I think the experience is strongly dependent on the market type, customer base and amenability to marketing of your app. Tha apple stores and steam store seems to have made a world of difference for indie RPG maker, Jeff Vogel. http://jef

Thanks what's the size like? The last time I built a Haskell application it was quite large. This is more of an issue for mobile apps. FWIW I've done Scala/Java+Android and WP7+C#/F#, interestingly Wp7 is by far the easiest mobile to get a

Sounds quite interesting. Do you have a write up about this anywhere? Is the gain rom Haskell worth the impedance mismatch of cross communication?

Saw this recently. https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc/wiki It looks like there is no prebuilt package of interfaces with iOS so still a ways to go. Still great work though.

You sound like someone from the Konishi polity as described in Diaspora. I don't agree with you. The brain uses an associative learning algorithm and learning difficulty is proportional to how easily a concept can be integrated with what i

Bostrom's argument is also a statistical kind of argument. I can't know what Daniel was thinking - I merely hooked on the words most likely living in a simulated universe. and all of our sensory inputs are being manipulated in ways that

In terms of curious cosmologies, a certain formulation of the concave hollow earth theory is fun. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth#Concave_hollow_Ear... In one chapter of his book On the Wild Side (1992), Martin Gardner di

The boltzmann brain arises from a statistical fluctuation. I think he is talking about the simulation hypothesis and in particular arguments put forward by the philosopher Nick Bostrom.

I've read a bit on discovery. There are 3 main theories discussed on scientific discovery - the great genius, the cultural zeitgeist and just chance. The great genius without who history would be greatly changed was discounted on the common

I can give a very simple explanation of how luck is a part of the equation of success for anyone who has ever been born. The distribution of opportunity is clustered in certain locations. It is not even. To be born in a country with equal o

Some researchers are finding evidence that fiction improves a person's ability to empathize by sharpening their theory of mind. And by empathy I mean more than just being able to comfort people well. I mean the ability to know that She knew

The Antikythera Mechanism used to be on the top of my list until I read about Gobekli Tepe. That place fills me with awe to near bursting. I plan to visit this year. The site is a bunch of concentric T shaped monoliths - kind of like Stone

The best part of mathematics is learning how to reduce something into a solved instance of something else. Recognizing when things are the same in abstract. Very hard to do. As for the question. In english we have many words for those peopl

It's worth noting that Reifeid generics also have their limitations. I believe Haskell also does a similar level of erasure. Reified generics makes it harder to include higher order types and so the level of abstraction in Scala's collectio

A few notes I have been playing Jeff Vogel's games since Exile 3. Its great how the rise of indie, Steam and Apple's stores have really improved his outlook. I started programming because I wanted to make games like his. The content is in t

All the major OOP/FP I know support matching on objects. It is indeed a very powerful feature. See active patterns and extractors.

What can be done to speed this process up? What parts can be automated? Is the process for every gene unique or can some steps be factored out?

As not a parent I will not even pretend to relate with what you are going through. But this is one of the most moving and amazing things I have ever read. A book could not contain the details of just how incredible your story is. Science do

Mathematics also has many false cognates. I agree that they make the subject harder than they should be for beginners by bringing in extra baggage. It takes more effort to dampen an old association and compartmentalize a new one than to for

I don't agree. The use of I think could be a cheap defense. These are typically followed by "well that's my opinion so nyah". But I think could also reflect an epistomological stance that only a few things can really be known. As wamatt men

I find it strange the binary Weak/Strong AI assumption so many people hold. What about medium AI? Or Not So Weak AI, Or 0.23 Strong AI? Presumably, each level of Not so strong AI will help to lessen the gap between the then current AI and S

I've read a couple of texts on the history of math. Most of them were dry, a few were very entertaining like Crowe's on Vector Analysis. But I haven't found anything that beats mac tutor. I used to read it nearly everyday many years back. T
