ice109··on Amazon possibly working on new stand-alone messaging app called Anytime
what's the MS solution? shows that i've never worked in enterprise that i don't even know
ice109··on Amazon possibly working on new stand-alone messaging app called Anytime
why in the world is everyone so keen on entering the messaging app space? what the hell is the value for all of these companies? is conversation data that useful for training deep nets or something?
ice109··on A deep dive into Multicore OCaml garbage collector
I don't know if you've worked with a production Haskell code base but it cannot be over stated what a poor decision operator overloading is. if they got rid of that it would immediately make Haskell an order of magnitude more practical

I whole heartedly agree with you on the convenience of go routines. I haven't been following the ocaml concurrency sorry; are they implementing a similar concurrency model?
ice109··on Interactive Go REPL
>You work in your real text editor and it has a connection to a persistent session of the language runtime, over which you can send fragments, lines or whole files into. And receive data back if you wish. You can refine or replace as little or as much of the program as you want, while it is running.

...that's even closer to the style that fast compilation lends itself to

that's a trick though - no one uses interpreters like that. for most people they're for experimentation, which is exactly what i was saying i'm able to do with go.

ice109··on Interactive Go REPL
yes it does? unless you're unable to write a single line without interactivity. i do literally the same thing in go as i did in python (when i needed to): write a little and hit compile to watch what happens (except i add a fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("%#v",x)) or something like that). often the entire thing happens faster than it would take python to just interpret a similar line and execute.

>Are you sure?

yes

>Dyson never got his PhD degree.

>By the way, do you know that there is a series in scattering theory in quantum mechanics called Dyson series?

indeed i do; i studied it in perturbation theory in undergrad.

>To be frank, I doubt if you know this.

this isn't grammatically correct. "i doubt you know this/that".

do you know how much a slice of bread costs?

ice109··on Interactive Go REPL
it's funny coming from python i missed the repl for the first few weeks but go's insane compilation speed almost completely obviates the need for one.

ice109··on Math education: It’s not about numbers, it’s about learning how to think
you're very naive. i think you're probably still an undergrad or maybe have never done serious math.

when you say proxy do you mean literally nginx/something or some go/java/etc. http server?

til there's a debugger in pgadmin3. will very much come in handy i'm sure. thanks.

but i don't agree with this

>also what people call business logic often means fetching data from the db, processing it in some way and returning it. This is what views are for, they are definitions, so there's nothing to test there, except performance maybe.

i see business logic as things that connect disparate parts of the domain. not all of my business is in my db. a lot of it is somewhere else, in someone else's db, accessible only through their api. like i said in my op: unless you want to hack postgres (or whatever rdbms) into a full-fledged general use dev environment you're not going to be able to marshal all of these disparate resources.

ice109··on Math education: It’s not about numbers, it’s about learning how to think
you use intuition to come up with the argument. then you use a proof to convince others.
ice109··on How to GraphQL – A Fullstack Tutorial for GraphQL
business logic in sql seems like a bad idea (especially since you can't connect it to other services? or can you make ajax requests in sql?).
ice109··on How to GraphQL – A Fullstack Tutorial for GraphQL
i don't understand how one would use this? obviously you're not just exposing this api to users right? are you just using it as a substitute for an orm or data access layer in your own app?

i have a running f#/mono environment on this computer. on my other computer i cannot get it to work. things like this

and this

tells me it's not production ready (yes i've even tried compiling mono from source).

umm I chose go exactly because it has a type system. what's another "modern" type safe language that's as convenient as go? kotlin? c#?

it's a theory of computation/formal languages textbook. thw canonical reference is sipser's intro to theory of computation but i like hopcroft, ullman's intro automata, languages, computation much more.
