"Everyone should build GHC from source at least once...You will learn a lot about how the sausage gets made."
A decade ago a friend paid a local company to build him a many-core compute server. I was fairly certain they'd under-spec'd the power supply. My favorite stress test was to build 32 copies of GHC at once, daisy-chaining each new copy to build another. Keep it running.
His computer started billowing smoke.
- Tomte 6y agoThat quote is misleading. The part with "how the sausage is made" refers to reading the developer mailing list, not to building GHC.
