I think I much prefer Haskell DSLs over Lisp macros as the basis for APIs in foreign code. That might be due to my relative inexperience with Lisps, but macros just seem to make all the bad aspects of dynamically typed langues much worse. L

I use Nix on an ARM single-board computer to host a personal Matrix homeserver (and a bunch of bridges), and I absolutely love it. It's invaluable to have a reproducible specification of the whole system, including custom software to b

There would definitely be issues with the keyring being outdated which you have to know/search how to work around. And from time to time Arch also requires some manual interventions in the package update process (that are posted on arc

Doesn't match my experience at all. I love that packages are always up to date. Also, in my experience, having a rolling release cycle leads to significantly fewer issues than having to upgrade everything at once. Using Arch has been a

Say there is a quantum system – a particle or something – that has an equal probability to collapse in either of two classical states if measured. Say there are two scientists in a laboratory who perform a measurement on that system. If you

Do you account for the fact that probability distributions can have multiple peaks with equal probability? If multiple brains were involved, they'd somehow have to coordinate on what they deem the most likely outcome.

The "pure utilitarian" viewpoint never made much sense to me because it seems to usually imply accounting for only first order effects, when calculating some costs and gains, and stopping there. I think the secondary effects of no

I think you could create a system that's resilient to such issues even with federation (not saying it's easy, though), and Matrix actually has a solution in the works for this – decentralised user accounts [1]. And all of this mak

I've seen a lot of praise for F# but trying it out left me somewhat disapointed. Overall, it was nice to program in but there was a constant feeling of awkwardness which, it seems, was caused by F#'s ties to the rest of the .NET w

I don't know enough to think that violation of causality is not possible. It just just seems very unlikely. I can't imagine how the world would look like if it wasn't the case because of the paradoxes it would imply. You seem

Ah, i somehow read the subluminal as superluminal in the abstract and got all excited. But the subluminal restriction makes the paper's findings make more sense.

Does an Alcubierre warp drive violate causality? From my understanding, it's no different than regular FTL travel, which implies time travel, which implies violation of causality. To me that would indicate that an Alcubierre warp dri

Does the proposal have any effect on lens usage? EDIT: I mean, lenses and RecordDotSyntax both provide a way to access nested fields in records, so the new syntax would take away some of the reasons to use lenses. But are there any other re
