Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have tried running but like everything else, I give up after a few days. And also when running my mind is still racing with me...
Oh ok thanks. I tried two spaces indentation but it shows in monospace font without wrapping (probably meant to be used for code)

> These constraints are often in our head when using dynamically typed languages, or even statically typed OO languages.

I’m curious about this comment on statically typed OO languages. I work mainly with C# and don’t have much FP experience. Are you referring to exhaustive matching?

Edit: To clarify, I understand that C# compiler won’t prevent you from trying to access an element in an empty collection. What prevents you, in a typed FP language, from accessing head of an empty list?

I just checked my comments. In fact none of them have any replies. I suspect none of them are visible. The account is one year old.

I have two submissions. One has no comments, and the other has one comment (a regular reply to the submission).

I will write to the mods as you suggested. The account is irrelevant, I can use this one from now on. I just wouldn’t want to repeat whatever I did to get the account banned.

Thanks again!

You are right, this is a new account. I am not mentioning the account in question because, honestly, I am afraid of proving myself right, that I am dumb.

Back to the original question. I will check my old comments that were visible, if there is some mention about the ban. I think I’d remember if there was, but I’ll double check.

Thanks for the help.

I do not think that is the case. The last time I commented I logged out immediately after posting it, and when I am logged out, the comment is not visible. I see it when I’m logged in.

Thanks for the hint. I was not aware of it.

Some of them are downvoted and that is fine. The problem is that most of my comments (lately almost all of them) are not visible at all.

Could it be that I am classified as “dumb” by some automated spam protection?

Ask HN: Am I too dumb for HN

None of my comments on HN are visible to others. I have read the guidelines and I think I’m violating the “don’t post dumb comments” rule. I comment only on the things I’m interested in and usually I’m asking for clarifications of a post or a comment.Is it assumed that I have to be a professional with regards to the topic? I am mostly self thought and I know I have huge gaps in my...
