maybe we can have some keyboard plugin/"mode" that merges letters to form symbols in special way?

Korean windows have a "special-emoji" keyboard that can be invoked by: 1. type a charactor 2. press 'hanja' key 3. (wild special character selection menu appears)

example: § (from 'ㅁ') / ㈜ (from 'ㅁ') / ㎖ (from 'ㄹ')

Scala 3.0 5 years ago

newb here -- please expand more on this.

Are there stuff that kotlin's pattern-matching can't do?

for most simple HTTP webservers, python maintains somewhat OK-ish source/binary compatibility between python-versions. But my experience with scala was things breaking between scala-versions / waiting for some library to compile with next scala-version...

I'm surprised why scala couldn't solve it better than python -- I mean, scala's a compiled language, so it should have more wriggle-room...

well Google's using all three in different ways...

and another trend on prog. langs: they're becoming more and more similar feature-wise (eg. pattern matching)

I'm sorry, but you seems to be void of any refutation of my logic.

you iterated some famous people who are supportive of WSB, but... so what? Are they 'the wise ones of the stock market'? Are they financially supporting financial damage-takers?

They're just famous people, and that's all.

I agree that making a more level playing field is good. But that should be done by congress and law makers, not by burning gullible people's money.

ditto this. And the motivation for organizing "buy gamestop" isn't altruistic as it seems..

1. buy gamestop stocks

2. call in SJWs to 'fight against the bad guys (hedge funds)' by buying gamestop stocks

- they relay this message to others

3. watch price go up, thanks to campaigns from SJWs

4. sell off when the price is right (feels highest)

5. watch the price go back to normal valuation - you can't expect this high price to continue forever.

6. watch people who were fooled by SJWs cry over their lifesavings

this is a financial crime, though the victims fell for a temporary 'feel good' moment... so I guess they 'paid' their lesson?

as for Robinhood, blocking 'buy' seems to be a protective measure that backfired too much. Robinhood's branding depends on how it can explain this well...

edit: I agree that it's not a 'financial crime' by law... I just mean it's a detestable and almost 'criminal' campaign.

Actually... the 'Mainland-China' isn't 'China' at all -- they got rid of their own legacy during the Cultural Revolution. The traditions, artworks, even the people were lost for a lost cause (idolization of Mao)

Taiwan is 'what remains of the real China -- the Han dynasty and others'. Though the mainland 'Chinese' has deteriorated the branding 'china' so much that Taiwanese no longer wants to do anything with the word 'china'

woah another rustacean? hi there!

for rust, it counts as a 'feature' because it provides safety guarantee, and they're opt-in (can use unsafe)

as for haskell, that immutability also provides guarantee of 'referential-transparency', which the users/libraries can use to their advantange.

But in python's case, you have to define the multi-line function *outside* the chaining, and 'forcing to name things' isn't always good (especially for constantly-changing code)

def hideEmail(user): return { ...user, email: user.hideEmail? '': user.email, }

users.map(hideEmail)

// later: def hideEmailAndPhone(user): return { ...user, email: user.hideEmail? '': user.email, phoneNo: ... // same stuff }

users.map(hideEmailAndPhone) ---

As for JS/TS, you can have 'named-callback-fn':

users.map(function hidePrivateFields(user) { ... })

and it's not difficult to come up with 'named-lambda-fn' standard

users.map(hidePrivateFields(user) => { ... })
