They can certainly do it for any "ASIC resistant" coin

Poe's law strikes again

Why wouldn't it be an issue with a compiled language?

Its nearly the exact same reasoning as "we're not going to break older websites"

Funny how google's attitude on false positives is the complete opposite of what it is for interviews

You can do left to right function composition with (>>>)

Given functions f, g , h,

h >>> g >>> f is equivalent to f . g . h

Its from Control.Category, so it generalizes to other things, but for functions specifically its left to right composition.

( theres also (<<<), which in this case is identical to (.) )

( Also present in Control.Arrow . Why? I dont know this topic well enough to explain. My understanding is limited to what these operators mean in the specific of functions. Functions(->) are a type as well, so they can be instances of typeclasses. for example

  instance Functor ((->) r) where  
        fmap = (.)

)

So, I'm a bit rusty on haskell but I have some notes on a similar concept. Essentially, fmap with a twist - instead of applying the same function to a list of values, you have a list of functions that you want to evaluate on the same value. "fpam". In this case, we're dealing with a list of size 2

  fpam :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
  fpam fns v = fns <*> pure v

  foo :: (a -> Bool) -> (a -> Bool) -> a -> Bool
  foo f g x = foldr1 (&&) ( fpam [f,g] x)

  foo2 :: (a -> Bool) -> (a -> Bool) -> a -> Bool
  foo2 f g x = foldr1 (&&) ( [f,g] <*> pure x)

  Prelude> foldr1  (&&) ( [ (==3), (==4) ]  <*> pure 3 )
  False

    import Data.List
    import Data.Function
    import Control.Monad.State
    import Data.Foldable
    import Control.Arrow((>>>))
    import Control.Monad.Reader
    import Control.Monad.List

    applyList :: [(a -> a)] -> a -> a
    applyList list = execState $ for_ list modify

    applyList2 :: [(a -> a)] -> a -> a
    applyList2 = foldr1 (>>>) 

    fpam :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
    fpam fns v = fns <*> pure v

    fpam2 :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
    fpam2 fns = runReader $ forM fns reader

    fpam3 :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
    fpam3 fns v = fmap (\f -> f v) fns

    fpam4 :: [(a -> b)] -> a -> [b]
    fpam4 fns = runReaderT $ do
      fn <- lift fns
      reader fn

Interesting, I have nearly the exact same situation except replace Nvidia with AMD. "Radeongate".

Also have miraculously saved the machine with a booting ritual/hack that bypasses the discrete gpu

Also 2011 MacBook.

Well, the python interpreter has a main function.

This whole topic is like comparing apples to oranges. The python interpreter(which IS compiled and has a main function) defines the rules of whats required in python. And it can reasonable assume that the entry point is the beginning of the .py file its running.

Raises concerns with MMT and inflation while not once mentioning how proponents of MMT address inflation. How convenient.

I dont recall if it was Apple that did this, but theres trick one can pull with an "open source"codebase thats part of a proprietary product.

One can have said codebase effectively outsource functionality to function calls on closed source libraries.

Google does something similar with android except in that case its moreso coupling functionality to their services:

In the disassembly we can see a bunch of fine grained operations but the meaning behind them is opaque. For example, we see two array access operations but its not clear what they do. They might look like this:

mov al, [array + ebx]

Considering the assert statement from point 2: "plr[myplr].InvGrid[i] <= plr[myplr]._pNumInv"

From this we can see what the variables were named in the source code. Assuming "plr" = player and "InvGrid" = Inventory grid, we can deduce one the array access operations is to get the current player and another is for getting an item from the inventory grid.

For (m)ETH, proof of stake has been "just around the corner" for years.

Great point! This reminds of of the film concept of "show, dont tell" but applied to prose instead of a visual medium

One should also consider the Airline industry. Especially the climate change activists that regularly fly.

Thats how I feel about russia-gate. "Criticizing the corporate democrats and exposing their records? You must be a russian shill!"

I wonder if this system would have flagged evidence of Iraq WMD's as fake news? Or is it something primitive that just asserts that anything != CNN et. al. is fake news?

This is somewhat covered by https://darkpatterns.org/types-of-dark-pattern/roach-motel

Gyms are notorious for this. Almost any staff member can sign someone up, but if you want to cancel theres only one guy in the entire gym authorized to do that, and they are frequently "out to lunch".

Either that or you have to print a cancellation form and send it by snail mail with 30 days notice. And if you dont send by certified mail they will claim they never received it.

They broke extension support.

Was this intentional, or simply a consequence the architecture of quantum?

You can still have mutable references and impure functions in Haskell, but its not like "path of least resistance" of other languages. The IO type marks impure functions

Also one can use STRef if they want to have a pure function that is internally implemented with mutable values - that is all the side effects are self contained.

"a function can still be pure even if it calls impure functions, as long as the side effects don't escape the outer function"

To me this seems more like "common sense" than an unpopular opinion. As such I hope this isnt an unpopular opinion!

Having experienced my fair share of HR-induced job search frustration in the past, this is incredibly inspirational and validating.
