> This guy's whole viewpoint seems to be pinned on "it's not addiction if it's not negatively affecting the rest of your life" (yes, I know this is a major criteria for a lot of medical diagnosis, addiction included).

That's what distinguishes dependency from addiction.

I think he's glossing over the fact that some drugs can be addictive, which is a thing on its own, aside from promoting happiness.

It's less addictive.

I think substances can be addictive on their own, which gets occluded by many on the "pro-drugs" side.

Makes sense!

Every time I hear about McKinsey in a headline it's for doing something reprehensible.

I read such a statement from Andras Kovacs re: compilers https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/gok70o/simple_hask...

One needs different allocation strategies for immutable (and strict/lazy) languages.

I don't think citadel did anything shady here, seems like people misunderstanding things to get mad.

Why is blockchain involved?

It's not a financial rebellion

So basically a bunch of people who don't understand how Robinhood works at all are going to replace it?

Doubt that.

Well, for one, "pure" and "strict" need not be opposed.

You can have a strict language with an IO monad, and some people actually prefer that.

> Or take functional programming as another example. Arguably, about 80% of it is incredibly useful and makes for much better code. Taken to its ultimate conclusion in purely functional languages, things like doing I/O get a lot more difficult compared to strict languages.

The author seems to be quite confused about functional programming.

Melvin closed out of their position.

Webull's clearing firm forced their hand.

> The narrative appears to be that the shorts will have to eat the loss and cover at some point

Supposed Melvin already has.

Did their clearing firm force their hand?

Webull had to stop because of their clearing firm.

M4 doesn't need to be installed on the software distribution's computer (that was my point).

Perl I don't even know if it needs to be installed on the packager's computer.

meson has the problem of being written in Python and thus even an end-user has to endure Python library distribution.

> Much of the modern Linux build issues are RPM vs DEB

Which in turn are not the best formats for binary distributions.

Do you find it faster?

I have good experiences with J due to its terseness, but I'm curious why scientists still use R/Python - is it just inertia? Libraries/FFI?

There's a bunch of oddities in Python, e.g. recursion limits.

They have to check a recursion limit, for one.

Also the recursion limit.

(Flo is a period tracker)

You'd be more likely to catch it here than pretty much anywhere else in the world lol.

I think everyone's just tired of his shit.

I feel like someone is gonna get in big trouble for this.

The dude who stole her mail wasn't even wearing a mask.

> Thanks to laziness, foldr is usually preferred, and it is not tail recursive.

With guarded recursion. foldl' has its place.

Makes sense, they're getting good deals rn with the way airlines are doing.
