I don't know of any to be honest, and I would seriously just avoid all of them. Read the fantasy land spec (functions + laws and how it's implemented) instead, and ask questions on an FP channel if you're stuck or confused

I've heard 'Professor Frisbee's Mostly Adequate Guide to Functional Programming' is ok, but I'm looking at the section on monads and the monad laws aren't even mentioned. Which is a huge red flag for me, because without the laws it isn't a monad and you can get really strange behavior if you use it like that. I would avoid reading that book

People write these tutorials because they want to improve their portfolio to further their career, but they often don't even understand it yet -- a perfect example of a perverse incentive.

An example is the guy who wrote "You Don't Know Js" [1]. All of these are completely wrong statements:

- "But what I will say is that a monad is basically a value type."

- "A monad is a data structure. It's a type."

- "Actually, a monad isn't a single data type, it's really more like a related collection of data types. It's kind of an interface that's implemented differently depending on the needs of different values. Each implementation is a different type of monad."

- Says "methods" a bunch of times, there are no methods involved with monads in any way, it's FP

- His example in "Just a Monad" isn't a monad

- "Actually, the Maybe monad is a particular pairing of two other simpler monads: Just and Nothing"

- "Many implementations of a JavaScript Maybe monad include a check (usually in map(..)) to see if the value is null/undefined, and skipping the behavior if so" - that makes it not a monad, it violates the laws. Java's Optional type isn't a monad for similar reasons

- "But... that approach to Maybe is not a pure monad." - there's no pure/impure monads, it's either a monad or it isn't

- "The core spirit of a Monad says that it must be valid for all values and cannot do any inspection of the value, at all -- not even a null check. So those other implementations are cutting corners for the sake of convenience. It's not a huge deal," - It is a huge deal, a whole lot of abstractions are built on top of monads, if it doesn't satisfy the laws exactly then you'll be entering a world of pain you really wish you didn't

I stopped reading the rest but you get the point. You don't want to end up in a situation where you have to unlearn a bunch of this stuff. Btw the guy who wrote the Professor Frisbee book wrote the foreword in this book, so you can see why a lot of this stuff raises red flags for experienced FPers. My suggestion is to read fantasy land and ask questions on an FP channel

>With colleagues at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Broniatowski looked at 899 vaccine-related tweets sent from mid-2014 to late 2017.

If there were either hundreds or at least several tens of thousands tweets like that, or if all of the tweets they've screened were highly popular, then I could take that study seriously.
As it is, however, this appears to be a targeted evaluation failing to qualify the significance of those tweets' impact.

Right, I get your previous comment now. I would agree with it if it where:

"Democracy generally means I am being governed according to some, but not all of my wishes."

The fact that you are/are not being governed according to some of your wishes in a non-democratic society is coincidental. Why it may or may not be true for any given government, it is not inherent to the structure of any non-democratic government.

For all of the subsequent points in this comment about compromise, that's desirability in a democratic (small d) candidate - that doesn't have anything to do with the system itself.

But yes, I appreciate all the points you are making about the candidates - I would say Bernie does compromise, but his stubbornness is part of his desirability, certainly.

Hilarys ability to compromise becomes extremely clear when you look at what she stood for in the 70s/80s and the policies she pushed while running for presidency.

Thanks for clarifying, that was interesting.

The thing is, there is the value of a job to the employer, and the value of employment to the employee.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a full time employee, at the very least, to be paid a living wage. Someone willing to commit that much of their life to a company should be compensated enough to allow them to house and feed themselves. Even if they're just "moving boxes."
This doesn't alter the fact that there is indeed no proof which has been shown to the public. Show us the actual proof or stop claiming it. It is very easy to resolve.

So there won't be any server side code, you'd just be downloading the entire Python stack and dependencies every time you want to use this through your browser. This time it will be WASM though, instead of x86/x64/pyc.

That we can, doesn't mean that we should.
Roughly yes. The rationale is that you were not "wrongfully" in jail. You were held in the jail because prosecutors believed you'd be found guilty of a crime (which you subsequently were found innocent of) and the court believed that you were either too dangerous or too likely to abscond if you weren't held against your will.

In principle if you can show that these beliefs were unreasonable (not just wrong, but not even reasonable beliefs for the court officials to hold) you might be able to get somewhere, but I suspect a decent lawyer would tell you that this bar is too high.

Conviction rate for people who go to trial in the UK is very high, because the "Full Code Test" for prosecutors tells them to never prosecute people unless they're convinced the evidence they have will support a conviction for each charge they specify.

Yeah but that's not how the law works. A service provider risks losing its safe harbor status if it delegates a DMCA complaint to a party and then that DMCA complaint is ignored. Providers have an incentive to shut down services on the terms of the DMCA to protect their business.
And even if you have a registered copyright agent for your business and a form on your site to report infringement, lawyers love to blast out DMCA claims to you, your agent, and your provider, as high in the chain as they can go. It's a huge headache.

That is a pretty good walkthrough of the "harder" parts of functional programming.

Although, I always found it telling that the language designers needed the "do" imperative notation for monadic state computations.

While the benefits of monadic-state are pretty well known at this point, it does seem interesting that for widespread adoption it has to be "wrapped" in an abstraction more familiar to developers.
Right. I've spent some time on this during my research for a book about how to manage product/project information, so much of which involves written language.

We create meaning through human interaction. It's a very dynamic and fuzzy experience. We make it out to be a lot more concrete than it actually is. (Part of that is because of the rise of written language, which gives the illusion that if you can point at text on a page that somehow that text represents in an absolute fashion some concept. It does not.) Add programming to the mix, which is almost an entirely mathematical construct, and it's quite easy to get the wrong idea.

This is the kind of thing programmers have blind spots about, and frankly it drives a lot of people crazy. So it's exactly the kind of domain where well-intentioned people can totally fuck things up for large portions of humanity. I'm not really crazy about seeing another social-media-level "oops!" in my lifetime.

iPhone defined the image of the smartphone and they started internet first with a curated appstore.

Even today, finding software, software update, compatibility, license management, consistent original media availability, ... are actual problems in the desktop (especially windows) world and almost non existent in the iphone/smartphone world.

Steps for Creating Serverless Microservices with AWS Lambda and Node.js
IRC can't ever have authentication, because most clients won't support it. You can't have conversations that rely on rich text, code blocks with syntax highlighting, embedded images, or web previews: these things are possible (in some cases there's more than one way of doing them) but some users will always be using clients that don't support them, and will regard you as the problem if you try to create an expectation that clients should support those things. In turn this makes useful integrations hard: you can have a bot that sends an alert message that heap usage is high on your server, but it's not going to be able to include a graph. IRC can't ever have server-side history and synchronise read status between devices; you can run another server that does that for you (whether that be IRCCloud, ZNC or something else), but at that point you're not actually using IRC, you're using that server's protocol.
The economics don't really work like that. These were likely built on a multiproject process similar to TSMC CyberShuttle where you share the wafer with many other projects to share costs. You can see _chris_ below said only a few dozen were made. This keeps costs within the range of reasonable, although I bet it still ended up costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.

Doing a run which would be vaguely profitable would require making millions of chips and cost millions of dollars up front, and very few projects could afford such a speculative investment.

SiFive did do a VC funded commercial run, but I bet they are not yet making a profit on their boards even though they cost $1,000 each.

> Why would finding life on just one more planet – out of the 195 or so "worlds" that we know about, including moons – suddenly make "the probability of life given a planet" high?

Because sampling. It's like election polling. If you ask one person who they're going to vote for and they say "Candidate A", you really have no idea how likely it is that candidate A has massive support. Perhaps you just happened to find the only person voting for that candidate! But if you ask the next random person and they say the same thing, well, the odds that you found the only two people voting for candidate A in your first two random asks is very low. On the other hand, if the second person is not supporting candidate A, that also helps you get a better guess at support levels.

You can never know the true level without asking every single person, but with every additional piece of data you can better estimate just what the truth is.

Just the same, as soon as we find another star with life, the number of stars we had to search to find that second one gives us a fantastic start to coming up with an estimate on how common life is. We presume that our corner of the universe is a good sampling of the rest, and extrapolate based on what we know here.

The key point is that extrapolation from a single data point is wildly innacurate.

Ideally, there would be an event emitted by the browser that could detect that a U2F key was inserted, but do to the design limitations of the key this is unlikely to happen. The U2F key is essentially a keyboard that has been plugged into your USB port. Some people keep "nano"[0] ones plugged in at all times for convenience. To address the common use cases of real users, you would need the browser to be able to check if an external keyboard is plugged in to a USB port on DOM ready, and when inserted into the computer.

I will let your imagination run wild with what a nefarious person could do if every browser has the ability to detect if you are using a specific type of USB keyboard. I could point you in direction of device fingerprinting to start, but that's the bare minimum of what you expose.

Complete, syntactically correct sentences that make sense. Paragraphs / sections that have a start and an ending.

Clear, concise and consistent language (part of the "7 Cs of communication that actually works"). Documentation is not a poem-writing contest. Do not substitute pseudo-synonyms (e.g. table, relation, schema), that's inconsistent and confusing.

Explain concepts and define key terms. A glossary tends to be immensely helpful, especially if it links back to detailled explanations of home-grown terms.

And the usual basics, e.g. think about the intended audience (what can you expect them to know, what do they want, then give them that).
