boy sounds somewhat like Turkic bala/bola ("a boy").

Well it may have effect on ergonomics. Some people claim they cannot use 60Hz monitor after trying 144hz.

Yeah, he said it is a flatulence circle.

Every time I hear Rust, I recall True Detective (Rustin Cohle).

You do not need to school me about why "for" is not pure functional - as soon as you understand that it is syntactic sugar, you are fine; IO is also impure, so if you insisting in purity then the only option is Haskell.

If you want to be pedantic, in functional programming there is no such a thing as "return value", as there is no such a thing as statement, only expressions. And expressions always _have_ values, they do not _return_ them.

I agree that SML is better for teaching than OCaml no doubt about it.

I mean, it is pointless to continue this conversation; you did not use SML for a long time - I did use it last time last year, and I can attest, it is extremely impractical compared to any other FP language today.

No SML is more verbose, is pretty obvious. A simple "for" in ocaml could save lots boilerplate doing trivial recurison.

I have personally obtained unmesurable amount of relevant info from twitter; lots of true experts in every area in real time. Blogs were more like reading a published magazine article - for something not time sensitive.

1. It was USSR, not Russia. For many who were USSR citizen till 1991, but neither ethnically or geographically Russians, this rubs very wrong way.

2. Aviation in the USSR was developing completely independent, and you can accuse USSR in stealing technology in many areas but certainly not in aviation.

You SML code is incorrect, shows that you actually never coded anything in SML. SML requires that "if" always contains "else" clause (which is the norm for many functional languages). And this kind of stuff which makes SML unnecessarily verbose (OCaml has for operators, single line let definitions that do not require you to make use val and fun for different type definitions etc.).

The problem that is extremely verbose though. OCaml is much more concise.

No, SML is actually quite verbose ang generally ugly, compared to say OCaml or F#, or even Scheme or Closure. This is why it is dead.

What kind of UB the author is talikng about?

Still using my Sansa.

Love the Cobblestoned Walts.

Focus on Eyesafe monitors, esp. with Innolux panels. (such as all 28 inch 4k monitros).

Much less to me. Due to more wide spectrum esp in blue area.

95% of monitors on the market are PWM free these days,

The thing with eyestrain, that it is extremely different to pinpoint what it causes for people with sensitive eye, so any alternative solution would work.

The most important factor is, obviously is the backlight, and not only being PWM or DC, but also the spectrum and "texture" of the light itself: a typical LCD has diffusers which may have different construction and cause serious issues for some people. Some may be sensitive to polarisation, some people are sensitive to how grainy is antiglare coating is etc.

A good number of people (me including) cannot tolerate backlight with blue at 450 nm, the more it is towards green the better. Some cannot tolerate KSF phosphor in the wide gamut backlights (I am perfetcly fine with it), and love quantum dots.

It is a serious problem, but using the ambient light for the backlight would make experimenting the backlight a super easy task, so yeah, this monitor is a great idea.

This crude advice, which is not always effiecient. I have sensitive eyes, and many monitors cause issues even when they are set _at_ _zero_ brightness. The both feel too dim and too bright simultaneously. Even a single white letter on a black bacground would cause bad eyestrain on a "bad" monitor. Luckily I have found models which do not cause issues and am using them.

It is a typical advice which is efficient but flawed. All software methods to change color temperature suffer from two problems: they kill contrast (already low for IPS), and they kill color calibration. It also cannot change the backlight spectrum in the blue area. Proper, good backlight won't strain your eyes, when run at normal 6500K temperature,as it has blue peaks shifted.

Not below their factory defined minimum. Which is all over of place, except for Dell and HP, which around 40 nits minimal brightness.

Color temperature of the backlight LEDs have nothing to do with width of the gamut of the monitor. What matters is how narrow are spectral peaks of the primaries. You can easily have 4500K monitor with 110% coverage of Adobe RGB, for example.

This is true only because today the borders between RISC and CISC do ot exist anymore, modern technologies would decode everything into uops anyway. But in 1980s and early 90s, this was not true. CISC was indeed more difficult to scale.

The last frugivorous ape I know was Steve Jobs. Yeah bad joke I know.

It turns out you can make a bullet out of a turd....

Yes. They took them out of the bunker. They were sitting there together with Mr. Putin.

Although I consider that it is moderately (5%?) probable it was a result of scientific research went wrong, they are wrong because there is dude in Ohio that researches cryptic lineages in the wastewater and his conclusion was that this kind of dS/dN is possible in immunocompromised people.

Yes, Omicron cannot be explained evolutionary. It might be wither a lab leak (not very likely), or result of being inside of someone who takes mutagens.

They have probably meant guided natural selection.

Lab leak has never been "debunked". It is still a very much a possible route of the introduction of Wu-1 into the general population.

I live in ex-USSR Central Asia and there is no such a thing as return, but many stores allow you to take an item and echange for different size if does not fit.
