2024-09-21 10:19:33 +0200 <tomsmeding> :D
2024-09-21 10:19:29 +0200 <ski> (clearly operators are opposition, adversaries)
2024-09-21 10:18:39 +0200 <tomsmeding> which is a bot from the irc server that mediates admin rights to the actual people having said access

2024-09-21 10:18:19 +0200 <tomsmeding> that user here is ChanServ
2024-09-21 10:18:15 +0200 <tomsmeding> an "op" (not "opp") is an "operator", i.e. a user with admin rights on the channel
2024-09-21 10:18:00 +0200 <tomsmeding> gary_borg: ah lol

2024-09-21 10:17:31 +0200 <Inst> just in Haskell it's a lot more wonky
2024-09-21 10:17:25 +0200 <gary_borg> https://imgur.com/a/7GTqvrr this is what im referring to.
2024-09-21 10:17:23 +0200 <Inst> after touching julia, why yes, you can have an entire language made out of typeclasses (since implicitly in Julia every function is a typeclass)
2024-09-21 10:16:28 +0200 <tomsmeding> sometimes they are, sure, but when modelling data, they usually bring more harm than good
2024-09-21 10:16:06 +0200 <tomsmeding> Inst: existential types are almost never the right answer
2024-09-21 10:15:40 +0200 <Inst> tomsmeding: tbh you're right, you could use typeclasses and existential types for that
2024-09-21 10:14:51 +0200 <tomsmeding> irc does not have a concept of "opposition", so not sure what you're referring to :)
2024-09-21 10:14:37 +0200 <gary_borg> Opp (Opponent or Opposition) "Opp" is a slang abbreviation of the word "opponent" or "enemy." It is commonly used to refer to someone who is viewed as an adversary or someone with whom one has a conflict or disagreement.
2024-09-21 10:14:36 +0200 <gary_borg> Opponent or Opposition
2024-09-21 10:14:20 +0200 <gary_borg> opposition
2024-09-21 10:13:27 +0200 <tomsmeding> what do you mean with "opp"?
2024-09-21 10:13:12 +0200 <gary_borg> what did i do wronh
2024-09-21 10:13:09 +0200 <gary_borg> why is someone here my opp
2024-09-21 10:13:04 +0200 <gary_borg> im confused with this app im new ot irc
2024-09-21 10:12:56 +0200 <gary_borg> why is haskelbridge my opp

2024-09-21 10:02:43 +0200 <tomsmeding> (which is also how all of the implicit techniques are implemented; the compiler just knows about them and resolves references to the contained structure automagically)
2024-09-21 10:02:43 +0200morb(~morb@pool-108-41-100-120.nycmny.fios.verizon.net)
2024-09-21 10:01:47 +0200 <tomsmeding> (if you don't need the "implicit" part, you can just use what OOP calls "composition", i.e. just put the parent object in a field of the child object)
2024-09-21 10:01:16 +0200 <tomsmeding> which is analogous to subtyping in OOP, where a specfic object is also implicitly a more general object
2024-09-21 10:00:45 +0200 <tomsmeding> i.e. if the more general behaviour is a superclass of the more specific one, then any type that implements the specfic behaviour will be implicitly known to also implement the more general behaviour
2024-09-21 09:59:46 +0200 <tomsmeding> type classes can give you kind of the dual of that, "sub-behaviours"?
2024-09-21 09:58:30 +0200 <Inst> I just brought up the library as something close to what I wanted, I'm just doing straight ADT (without fancy type mechanics) until I get the hang of things, but it's annoying how I can't use subtypes etc
