Thanks, corrected.

It seems fair. I have an hypothesis beyond the fact that it's a niche so self-motivated people are pre-selected: what somebody needs to learn Haskell are in good part applicable to computer science and programming languages whereas for

I have found `use-package`, some hooks and some modules with provide/require are enough. These Emacs distribution come and go and I'm not sure doom Emacs will be there in 15 years. Also while they are good at providing something c

It's like the prisoners of Plato's cave. One could describe it to you but it's nothing like trying it. I would suggest you look for some videos or blog explaining it, or take a a week-end to try. The term REPL is here decepti

I doubt it's for the resume because there are very few ocaml jobs.

I started it last year again and was surprised that the network is still working.

by Kototama 5y ago
I doubt it, ocaml has very little job offers. Didn't you have a process or better communication to avoid this situation?

It sounds like you had a smart developer that needed more challenges at work :) ?

Regarding the performances issues that you had with Qubes: I once disabled power management on one of my laptop and it moves Qubes from barely usable to usable. Still close to unusable: Web conferences in the browser (webex for example).

His blog is really great but last time I didn't find a way to post a comment or to contact the author. Do somebody knows better?

by Kototama 5y ago
I'm excited. Haskell gets a lot of attention but I have the feeling that OCaml may be better for engineers .

Very smart idea and great execution. Allowing to experiment quickly on infras/devops knowledge is the key and tools like Ansible are useless for that.

Multithreaded C++ programming without bugs is still very hard. There was an interview on Mozilla and why they started Rust and everytime they had some path in the code with threads, they found some concurrency issue. I can't find the l

One could almost replace C++ by Scala and C by Java in the text :-)

That would for sure push our community to better describe the runtime of the different solutions. We talked only about syntax, features, semantic but very little about the runtime characteristics of the different platforms (Java, .Net, BEAM

How does that differ from other architecture patterns?

It's not all or nothing. We don't need to give up because some aspects of a system are insecure. There are different threats and different answers. Qubes got it right in its philosophy. We either get system secured by correctness

Same, more than 10 years and I really should have known M-\ earlier :-) (or remembered it, I think I read about it earlier). The thing is with Emacs, you can really optimize every key stroke if you want, but usually I'm too busy using

Good luck finding a place that is geologically stable and will stay so, far away from any human population, far away from any water source, far away from valuable earth materials.

For some of the IDE functionalities Emacs can be behind. Like debugging, or jumping to function definition (it depends of the languages and extensions). For some other functionalities it is far more advance, like support for Git (magit) or

What is more innovative, a light IDE with plugins written in JavaScript and backed by a big company or a small Lisp machine disguised as a text editor where every key is bound to a Lisp command and every changes and extensions in its code o

Previous lisps had only the list as a datastructure with a special syntax and the program was only represented as lists. There are different "schools" now. Some argue that representing the program only with lists is more uniform a

I once updated the dependencies of a octopress blog and it changed the enumeration rendering of lists from bullet points to numbers :-)

In the case of Hugo one can download a binary release, so it does not suffer from the same problems.

I'm not buying the "large-scale" and "serious" applications (whatever that means) argument so easily. The functional programming community builds large-scale applications and there is no trendy dependency injection

It's rather good and at some point they managed to have release for my previous phone model when the lineageos stopped! I used it without their cloud services. Some of the pre-installed apps cannot be removed (like email, pdf readers)
