Line drawings work because they represent the centers of symmetry for surfaces and volumes. They trigger the same center-neurons that the original shape would. A hand could appear on you retina in different sizes and orientations. According

Strawman attack. I didn't mention mining; anyone can purchase crypto. If you prefer to support the fiat thugs by holding into their tokens, be ready to pay the price.

Early crypto adopters are freedom minded people. I have no problem with a new economic system where the wealthiest are the most freedom-oriented. If crypto ever replaces the current monetary system, late adopters will have to fight for cru

This has nothing to do with my point. Law exists to establish peace and consensus. Contacts are the most basic construct enabling modern life in a crowded society. Reinterpreting contracts in a liberal, unreasonable manner destroys peace

Examining this case from a "similarity to employee" perspective neglects a crucial factor: the expectations between the parties at the time of contract. It's patently obvious no Uber driver expected to be treated as an employ

FP didn't invent immutable data, or mathematical functions. It just makes it easier to use them for some domains, while complicating others. Imperative programs can have isolated, pure subsections of functionality which are based on co

Glad to hear there's commercial interest for Nim!

Didn't expect otherwise. You'd use a logical response if you had one. My comment is a direct response to the OP who implied FPs are going to "take over". I'm being downvoted probably by FP zealots who can't dea

Debugging and (semantic) renaming. As said, this is the minimum requirements I pose on any language for production use. Nim in VS Code lacks both. There's some limited debugging support at the generated C code, but this is not sufficie

You'd be more convincing providing a substantial response instead of referring me to "investigate". I've used FP extensively, and they all make mutation very hard, by design. Do you disagree with this premise? Do you dis

The ability to change value by ref is crucial to most real-world apps. This is not surprising, as those apps are modeled to represent a real, dynamic world. Functional languages tend to disregard this, and demand composition over mutation.

D & Nim (especially Nim) are very appealing from a language perspective, but the lack an IDE undermines the advantages they bring. I personally won't consider using a language for a meaningful project unless it has a decent debugge

Where Mindustry falls short for me is where once the waves are over, you're forced to leave your base and start all over. I'm not motivated to invest in optimization if the production line is going to be abandoned soon; the game b

There's no real drop, but number manipulation. They just label you as "healed" if the tumor doesn't return after a some short period of time, which gets shorter by the year. Actually mortality rates are at all times high

The entire medical field is based on opinion and wizardry. We're sicker and weaker than ever. I've healed myself from various conditions by going carnivore. Take it or leave it.

Cancer is not a disease, but a state of overall body deterioration. You can't fix it; only the body can fix itself. Stop attacking it with carbs and plant oils, and give it the fuel it needs: unprocessed animal protein and fat.

Also, forgot to mention, that in some analyzers, even if you have no actual code change, the symbols change meaning, and then you're forced to recreate the tree regardless, because you can't change the node-symbol association.

The problem with immutability in a rapidly mutating environment is that the theory clashes with reality. Anytime a leaf node changes, all its ancestors have to be replaced, instead of just updating the leaf in place. (I'm aware of the

I'm not using ReSharper, and never have. The editor simply gets slower every version, and now it's come to the point where I seriously consider downgrading.

While the rewrite enabled faster development of the language as a whole, it also gradually destroyed the IDE's performance. The editor in VS 2019 is simply unworkable. I blame this directly on the immutable AST. While a nice concept in

C# has supported interactive scripting for years now since Roslyn came about. Even VS has a C# Interactive window.

It was a WPF desktop application, with a parser component. I managed to write large portions of the UI (all in code, no XAML), but when debugging I discovered that the language and the IDE are slowing me down. Especially, it's very eas

FP tends to have a disregard for practicality, and performance especially. Yes, it's elegant, by being abstract, but this abstraction comes at a cost. After falling in love in it, I wrote a large project in F#, but eventually had to di

Reddit is almost perfect in avoiding these issues. The only thing missing: allow assigning exclusive psuedonames per group. Users shouldn't be allowed to associate one name to another across group. It currently allows multiple accoun
