is there a typeclass that would give a least upper bound on pairs of Linear.V2.V2? I.e. (V2 0 1) (V2 1 0) -> (V2 1 1)
deepfire 2017-03-08 17:21:43
I have tried to peruse the V2 class haddocks, yet to no avail..
sssilver 2017-03-08 17:37:20
we have a large number of junior programmers who can't tell if wisdom and experience or bullshit
sssilver 2017-03-08 17:37:27
and I just get so freaking annoyed
sssilver 2017-03-08 17:37:43
I need to learn to be bold and brash and stuff
Rotaerk 2017-03-08 17:38:11
well, it's a sign of the beginner when a person relies on rules of thumb (such as "best practices") to govern their decisions
Rotaerk 2017-03-08 17:38:33
it's the sign of an *expert* beginner when a person dogmatically adheres to these rules of thumb as dogma
sssilver 2017-03-08 17:38:52
he's not a beginner, he has like 15 years of experience shipping fairly large systems
Rotaerk 2017-03-08 17:38:55
(reference to http://www.daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-the-expert-beginner/)
erisco 2017-03-08 17:38:57
the expert beginner, heh :P that is a keen description
sssilver 2017-03-08 17:39:23
the expert beginner aka "the professional that lacked talent"?
orion 2017-03-08 17:39:30
That's a great article.
sssilver 2017-03-08 17:39:33
*the experienced professional that lacked talent
erisco 2017-03-08 17:40:21
I haven't read that article, but to me that term sounds to the phenomenon of people being most confident when they know just a little bit
erisco 2017-03-08 17:40:51
confidence tends to go from "I know nothing" to "I know everything" to "I know little"
Rotaerk 2017-03-08 17:41:34
the article does mention the dunning kruger effect
nshepperd 2017-03-08 17:41:39
heh, "orphan" functions. this program needs more implicit state!
