I was just about to ask how well this would work as a companion to tapl. I'm still very early in the book so the notation isn't indecipherable, but I'm sure it'll get there soon.

There was a post a bit back (which you might be referencing) about almost this exact situation, except it was about black hat SEO dramatically backfiring. Specifically, businesses were asking bloggers and news sites to delete spam comments

Ah, I used one million because it really hammers the scale of it in, but I like that with 100 you can easily track the percentages.

One approach that really helped me out was to extend the problem from three doors to a million doors. You're allowed to pick one door, out of a million. Then, the host opens 999,998 of the other doors which he knows have a goat. This

This is definitely not usable as an early intro to CS book, as it's pretty dense. There's a wide variety of introductory material that you can pick from, depending on your interests (what kind of stuff are you interested in doing)

I feel like a lot of this trendy stuff comes out because it demos very well. The designer shows it off in a controlled setting, everyone's wowed and impressed and glad they hired a "good" designer, and nobody bothers to check

This is just a proxy. If developers wanted to go this route they would set up the proxy on their own server instead of routing it through a 3rd party.

I've been putting some thought into how I might implement some sort of type system that might at least partially help with separating IO and other side-effects. It's probably impossible to guarantee 100% purity, but I was thinking

Haha, thanks! Glad you like it. I recently got back into toying around with Pharen, the goal being to get accepted to the next Strange Loop.

But...he didn't even mention balance. He simply was saying how Starcraft helped him appreciate the "nettlesomeness" aspect of professional chess more. It's just a comment about an interesting observation.

Damn, I thought it getting posted here meant it was active again. That said, at least Io, which Ioke is partly based off of, is somewhat active: https://github.com/stevedekorte/io

It does track the arity of functions, but remember that this happens at compile time. Regular addition in Pharen is still just regular addition in PHP: (def a (+ 1 2 3 4)) ; => $a = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4); Of course, there are situatio

It works (superficially) similarly to how Haskell does things and treats (+) as a partial function call by recognizing that + isn't getting at least 2 arguments. You could also do stuff like: ((+ 1) 2) ; => 3 (map (* 2) [

PHP does have array_reduce, however operators like '+' can't be used as callables so you'd have to make your own wrapper functions. Edit: Screw it, haven't self promoted on a while. In Pharen ( https://git

Just because it modifies the standard library classes doesn't make it a separate language in its own right. If you used Java but with a different implementation for, say, linked lists than the standard one you'd still be using Jav

Right, I thought one of the big benefits about pull requests was that it let other devs easily view the diffs before merging a change in, not to mention making it easier for people to discuss the changes. I guess if you don't want to d

I think you may have taken that statement out of context. The OP was talking about the complexity of the type implementation , not the theory behind it. The specific example he used was how a programmer needs to know exactly how some diffe
