It took me a while to grok monads, and the IO monad, and longer still to figure out how to compose them in safe ways, and manipulate execution order, etc. But: now I can write typesafe applications, and I produce fewer bugs when I work in n

The 10 kids while repping on his $44 billion dollar Titanic transphobes, homophobes, etc. I'm not talking about fascism as in "kill all of the people of a certain ethnic group," but there are, if you're in the study of i

Yeah, I'm not going anywhere near this. Musk had the world beating a path to his door, until he outed himself as a petulant man-child and a fascist.

Define "fix." Twitter is a tool used by extremists to reach massive audiences. Some of those extremists have socially destructive and violent objectives. Responding to harassment and hate speech involves understanding the psycholo

The math isn't super difficult. Some books will try to throw a mess of differential equations at you, but some simple calculus is all you need for backpropagation.

The government isn't helping yet. Nor should it.

I think that's the point.

nah, that's some goofy libertarian take. easier to blame the government than monopolistic behavior by pharma corporations and private actors.
