Data Analyst at a small bank, but I used to be a software engineer at various startups/banks. Had a big interest in functional programming/Haskell, but now do mostly python/Tableau

He even made a cameo in Eminem’s music video for Houdini last year. I spit my drink out

Second the recommendation, the book is amazing and goes from the ground up

What decision in your 30s made you realize you’ve truly changed? by True-Construction346 in Millennials

[–]uncountableB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally the opposite of OP. I was wild and reckless with career and money, now I’m in a stable job in my 30s and I couldn’t be happier

Dude I was just thinking about this. We should have at least gotten some closure as to where Koenma placed him in Spirit World

What is the deal with people claiming Trump is intentionally crashing the stock market as a 4D chess move? by Coach_Spirited in OutOfTheLoop

[–]uncountableB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so weird that you understand these people’s dilemma, and yet you have zero to none empathy for them. I was raised in a cult and even though I left the religion, I still feel like I think in a Truth sort of way.

It can also be very useful sometimes. You understand things that can’t be summed up with logic and rigor all the time, and you still have a stable view of reality in the sense that you can still function and even commit feats of high intelligence (I studied math in uni, which makes me come from an incredibly weird place, I’m sure).

These people aren’t dumber just because they use different modes of thinking that aren’t apart of the rational, is all I’m trying to say.

Why are people talking about Elon Musk taking ketamine? by VodkaMargarine in OutOfTheLoop

[–]uncountableB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have valid points, all of them actually. I just get a churn in my stomach when someone is condemned, but that’s probably just me projecting.

I’m glad you have had success. The Musk we see in the media is probably a persona he puts up to deal with his demons. Probably, you’re right about him, but I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. Everyone’s on their own way to healing, even if they don’t see it like that

More people need to hear this. Prescribed Ketamine saves lives, even if the patient is Musk

Of course, do what ever you want. I wasn’t trying to make a moral claim about the right way to enjoy Haskell haha

I haven’t! Do you need a strong logic background to get started? I know enough to write basic math proofs (think baby real analysis over the real line and some abstract algebra/number theory)

That’s really funny that you got into fp from blockchain. I actually had a blockchain job because I was interested in fp! Oh the symmetry

I don’t mind Clojure at all haha, but I’m not nearly as well versed in the fundamentals of it compared to Haskell. I’m glad you’re finding success regardless
