@maltimore Is this just a lack of time or some deficiency in learning materials?
@boilingsteam Good. Previous AMD offerings were a bit on a weak side TBH.
@deavmi @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io It's amazing, but not unique to Haskell. Pattern matching is going mainstream now and you can have laziness if you need it.
Purity, on the other hand is mostly unattainable in other platforms.
@jonn IDK, it's just a generic image of Lego cat
@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @deavmi Does it have purity? Pattern-matching, while nice, is superficial. Even laziness is questionable.
SPJ on writing a Great Grant Proposal
> Ask lots of people to help you improve your proposal. Give it to your colleagues, your friends, your spouse, your dog, and listen to what they say. If they misunderstand what you were trying to say, don’t say “you misunderstood me”; instead rewrite it so it can’t be misunderstood. If they don’t immediately see the value of what you want to achieve, rewrite it until they do.
Idle thought:
The English plural of "virus" is "viruses".
The Latin plural of "virus" would be "virūs", because it isn't second-declension, it's fourth - except that in Latin "virus" is a singulare tantum: it has no plural. "viri" is the plural of "vir", meaning "man". "Virii" is the plural of Virius, a family name.
Just so you know.
@Shoehead My heartbeat certainly wouldn't be so steady seeing this ![]()
@waltercool @Wearenotcattle well, unplanned pregnancy is one of the things leading into being poor. And (I think) pills are cheap enough so you can give them indiscriminately, without any procedure whatsoever, rape or no rape. I expect them to be cheaper than having to deal with adding more people to the poor (and crime, and waves of nasty stuff that's coming with it).
@waltercool @Wearenotcattle using taxes to fix mistakes can be okay if it is cheaper than dealing with consequences of not fixing them.
State: Nah, wouldn't buy you a pill, I'd better pay to raise the kid in an orphanage.
In some cases the govt should even commit to fixing mistakes right away and even pay for that.
This, of course, has consequences too and will generate an incentive structure.
@waltercool @Wearenotcattle what about post-rape abortions?
Toots as he pleases.
