I don't think this is accurate at all. Debugging in a strict FP language is pretty much exactly like debugging in an imperative language. Debugging in a lazy FP language requires somewhat different approaches, but still…
Compiling functional languages to other high-level language s generally has pretty awful performance compared to simple native compilation. Even compiling to C has it's limitations. The fact that Go has a nice compiler…

Of course there are a cultural leanings at every "place". What kind of people frequent that place? HN is no different. Anyone can come here and make any argument.
My personal view on Transgenderism is that it should be seen in basically the same way as drug addiction. Drugs also occur naturally and many people dabble in them without much harm. But drug addiction is truly…

The Thais have similar concept as well (third gender), but it isn't the same as the western Transgenderism construct. > I find it all rather fascinating and hard to reduce down to silly dogma. The phenomena itself isn't…
Since there is no DM feature, I'm going to rail on this a bit more here. You feel alone. - What is your relationship like with your parents and siblings? - What is your relationship like with your aunts, uncles, and…
I have no interest in arguing against any of these points here. All I am claiming is that they are a form of dogma. These beliefs look very silly to everyone outside of this culture. They seem silly to everyone. To…
People are telling you that you are too judgmental. People are telling you that you need to accept your situation. People are telling you to move to a huge city. Instead, you need to be MORE judgmental. You need to…
The reason we are dealing with lots of little echo chambers is because we are in the middle of a war. Our echo-chamber-keepers were replaced, and the new ones are leading us to our deaths. Many different groups of…
There is something implied by that dataset that we are not allowed to notice or talk about. The text doesn't say it, but the commenter is suspect because they should know better than to imply the unspeakable.
Feel like the solutions to so many problems is just tariffs. Tariffs on all imports and exports, tariffs on moving things between states too. Significant tariffs would fuck these people so hard.
We should encourage people to express dissenting views. The idea that we should do anything in our power to avoid good outcomes for someone that expressed ideas that we don't agree with is worse than hateful and evil:…
Yes. Please move elsewhere.
Writing functions that receive other functions as input can lead to over complicated code that's really hard to read. I work in FP languages, and I find this type of code extremely intuitive and easy to understand. I…
We can't fix this. The whole HN narrative around this presumes that this is an unnatural outcome caused by the bad incentives of tech platforms. This is just wrong. The polarization comes directly from people being able…
It doesn't matter. "White male" is a slur now.
This is an amazing idea.
ADHD is your mind violently rebelling against the useless bullshit that you trying to force it to do.
You have basically the right idea, but I think you are missing something important. ADHD is a "disorder", but it's root cause is intrinsic, genetic. Different people are different. ADHD isn't about "being human", it's…

The problem with this whole line of thought is that, in reality, conspiracies abound. History is full of conspiracies. The idea that all things are all just emergent phenomena created by laws and economics, that no…
