Ha ha, your short but diplomatic reply is a perfect example of the skill in question. Nicely done.
You make a very good point, and maybe a problem here is that “human factors studies” are set up like market research rather than anthropology. People who’ve spent a long time programming have spent a long time…
What do you have to say about Curry-Howard?
*moot (No offense intended.)
Or ANS if you want an equally general packing to AC but you care about performance. ;P
For some reason you're willing to drop the context. He's talking about people coming through the border without being vetted, who are dangerous to the country. Do you think that people should be able to come into the…

Is it rare because it’s painful, or painful because it’s rare?
I made something like this for Morgan Stanley some years ago, a structurally typed eager variant of Haskell with static elimination of type class constraints (so no runtime penalty for overloading) and uses LLVM for the…

I’ve always wondered why SQL doesn’t support variant types, and in this case especially. If you’re going to store a sequence of values whose type can change over time, a variant is the obvious encoding choice. As new…
I hear different opinions about whether type checking is "an" instance of abstract interpretation (AI) or "the" instance (which IMHO is a useful question since we might consolidate our efforts on one method if…
A career change, or a job change?
Ok but just make sure nobody else has to inherit it, and it’ll be fine.
Yeah, some maintenance projects have been much easier than others. Implicit knowledge that you have to “just” hunt down is generally the cause of difficulty and delay. It has little to do with “purity” and more to do…

I don't think they explained how it's different, I did listen to the podcast before posting my comment. It's a pretty basic question that IMHO demands a clear and adequate explanation. If you read the 'abracadabra'…
Yeah but, how is an assembly index different than an LZW code?

Why would you post this here instead of the github page?
This piece focuses on complaints about ocaml, and the last half seems to just be syntax complaints (which I mostly ignore just because every language seems to have awkwardness in its syntax -- certainly Haskell, a…
Bulletproof counter argument, you sure showed me.
