nilved··on When ‘he’ll be kept on payroll, somewhere’ is where you are
It's simple sour grapes or cognitive dissonance.
nilved··on When You Should Use Lists in Haskell (Mostly Not)
Right, but you need to do explicit conversions between `Foundation.String` and `Prelude.String` at your app's boundaries (for example.)
nilved··on When You Should Use Lists in Haskell (Mostly Not)
The performance is horrible. It does make it very easy to work on strings though.
nilved··on When You Should Use Lists in Haskell (Mostly Not)
I've tried a bunch of alternative prelude and my experience is that it makes it very hard to integrate with code that uses the standard prelude. Foundation seems to have the highest chances of success right now, ClassyPrelude seems to be the most well-used, and Protolude seems to be more like a framework to build your own prelude.
nilved··on 20,000 UC Berkeley Lectures Made Illegal, So We Irrevocably Mirrored Them
When was HTTP ever good enough?
nilved··on When You Should Use Lists in Haskell (Mostly Not)
The first-class status of linked lists in Haskell really bothers me. In Idris there's no special syntax for lists; lists of `a` are denoted `List a` and `[]` is simply syntactic sugar for the `null` function of that module. This means `List` and other structures like vectors are on the same level.
nilved··on Adblock Plus announces members of independent Acceptable Ads Committee
Not sure why you got downvoted. I will not accept any ads.

Oh fuck off. Let me settle the matter once and for all:

> Engineering is the application of mathematics and scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, innovate, design, build, maintain, research, and improve structures, machines, tools, systems, components, materials, processes, solutions, and organizations.

edit: This post got flagged and I can see that OP is new to the board. I'm sorry for my tone here.

nilved··on We’ve lost control of our personal data, including 33M NetProspex records
That is never going to happen
nilved··on The Uber Bombshell About to Drop
Uber is too big to fail really
nilved··on The Sandstorm Team Is Joining Cloudflare
Oh boy. I guess that's it for Sandstorm.
nilved··on How the Maker of TurboTax Fought Free, Simple Tax Filing (2013)
Of course, you shouldn't need to pay anything. That is a false dichotomy.

The way tax returns are done is deliberately abusive to citizens. They'll chase you down if you owe them money, but not if they owe you. In that case you need to jump through flaming hoops every year to appease them. It's not a coincidence.

nilved··on Nevertheless, She Coded
Read a book dude. Everything you just said is both wrong and sexist.
nilved··on The Rusty Web: Targeting the Web with Rust
He said it's "one of the worst." And even people who write JavaScript admit that.
nilved··on Uber's 'hustle-oriented' culture becomes a black mark on employees' résumés
That the law doesn't matter when it comes to business?
nilved··on Ask HN: Anyone moved to PC-BSD (TrueOS) from macOS?
`.xinitrc` is loaded by xinit when you start X; they're adding `exec cwm` to use cwm as their window manager.
nilved··on Tyson Foods CEO: The Future of Food Might Be Meatless
This problem has nothing to do with vegan foods. The problem is that meat and dairy benefit from government subsidies. This might be because of lobbyists, but that's none of my business.
nilved··on Tyson Foods CEO: The Future of Food Might Be Meatless
Replicating the taste is the wrong way to go about it. Vegan food can taste just as good as meat and cheese, but it will never taste like meat and cheese because it's not meat and cheese.
nilved··on Tyson Foods CEO: The Future of Food Might Be Meatless
Am I right that this is sarcasm?

In case I am wrong about this being sarcasm, the reason cats need to eat meat to survive is that they don't naturally synthesize taurine like most mammals.

nilved··on Slack is Down
It was a joke
nilved··on The Uber Conflation
They violate the letter of the law regularly. For example, their driverless car experiment.
nilved··on Greg
Bingo. This reads as self-congratulatory.
nilved··on HSTS Preload lists cause Chromium to think http://google/ is a valid domain
I see what you're saying but these all seem like client-side issues to me.
nilved··on Ask HN: What books fundamentally changed the way you think about the world?
> fundamentalistic atheist

Did you invent this term just for the comment?

nilved··on HSTS Preload lists cause Chromium to think http://google/ is a valid domain
Which spec is this? As far as I know `http://google` is completely fine, and the period at the end is only necessary for the browser address bar heuristics we're talking about. `http://to` was operated as a URL shortener for a while.
nilved··on Write you a Haskell (2015)
This website needs some work. If you're as confused as I was, try scrolling down.
nilved··on Docker Enterprise Edition
We'll see about that
nilved··on In Video, Uber CEO Argues with Driver Over Falling Fares
I saw a video of the CEO talking to a driver.
nilved··on Cloudflare data still in Bing caches
I still can't believe they tried to call this a memory leak. They're obviously trying to downplay the severity of the bug by referring to it that way, but anyone who would know what a memory leak is would also know this isn't one.
