>I am making no moral judgement here

You talk with seeming disgust about sex, I think you are.

>And allowing stigma to influence public policy decisions is harmful to the far greater majority

Yes, because if there is one thing straight people are compared to gay men it's stigmatised.

>Hiding details about outbreaks to avoid offending protected classes

The information isn't hidden - it's on the front page of BBC News in the UK where the disproportionately higher cases for gay men is. It's just unlike you they're aware that it's not a gay plague

>It was the same with the aids epidemic, the gay community ignored/denied/downplayed the demographic localization of HIV but the truth was that at it's height if you were not a gay male the epidemic was effectively irrelevant to your life.

There are a hell of a lot of people - and a hell of a lot of people who have sadly died - who would be very surprised to hear this. It's a pretty accepted view by those that study the AIDS epidemic that calling it a gay plague caused massive problems for people who weren't gay and contracted HIV.

Singling out gay men for what you have decided are immoral behaviours is exactly why there is a stigma around HIV and why people continue to fail to seek treatment.

If the close contact during sex is a good way to get infected then it makes sense that a group that are largely cut off sexually from the rest of the population would see it first.

I think this information is from the UK where MSM are more likely to be engaged with their sexual health (ie get tested more often) than the population generally

"the performance can be close to par with native apps"

That has not been my experience with any electron app. They are dog slow across the board

No. State school. Shit area.

It's rarely seen in normal society as well. I really don't understand where this person is coming from.

It doesn't just assume knowledge of the language though. Assuming knowledge of Applicative, Monad and Functor is fine but as the current top comment says there is a lot more than that. Most of which you wouldn't find in a normal Haskell tutorial/article

You can still do state using the state monad.

> this gives almost all of the advantages of Haskell

except one of the biggest ones - the type system. Obviously this is subjective though. Some people prefer dynamic typing :)

To be fair most of the trending github projects are libraries for use in Haskell. There are very few actual applications - there is pandoc, git-annex and hakyll and that is it.

Perhaps the reason people are not commenting on the correctness as much is that it is, broadly, correct. It's quite difficult to add to a discussion when it's already right - there's no debate to be had.

It seems, from the comments here, that speaking and donating against equal rights is a protected freedom but as soon as anyone is called out for it then that isn't allowed.

He can say what he likes, doesn't mean he isn't free from the consequences. Views that are wrong should be allowed to be held and said, but not be supported; especially by a company like Mozilla
