1. Most lines of code don't require side-effects, the Haskell way just asks you to structure your program in pure parts and side effecting parts (usually 90/10). 2. Also it's easy to define your own forms of side…
It's always a matter of incentives and transaction costs. Now whoever uses this extension has a little bit more incentive and a little bit less cost to pirate. A locked door isn't enough deterrent to thieves that really…
Given 6*10^20 neurons in the human race, we have 10^3 atoms in 12 grams of carbon per neuron, a little bit more than 1 neuron simulation per atom. I'm not a neuron simulation or an atomic computing expert but even a few…
Most OO languages are based on no theory, while every FP language can trace its roots to the lambda calculus. Functions compose and abstract very well, leading to simpler and more expressive designs. In OOPLs the unit…
When PG says that children are helpless and this is a thing we are wired to like, I remembered that in japanese the word used to mean cute is kawaii, and it also means something close to helpless (it is used to express…
I have a Landau book in my hands right now ;)
