Be sure to link this the next time someone unironically recommends learning Hasklel
>purely functional dictionaries are typically 10x slower than a decent hash table
>most functional programming languages (OCaml, Haskell, Scala) are incapable of expressing a fast generic mutable hash table because they lack the killer combo of: reified generics, value types and a fast GC write barrier
>if you want a shared mutable collection such as an in-memory database then there is no efficient purely functional solution
>Compare Prim’s algorithm in 12 lines of Python with Prim’s algorithm in 20 lines of Haskell. And why does the Haskell use Prim’s algorithm? Probably because Kruskal’s algorithm is built upon the union-find collection and there is no known efficient purely functional union-find collection
>For years the functional programming community brandished beautifully short implementations of the Sieve of Eratosthenes and Quicksort algorithms. These were even taught to students for years. Only many years later did it emerge that their solutions did not implement those algorithms. Melissa O’Neill even published a paper correcting the Sieve of Eratosthenes in Haskell. In particular, her genuine sieve requires 100x more code than the original Haskell. Same for quicksort where Haskell’s elegant two-line sort is over 1,000x slower than Sedgewick’s Quicksort in C because the Haskell deep copies lists over and over again, completely blowing the asymptotic IO complexity of Hoare original algorithm

What the fuck even is haskell and functional programming in general
>one implementation is bad therefore the language is inherently slow

How many implementations of Haskell are there?
Any news on a gtx 1060, or should I just pick up an rx480 when it's released?
Did nvidia finally fix async?
Also what's a good cpu to pair it with?
an hypotetical gtx 1060 and the rx 480 are not even close to be in the same league
Anyone own a Dell S2716DG? I have IPS 24in 1080p displays currently at home but have a 144hz monitor at work, and now can't enjoy 60hz at all.
Thoughts from those that have it?
>>54932281
gsync so hope you own nvidia

Aren't they glossy ? never buy glossy screen.
Also I am willing to upgrade my screens. I am thinking about 2x aoc i2481fxh because bezels and neat look. Any thoughts ?

I'm trying to get a particularly shitty device online and have come across an interesting problem. When loading a web page in elinks the CPU usage pegs at 100% for about 55 seconds during which time I can't do anything. However if I download the page with curl or wget then view the downloaded page in elinks I can have the page up in less than 10 seconds including typing commands and the processor never goes past 60% usage. Is the problem here that elinks is just incredibly inefficient or is there some thing else going on here?
Also, what's the shittiest device you've got online in recent years?
>>54932124
wget will only pull the page by default, it wont traverse any of the backgroud bullshit like elinks tries to.
>>54932211
That could be it. I forgot I had another browser (retawq) installed so I tried to load a page in that and it loaded almost instantly with CPU usage going just barely over 60%.
>>54932232
That looks like shit.
From what I understand binary blobs are parts of code which cannot be read, and you are not really sure what they do. They could for example extract what you are doing on your computer and send this information somewhere.
Is this possible and if so is there ways to safe-guard oneself against this?
Buy/build a libreboot compatible computer.

>>54932065
it's possible, but you can try to observe for malicious behavior
>>54932137
How would I observe this?
I'm considering buying a used work station on eBay and adding a graphics card for gaming and work purposes.
You can get shit like
>3GHz Xenon Processors
>12+ GB of ram
>1TB + hard drive
for around $150 or even below a lot of the time.
The thing is that most of them don't come with a good graphics card.
So which graphics card nowadays will run most games?
Gtx 1080 founders edition
750ti will do most shit on medium settings at 1080p
not AAA titles, but i use mine for BF3 and terraria
Which would be better to spend money on in general?
an i5 with 16 gigs of ram
-or-
an i7 with 8 gigs of ram
I7 with 8 gigs of ram, you could always add more ram in the future for cheap.

just tell all the people you can about adblocking.
tell them to tell all the people they know about it.
>>54932021
>"But then how will the websites gain any monies?"
>>54932021
That sounds too simple... Too simple.
Wouldn't Google and other companies attempt to make ad-blockers illegal, since it is getting in the way of company finances?

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

There really isn't any downside to using linux for regular work...

HOLY SHIT WHAT???

For real
What the actual fuck
Not even a mortgage there was this article going around showing how women's code was more likely to be accepted in online communities and these faggots come saying the opposite now?
Holy fucking shit
I was expecting a rational article on how there are much less % of women studying programming or something like that, and instead I got my junkies rustled

pyra is garbage to be honest my family
overpriced, looks like a literal brick, underpowered and only appeals to the minority on the aspect of muh freedoms
gpd win is a better option for specs to cost, nothing says you cant install gentoo on it

You really can't.

What's the best fitness app for a calories burned estimate based on heart rate? Rather than buy a band and then use only it apps it's compatible with, I'm working backwards. Choose the app, then select a suitable band/device.
My activity: stationary exercise bike every day. So GPS tracking n miles n shit doesnt matter. Only calories burned going by heart rate.
Pic related - it would be great because it'll be cheap, but I don't want to buy it if won't not compatible with the best system for my purpose.
You already started out wrong. You're not going to make it.
>>54931764
> thinking the 250 calories you'll burn on that bike means anything in the grand scheme of losing weight
wew lad.
Download a calorie tracking app and control your diet, OP. Your meme watch won't save you.
>>54931872
>>54931961
Your assumptions are wrong. I've already started, I've been doing 1 hour on the bike every day for 12 months. Lost 32 lbs of fat. I'm at my target weight and am now only looking to maintain.
BTW, I'm disabled, with a genetic muscular but have still managed to do this. I have more willpower and pain endurance than you will ever develop. But thanks for your great advice anyway.
