This kind of semantics-first comparative analysis of programming languages is so important. I had a course at uni where we dissected how different languages approached concurrency, parallelism, modules/OOP, metaprogramming, eager vs la

In my experience, unfortunately it’s fast until you need to use a webapp (Gmail, FB, Netflix…). For document editing or code it’s pretty awesome but a sluggish web is a deal breaker for many these days.

Bloctel ineffectiveness (the previous opt-out system) was cited as one of the reasons for moving to a ban. I was on this system too and used to get scam calls too (they would come in waves, like 3-4 calls in a week, nothing for a month, the

At $JOB, I use the Pareto frontier all the time. If one option is at least as good on every relevant dimension and better on one, just pick it. That's not really a trade-off, and it shouldn't need escalation. Eg, if two SaaS tools

Super cool! I did something similar (in terms of visualisation) a few years back, a map of cities by their birthdate on wikipedia: https://cpa.github.io/wiki-cities-birthdates/

For those wondering what it's for: it's basically NumPy + a JIT compiler with standard Haskell syntax (you mostly just need to change the type signatures, not the code). It can vectorize, parallelize on the CPU, or offload to the

Pretty cool! I've spent a lot of time wrapping my head around monads; whenever I thought I "got it," I would come across some exotic monad that completely blew my mind. The best way to understand them is not to rely on analog

Pretty cool to have a first-class tracing mechanism. Obviously... it's a monad! Haskell has had a MonadTrace monad for a long time, that can be switched on or off depending on your environment. https://hackage.haskell.org&#x

It reminds me of when I used to write lisp, where code is data. You can abuse reflection (and macros) to great effect, but you never feel safe. See also: string interpolation and SQL injection, (unhygienic) C macros

To add to sibling comment, if you have streaming data you have to update the whole index every time with r/kd trees whereas with H3 you just compute the bin, O(1) instead of O(log n). Not rocket science but different tradeoffs, that’s
25.
by cpa 7mo ago
The big reason is that H3 is data independant. You put your data in predefined bins and then join on them, whereas kd/r trees depend on the data and building the trees may become prohibitive or very hard (especially in distributed syst

Companies don’t have a legal obligation to publicly disclose revenue in many countries, so if you’re selling business insights you’re always on the lookout for indicators that can be used as a proxy to revenue.

In the same vein 4chan.org/b/ used to make every so often "This iw now a Hacker News thread", which were hilarious. See: https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/48696148 Thread: https://new
