False | didibus | t2_4xpocx2 | Where I work, given our micro service heavy architecture, it happens more often then you'd think that services are swapped out for brand new ones, while keeping the interface intact. A lot of refactoring is done where you just re-implement the whole API from scratch. That's on a good day. You'd also be surprised how often new services take the place of old ones, with major breaking APIs, and everyone is forced into a migration.
Some people call that Fast Software, a play on the word for fast fashion. The idea that business needs change so quickly that software isn't actually meant to last very long, but instead it needs to be replaced over and over again given revised requirements and expectations, taking into account the learnings from prior attempts. Thus it might be better to optimize for specialized, quick delivery and prototyping rather than generic, long shell life and reusability. Especially with efforts on the latter often failing to even achieve that goal in practice.
Anyways, that was a bit of a sidestep. To address your direct reply, most of the time for me is actually spent with developers thinking about what are and how can the code be written or modified to deliver on the requirements. The requirements tend to be 70% enhancements and new features, and 30% operational (like performance or scale related) and bug fixes. Yes, the study did not address all these. It just said green field impmementation of a small program was quicker. Obviously, we'd go back to Java if we didn't think Clojure continued to make us more productive even now that we are way past the initial part.
I've got no strong evidence that static types are bad or slow you down. And I only have minor evidence that dynamic languages make initial development of small program quicker. I also have minor evidence that people tend to misjudge the productivity gains of static type systems, especially given a small program.
On top of that I have my own experience with Java, C++, C# and Clojure.
I feel like, while it's not a lot to go by, it is more than people arguing with me in this thread. Who only have their personal experience and nothing more. Also, they did not mention what that experience was either and with what specific language, so they're not giving much info to reason with. | null | 0 | 1543623838 | False | 0 | eatnmbm | t3_a1o5iz | null | null | t1_eat6p1v | /r/programming/comments/a1o5iz/maybe_not_rich_hickey/eatnmbm/ | 1546258982 | 2 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | draculamilktoast | t2_7709j | First from the text:
> Getting clarification comments right is hard, since there is often no objectively right answer.
and as you say,
> ... as if the person reading has never seen a variable declaration before.
In a learning environment one can reasonably expect the reader not to know everything and it might even be appropriate to add such a comment. "Variable declaration" might be a pretty scary term if you're new to programming so writing it down might help you remember. As an example:
//Assign values to array
let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
While this may seem like a redundant comment its not obvious to all students that we are "assigning" values to an "array", so while this comment can be seen as useless from a more experienced programmers point of view, if you're new and especially haven't been paying much attention in class, this comment might have some utility.
Then on the other hand in this particular case I might add that we're declaring these values inside the function because it's an example and that you would usually get these values as function parameters, but if we're at a stage where variable declaration is a new thing, it is probably not yet appropriate to be discussing that slightly more advanced concept. But if you were to add that in the comment it wouldn't be a bad thing. So the comments, when it comes to code in education, can be used as a platform for you to repeat obvious stuff just to show off to the teacher that you know what you're doing.
In fact the best comment in that particular function may be that you don't need it as you can use
[1,2,3,4,5].reduce(function(a, b) { return a + b; });
instead. This example might even in some cases teach the teacher about the joys of functional programming but in the very least it shows that while you're capable of solving the problem, you are also a "team player", which may be an even more important thing than your raw ability to solve problems for some companies or organizations. | null | 0 | 1544760718 | False | 0 | ebqwnge | t3_a5u9us | null | null | t1_ebq2g9h | /r/programming/comments/a5u9us/how_to_write_useful_comments/ebqwnge/ | 1547583233 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | daviegravee | t2_u8hb6 | >isn't it just simple algebra?

That would be 2i^2, not 4i. You don't distribute the 2, evaluate the expression in parentheses first, then multiply by 2. Also, 2i * 2i = 4i^2, not 4i.
>2 * i * i = 2i * i = 3i
Again, that is 2i^2. You don't add coefficients when multiplying. | null | 0 | 1543623889 | 1543639403 | 0 | eatnoa5 | t3_a1rp4s | null | null | t1_eatl76k | /r/programming/comments/a1rp4s/why_is_2_i_i_faster_than_2_i_i_java/eatnoa5/ | 1546259006 | 8 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | annexi-strayline | t2_opgl37x | I think this is a shallow evaluation. No software is written once. No software spends its entire life maintained by one team.

False | restlesssoul | t2_472kx | Rich is a smart guy but I wish he'd learn a few basic things about the type systems he likes to rag on. He uses the type declaration of Haskell's reverse (reverse :: \[a\] -> \[a\]) as an example where the types don't "communicate anything" and is "almost information-free". It tells actually quite a bit. It says that reverse is a function that takes a list of anything and returns a list of the same type but it also says that the function's logic **cannot** depend on what the **list contains**. So, it cannot for example sort them. It can only operate on the list's structure.

False | funkinaround | t2_5ngc9 | He shows that the alternative to Maybe in Clojure is to use schema/select. For example, in Scala, you might have:
class Car {
make: String,
model: Option[String],
year: Option[Int]
}
getNewerThan(List[Car] cars, int year): List[Car] = {
cars.filter{ c => c.year.map{y => y > year} }
}
With schema/select, you do something like:
(s/def ::make string?)
(s/def ::model string?)
(s/def ::year int?)
(s/def ::car (s/schema [[::make ::model ::year]]))
(get-newer-than cars year =>
(s/select ::cars [s/list-of ::car {::car [::year]}])
(filter (fn [car] (> (car ::year) year)) cars))
With this approach, you don't "pollute" your car definition by saying that some things may be optional because I know in some contexts, we won't have them. Instead, you are just simply specifying what your car definition can support and then, when you need to make use of your car, because you know what you need at that time, you can specify what you need from your car. For other contexts, where you don't need to care what attributes of your care are available, you don't need to specify it nor worry about it being included.
I think this approach is a fantastic way to achieve the goal of: let me just work on maps of data and not have to deal with place-oriented-programming while being able to specify what these things are and what I need from them when I need it. | null | 0 | 1543624890 | False | 0 | eatopqp | t3_a1o5iz | null | null | t1_easft5i | /r/programming/comments/a1o5iz/maybe_not_rich_hickey/eatopqp/ | 1546259498 | 5 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | didibus | t2_4xpocx2 | That's pushing it a little. I'm only saying that static types havn't shown a clear and undeniable benefit, and that's why we're all here arguing about it.
I'm also very interested in the topic obviously. I'm a huge fan of static type systems. I know top of the art ones like Haskell, Idris, Liquid Haskell, or simpler ones like the traditional Java, C++, C# systems, or the optional ones like Core.typed for Clojure and Typed Racket. I havn't tried TypeScript though, but if I needed to use JavaScript, I'd definitly choose to use TypeScript or Flow over ES6.
Type driven design is fun, and static guarantees are highly satisfying. But as much as I have feelings of interest and safety with regards to static type systems, I can not say they are justified, because I have no data to justify them with.
The small data I have seem to show Clojure as an outlier in the dynamic world, and that static type systems in general bring only minimal benefits in terms of defects, while having a small impact on productivity.
This leads me to the conclusion that you need to judge a language as a whole. Because many parts might each contribute more or less to productivity and safety, and it is when you sum them all that big benefits are gained or lost. | null | 0 | 1543625230 | False | 0 | eatp2ag | t3_a1o5iz | null | null | t1_eatdyxu | /r/programming/comments/a1o5iz/maybe_not_rich_hickey/eatp2ag/ | 1546259653 | 3 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

You can say $80 is ‘too much for a text editor’, but give ST3 credit in being much more than just a text editor. Moreover it’s a user license, so it’s pretty well a one time thing.... I would guess the same argument is made against products like WinRar too which is even cheaper.

False | annexi-strayline | t2_opgl37x | >Does it support programming-by-contract?
Ada was one of the first languages to do this, and remains one of the most contractual languages out there. For example, you can explicitly state Pre- and Post-conditions on all functions and procedures. You can also define static and dynamic predicates for types.
Ada uses exceptions, and does it more elegantly than Java/C++/C# by not having "try" blocks. Rust decided to avoid exceptions entirely. Ada can implement the same kind of error checking and encapsulation just as easily though. In my opinion, it is more flexible, since it allows you to contain errors at different levels without explicit code to pass errors up.
The next version of SPARK (a subset of Ada) will include borrow checking. However, this was always possible and fairly trivial in Ada through the use of limited types, which can never be copied, and through "Finalization", which allows objects to be controlled during Initialization, Adjustment (assignment), and Finalization. | null | 0 | 1544762623 | False | 0 | ebqytig | t3_a5ylm8 | null | null | t1_ebqyegu | /r/programming/comments/a5ylm8/should_have_used_ada_1_how_some_famous/ebqytig/ | 1547584255 | 20 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | [deleted] | None | >In terms of wide-reaching impact, the stuff that’s happened with Facebook’s Newsfeed is really, really concerning. Fifteen years ago, let’s say, all of us were watching all the same TV programs, were reading the same newspapers. The places we would get our news, and especially our politics, tended to be universal. And what that meant was that when you had a national conversation about an issue, everyone was coming to that conversation with the same information. But as soon as Facebook decided that they wanted to become purveyors of news, suddenly you have these highly personalized newsfeeds where everything is based on what your friends like, what you like, things that you’ve read in the past. And that’s become so infinitesimally cut up into tiny little chunks, that suddenly when you try and have a national conversation, people are missing each other. They’re talking about different things, even though they think they’re talking about the same thing. Even before all of this Cambridge Analytica stuff, which is a whole other level, I think there is a really serious implication on democracy and on politics. But it’s something that can happen without anybody ever being malicious or having ill intent. It’s just a totally unintended consequence of barging in somewhere without thinking through what the long-term implications of being in that space was.
It's not about hypothetical and grandiose futuristic claims. It's about what's happening right now as a result of today's algorithms.

>**Why do we need an FDA for algorithms?**
>
>It used to be the case that you could just put any old colored liquid in a glass bottle and sell it as medicine and make an absolute fortune. And then not worry about whether or not it’s poisonous. We stopped that from happening because, well, for starters it’s kind of morally repugnant. But also, it harms people. We’re in that position right now with data and algorithms. You can harvest any data that you want, on anybody. You can infer any data that you like, and you can use it to manipulate them in any way that you choose. And you can roll out an algorithm that genuinely makes massive differences to people’s lives, both good and bad, without any checks and balances. To me that seems completely bonkers. So I think we need something like the FDA for algorithms. A regulatory body that can protect the intellectual property of algorithms, but at the same time ensure that the benefits to society outweigh the harms.
>
>**Why is the regulation of medicine an appropriate comparison?**
>
>If you swallow a bottle of colored liquid and then you keel over the next day, then you know for sure it was poisonous. But there are much more subtle things in pharmaceuticals that require expert analysis to be able to weigh up the benefits and the harms. To study the chemical profile of these drugs that are being sold and make sure that they actually are doing what they say they’re doing. With algorithms it’s the same thing. You can’t expect the average person in the street to study Bayesian inference or be totally well read in random forests, and have the kind of computing prowess to look up a code and analyze whether it’s doing something fairly. That’s not realistic. Simultaneously, you can’t have some code of conduct that every data science person signs up to, and agrees that they won’t tread over some lines. It has to be a government, really, that does this. It has to be government that analyzes this stuff on our behalf and makes sure that it is doing what it says it does, and in a way that doesn’t end up harming people.

False | audioen | t2_gz6hs | The innovation since PHP-based web apps of the 2000s has been to create the notion of persistent page state, which is updated by events. When Ajax was invented, the page state lived on the web client, and I think that was a revelation to all those people who tried to create component frameworks server side, but got bogged down by having to carry so much state in form hiddens from request to request because every little detail had to be recreated. With Ajax, you no longer had to do that.
The innovation given by React seems to be to use some diffing mechanism to rapidly discover the parts of page that are different, and focus any expensive operations only to the changed parts. While, say, Wicket, had the concept of server-side state in the 2000s, the notion of directly diffing the page state on server side was beyond the framework, and so the programmer had to tag the components that changed due to an event, and wicket would render those and send back the entire HTML for them.
I really appreciate the straightforward nature of the framework. While I personally am not excited about switching back to server-side HTML rendering, and probably won't ever go back to doing things that way, at least these days it's not that bad compared to doing things client side. The higher latency of anything server side pushes the desire to do more work on the client side, but on the other hand, the client side needs to keep the download size in control, which is challenging as apps grow ever more features. | null | 0 | 1544763363 | False | 0 | ebqzjrx | t3_a5umm4 | null | null | t3_a5umm4 | /r/programming/comments/a5umm4/phoenixliveview_interactive_realtime_apps_no_need/ebqzjrx/ | 1547584580 | 7 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | i_feel_really_great | t2_qzxow | > The next version of SPARK (a subset of Ada) will include borrow checking. However, this was always possible and fairly trivial in Ada through the use of limited types, which can never be copied, and through "Finalization", which allows objects to be controlled during Initialization, Adjustment (assignment), and Finalization.
I have always mentioned that to various people seeking comparisons with Rust. Which makes it the lesser important feature of the next release of Ada (2020?). The more important one is lightweight tasks a la Golang and Erlang. | null | 0 | 1544763472 | False | 0 | ebqznio | t3_a5ylm8 | null | null | t1_ebqytig | /r/programming/comments/a5ylm8/should_have_used_ada_1_how_some_famous/ebqznio/ | 1547584625 | 7 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | didibus | t2_4xpocx2 | I think you're trying to portray me like a zealot, but that's just a complete misrepresentation.
I use an array of languages, and I would use statically typed languages in certain situations. I'd also use dynamic ones. It's the pro static type evangelists that are the real zealots. I mean look at the OP's comment that started this whole thread:
> you're still smart enough to know that using a type system has advantages
How disingenuous and disrespectful is this comment? That's the sign of a true zealot to me.
You mention Nim, Rust and Idris. Okay, which one do you want to discuss? Or are you just ignoring the comment I replied too arguing that static type evangelists always promote the union of the benefits of all typed languages?
You want to talk about Idris? Okay, I love Idris. I'm a huge fan of Idris, Liquid Haskell, and F*. Neither are in a state where I can realistically bring them to my team and depend on them commercially. They also bring a pretty big overhead in terms of productivity, but that could just be me still getting a better grip with them.
What about Nim? I mean, Nim, really? Its type system is nowhere the same league as Idris and Rust, I'm confused why you bring it up? It also has a garbage collector. So what about Nim?
Alright, Rust is my second favourite language currently after Clojure. Static memory guarantees are a whole other ballgame. When I need critical performance, Rust is my go to. Obviously I wouldn't build a browser in Clojure.
> ignoring the experience of others
How am I ignoring it? If you have system programming experience, well, I can't even think of a single system level language without static types. C might be the closest in that it doesn't particularly have a very powerful one. But like why are we even arguing in this case. Go use Rust or stick with C.
If you come from a JavaScript background, and find your code to be brittle, find a better language. Maybe TypeScript, I havn't used it, but I do know its type system is unsound. So why not Bucklescript and OCaml, or ClojureScript? And if you were using Node, and care about safety and now security too, just don't. Use the JVM, or the CLR, or the Beam, or GHC, or Go.
My point being, judge a whole language for the sum of its parts. Realize that many things matters. If you had a bad experience with X, and X lacked types, don't think the lack of types was the entire root cause. If you had a bad experience with Y, and Y had types, don't think types were the entire root cause.
And to that, I'm arguing Clojure as a whole is a really productive and mostly safe language. Much more productive and safer than many statically typed languages. | null | 0 | 1543626931 | 1543633488 | 0 | eatqv1z | t3_a1o5iz | null | null | t1_eatdoqr | /r/programming/comments/a1o5iz/maybe_not_rich_hickey/eatqv1z/ | 1546260483 | 11 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

Dataset Card for "REDDIT_comments"
Dataset Summary
Comments of 50 high-quality subreddits, extracted from the REDDIT PushShift data dumps (from 2006 to Jan 2023).
Supported Tasks
These comments can be used for text generation and language modeling, as well as dialogue modeling.
Dataset Structure
Data Splits
Each split corresponds to a specific subreddit in the following list: "tifu", "explainlikeimfive", "WritingPrompts", "changemyview", "LifeProTips", "todayilearned", "science", "askscience", "ifyoulikeblank", "Foodforthought", "IWantToLearn", "bestof", "IAmA", "socialskills", "relationship_advice", "philosophy", "YouShouldKnow", "history", "books", "Showerthoughts", "personalfinance", "buildapc", "EatCheapAndHealthy", "boardgames", "malefashionadvice", "femalefashionadvice", "scifi", "Fantasy", "Games", "bodyweightfitness", "SkincareAddiction", "podcasts", "suggestmeabook", "AskHistorians", "gaming", "DIY", "mildlyinteresting", "sports", "space", "gadgets", "Documentaries", "GetMotivated", "UpliftingNews", "technology", "Fitness", "travel", "lifehacks", "Damnthatsinteresting", "gardening", "programming"
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
All the information fields have been cast to string, as their format change through time from one dump to the following. A reduced number of keys have been kept: "archived", "author", "author_fullname", "body", "comment_type", "controversiality", "created_utc", "edited", "gilded", "id", "link_id", "locked", "name", "parent_id", "permalink", "retrieved_on", "score", "subreddit", "subreddit_id", "subreddit_name_prefixed", "subreddit_type", "total_awards_received".
Source Data
The Reddit PushShift data dumps are part of a data collection effort which crawls Reddit at regular intervals, to extract and keep all its data.
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
See the paper.
Who are the source language producers?
Redditors are mostly young (65% below 30), male (70%), and American (50% of the site).
Personal and Sensitive Information
The data contains Redditor's usernames associated to their content.
Considerations for Using the Data
This dataset should be anonymized before any processing. Though the subreddits selected are considered as being of higher quality, they can still reflect what you can find on the internet in terms of expressions of biases and toxicity.
Contributions
