Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.Obligatory "Hitler reacts to Functional Programming"
They come up because people who don't understand them think they are important and people who do understand them want other people to know.Also, speaking of memes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqLBc1vFwI
I don't know why but the first thing that came into my mind was this video. Btw I love Haskell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqLBc1vFwI
I’m with Hitler on this
⬐ danmurThat just gets better and better⬐ exdsq⬐ frobI remember it every few months and get a decent laugh from it each time!`Monad is just a cute name for flatMap`Hahaha! I swear this is exactly how I feel halfway through every monad tutorial I find.
⬐ skaviwell, bind (>>=) literally is just flatMap.
I recommend not watching this and searching for the FP / Haskell version of this. It is really funny and much more clever imo
Can't resist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqLBc1vFwI&t=1s
⬐ SebastianFrelleBest laugh I've had in a while.⬐ version_fiveYes, this was unfortunately my first thought too when I saw the headline. The video is really funny though. I don't know how popular a meme it is generally, the first and only time I saw it used was this one wrt functional programming and it still makes me laugh every time I watch it.
Mandatory Hitler reacts to Functional Programming comment
Whenever I see Milewski’s name I immediately think of this video: https://youtu.be/ADqLBc1vFwIIt’s a shame I don’t know that many people who’d enjoy it as much as I do!
⬐ rottc0ddA great find. Thanks.
As someone who respects functional programming (because it removes geniuses from competing in my space) here's a nice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqLBc1vFwIWhat is the beautiful monospace font in the pdf here http://brendanfong.com/programmingcats_files/cats4progs-DRAF...?
⬐ cgh> here's a nice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqLBc1vFwIThis made me laugh way more than it should have. "Why don't you pattern match my fist all over your faces!"
⬐ mcguire⬐ CobrastanJorji"Don't worry, Haskell transpiles to Java now."And the last line....
⬐ smarx007https://www.metalevel.at/prolog now you found it!> The number of elements of a set X is called its cardinality because cardinals were the first birds to recognize the importance of this concept.Alright, maybe I will keep reading this book.
⬐ enriquto> What is the beautiful monospace font in the pdft1xtt, from the txfonts package, freely available
⬐ yearoflinux⬐ madhadronThank you! No ttf/otf though :)⬐ vertebrateIt looks like a fork of Luxi Mono with slashed zero, which is available in ttf. And there is a more modern version of it with better character coverage -- Go Mono.The last line. Oh god, the last line. I haven't cackled that loudly in months.⬐ infogulchThis caused me to choke on my coffee.Hitler: What's a monad anyway? No one who understands monads can explain what they are Underling (hurriedly): A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors⬐ sloucher⬐ marcosdumayYou just made those words up right now!⬐ Koshkin> A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctorsA helpful analogy can be drawn by comparing two facts: a composition of something with its inverse produces the identity (a.k.a. unity, to use the Latin root), while a composition of something (e.g. a functor) with its "adjoint" (not quite the inverse) produces something similar that is better said in Greek.
⬐ infogulchAnd thus, another cycle is completed.Oh, another Haskell can't do IO joke.⬐ roflc0ptic⬐ mumblemumbleI think the joke was that Haskell can do IO but haskellers can’t⬐ mumblemumbleYes, but this time it was a funny one. I laughed, and not just at AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean.Gotta be able to laugh at yourself sometimes.
⬐ marcosdumayThanks for replying. I gave up on the beginning because those jokes tend to always be the same.(And to be fair, half of them are the same overused ones. But the others are good.)
⬐ mumblemumble⬐ dllthomasIt's true, and it starts off with the very worst one. I almost closed the tab like 30 seconds into the video.⬐ Ma8eeThe beginning wasn't great, but it had some really hilarious lines later.⬐ tsimionescu"Thank god you haven't found Prolog..."But the important takeaway is that if you don't like Haskell, you might as well be Hitler.That joke would have been a lot funnier 28 years and 1 month ago.⬐ mortdeusyou are my hero for this comment.⬐ mindcrime> here's a nice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqLBc1vFwIOMG. That might just be the funniest god-damned thing I've ever seen in my life. Thanks for sharing that!
On a separate note: does anyone know where this footage is originally from? Some WWII movie, I would guess?
⬐ nextosI laughed a lot with the video too.Jokes aside, a book like CTM shows both paradigms have their place, and can also co-exist in the same system.
Besides, this paper cleared all my doubts about high-order FP having a lot of (unexploited) potential:
⬐ Tainnorhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_(2004_film)Probably one of the best "WWII movies" (it's really only about the final days in the bunker) ever.
⬐ mindcrimeThanks. I will check that out.⬐ abrookewoodJust seconding that Downfall is brilliant. Totally off-topic now, but also extremely good is Das Boot.
