Example -> use of Monoids in the design and implementation in the Diagram Library from composition of primitives to caching

Application of Category theory and abstract algebra to Software engineering. Application of Category Theory and abstract algebra to API design and library design. Category theory -> composability on steroids.

P.S whoever thinks otherwise is an idiot and what's wrong with the software development world

The question is why would you want to be stuck with someone who doesn't speak your language and gets pissed off at everything you do because they see you as dumb by default and their culture is the stark opposite of yours?

With all due respect, I will never understand how that statement differs from trying to understand the ways of an abusive ex and trying to thread carefully based on it? pretty sure the abusive nature comes from somewhere and then for some darn reason I'm walking on egg shells when I could pretty much invest my time in a more nicer manner. Unless you think that putting up with complete crap is something people ought to aspire to do (don't mean to come up as an asshole, but seriously mate?)

yep yep true and most likely true

I feel people who own pets don't see things from a pet's perspective. But that's probably just me. Having someone love you based on sort of sort weird stockholm-syndrome based relationship is weird. The cat comment, as much as it's a joke I have seen most folks around me who own cats have this need for constant drama. And Goodness, no matter how much the cats randomly lashes out at these owners, the owners still love em, where's the bloody logic in that? I guess everyone on here is a S&M lover. But anecdotal evidence doesn't count for much haha

Having a cat may not cause mental illness, just that in my experience having a cat is a sign of mental illness

White people are a majority in technology

BS, have you seen us brown folks? we are literally the IT race. You could say white blokes are at a disadvantage. Point being, I feel kids should be taught their code and their core values are important, and should be also taught the art of not giving a shit about stuff that clearly doesn't matter. No black folks in tech? all the more reason to become a God

A very senior dev had to be explained he couldn't do a man-in-the-middle attack on an encrypted stream without the server's private key? With all due respect and I don't know much about security but something seems off, maybe you haven't explained the whole story or maybe I'm getting something wrong.

Have a few questions .. (1) doesn't it seem like this only works for elements that have an ordering as well a binary operation multiplication, subtraction and addition defined on them, making it too specific ? (I'm talking about the whole 2x - minelement) (2) If I have a variable hanging around a stack, is it still a stack? (3) When I pop out the min value in the stack, and want the next min Value, how do I get that,? seems like the previous min value still sticks around? (4) With comparisons and 1 value that hols state, do I really need to transform the values going into the stack?

Very very beautiful. Art and tech at it's best

hear hear! That is the one thing stopping me from going full-steam ahead with Scala, reeks of java, promises the future yet is abused forever because it cannot decide what it wants to be ... do I want to be Haskell? do I want to be Java?

Man some of those examples taken from application of genetic algorithms, and iterative algos that are definitely not deep learning ... not everycomputer optimized design success is an AI success and not every AI success is a deep learning success

EAV: isn't that a terrible practice for any database platform?

is it just me or this article has extremely click-bait-ish title and top of that is extremely vacuous in content?
