Would it be considered haram even if you don't actually eat it?

> He has only forbidden you ˹to eat˺ carrion, blood, swine[1], and what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah. But if someone is compelled by necessity—neither driven by desire nor exceeding immediate need—they will not be sinful. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[1]: Eating pork is forbidden in the Old Testament in Leviticus 11:7-8 and Deuteronomy 14:8.

Chrome is a browser – it can’t remove something from the spec. Perhaps this should say Google proposes to remove it from the spec.

By metonymy it's referring to the browser's owner.

> terser languages don't work all that well with LLMs

I’d believe that, but I haven’t tried enough yet. It seems to be doing quite well with jq. I wonder how its APL fares.

When Claude generates Haskell code, I constantly want to reduce it. Doing that is a very mechanical process; I wonder if giving an agent a linter would give better results than overloading it all to the LLM.

Can't you just run HLint on it?

When people rip on someone literally the day after they die - that tells you a lot.

Matt had a complex relationship with a lot of people, and I think it's correct from Curtis' part to paint Matt's character as truthfully as possible.

I loved Matt dearly, and I think he'd approve of Curtis' post.

Didn't Wirth(may be it was someone else) say that it is better to have a complex data structure and simple algorithm/code that works on them than having simple data structures and complex code.

Complex data structures absorb lot of the complexity of the problem and reduce the complexity of the rest of the code.

Linus Torvalds also spoke in favour of using adequate data structures instead of the code.

the bit at the end is quite rude of the haskeller responding but I also think they're largely right; another monads explained through boxes tutorial is not gonna help anyone. In fact it's really a step in the wrong direction. Using a few different monads is where to start.
Vosporos · 5 months ago
Was it rudeness or honesty without malice? The "monad tutorial" instinct is a well-documented fallacy. In my culture we don't whitewash our opinions to make them palatable to someone who's obviously doing something wrong in a known way.
