@bhaktishh lol this happened to me when I went to ICFP last year (also Air France) and the customer support process was absolutely maddening (and I say this as someone who is usually exceptionally kind to customer service people and willing to put up with these sorts of mistakes)

@bhaktishh I have no idea what the context of this post is but I saw it and this image immediately appeared in my mind

@markusde

[I am linked to an HN discussion thread] please do not ascribe meaning to the statements produced by programmers. they’re just sampling from a large corpus of things they’ve seen before. they aren’t really intelligent and don’t really “understand” anything

@bhaktishh kill them

@regehr it will be a very dark day indeed when scholar also falls

@regehr literally just searched for this on google scholar just to make sure you were making this up

had a dream last night that I was giving a talk in like 30 mins and had no memory of agreeing to give the talk or making slides. then I realized I was dreaming and therefore decided I would simply give the talk and see what slides my subconscious came up with. in fact it turned out the talk was about how linear types are bad (something I don’t in any way believe) and the slides involved an unhinged interactive #lang slideshow presentation with an embedded REPL for reasons unknown to me

@koronkebitch chad response tbh

@koronkebitch I said I, not you! I’m not sure why you being busy is an obstacle here

@koronkebitch @clam oh lol. well, maybe they’ll find the link helpful. or I could still just explain it to them :p

@koronkebitch @clam I think this one is okay (it’s in JS). https://blog.jcoglan.com/2011/03/05/translation-from-haskell-to-javascript-of-selected-portions-of-the-best-introduction-to-monads-ive-ever-read/ to be honest though I think the Haskell presentation is a lot easier to understand for various reasons (I remember reading this before I knew Haskell and not finding it all that helpful). I’d be happy to just explain them to you lol, they’re really not actually very complicated (but are often very poorly explained)

@koronkebitch wait someone else already asked this lmao

@koronkebitch do you mean programming monads or category theory monads

I'm normal and have no opinions on rhombus

The Astonishing, Unfailing GHC Runtime System (1967)

@regehr SIGBOVIK-ass paper
