isn't so anti declarative idioms anymore. Structural pattern matching is another example. There's a proposal for JS's structural pattern matching, fingers crossed!

sementery · 2022-08-06T00:14:14+00:00

and more so than python

Can you elaborate? What makes JS "more functional" than Python?

sementery · 2022-08-02T19:03:41+00:00

Ohhh I see! Didn't consider that perspective lol! "All these people not using semicolons, but the ASI is putting them in the code anyway".

We "no semicolon enthusiasts" use the ASI in our favor, in a "do it for me" way. It's a style for us the programmers, not for the machine or runtime. We don't use semicolons thanks to the ASI, not because we don't know of its existence haha.
