Chris. Please stop following my posts around the internet and spreading lies about me. Last time we talked chat was like that: ifesdjeen: i don't want anyone to fix my problems)
bitemyapp: I don't give a fuck what you want.
(sic.)There were several occasions on both IRC, and Mailing Lists when people were like: x: ifesdjeen: that's all functorial
ifesdjeen: functorial?
x: ifesdjeen: and dont you know that
Or: x: just write a function of that type for fmap
x: thats YOUR problem now isnt it
Yes, I didn't know what functorial is. And yes, it happened more than once.Please, stop spreading these lies. I have explained you more than once that I'm not posting things to Haskell Mailing List and try avoiding asking questions on IRC due to 2 reasons: 1. When I have a more complicated question (such as thunk leak detection, monadic order traversal, implementing StateT instances to allow state to be handled transparently in concurrent apps), these questions take more than 2 minutes to answer. And both you and other people couldn't answer them (see your email from several month from now). And I do not blame you or them for that. 2. When a beginner comes with a simple question, he gets based by "experts" So there are no questions you can ask and be happy: hard ones get ignored (by everyone including you). And easy ones make (some) "experts" talk with condescending tone. Yesterday, 5 people wrote me a DM saying that I should ignore you, because your behaviour has been known to be offensive and bad even since the days you've been doing Clojure. As for everyone else, please don't get offended if anyone happens to say you something condescending or offensive on IRC or Mailing List. People are people. But it doesn't mean you _have_ to keep posting your questions if you don't feel sure you're welcomed there. p.s. it's also not like Chris is hearing this for the first time. I've said same thing on Twitter and on lobste.rs: https://lobste.rs/s/hmmqkp/alex_p_s_blog_language_is_not_imp... |
The reason that I ask is that I'm concerned to hear more and more reports of such behaviour, but I've never seen it on the only Haskell mailing list I read (haskell-cafe) and I can't remember seeing that kind of thing on Haskell Reddit either, at least not without a number of helpful replies alongside unhelpful or dismissive ones. I'd like to see where this sort of behaviour is arising and see what I can do to improve things.
