   Thanks for combining these images. The red square was really clever for peripheral vision identification of the image. I agree with a lot of what you said here. Weirdly, they went sans-serif with the 'i' and serif with the comma.

   Totally agree. You don't have to build a whole new tool just to try out this new method of editing code. I use both ParEdit and SHM from time to time and they work really well but it's a departure form muscle memory to say the lea

   When I read about topics in which I have first hand experience, I feel The Economist does an excellent job of portraying the facts and different perspectives. This almost never happens in any mainstream media, especially regarding technolog

   This is awesome. I've never heard of PLEAC before but it's exactly what I want to see when starting a new language. Idioms and best practices are much easier to grasp when factoring out superficial differences.

   I actually like the symbolic function names. They're a pattern and method to them that once you learn it, it's super convenient. Perhaps it just needs more obvious documentation.

   Totally agree on the runtime exception issue. I feel like even Java with it's typed exceptions are better. With a Haskell function I have no idea what exceptions it will through and worse, if it's in IO, I have no idea what async

   I've been using hg-git for years for almost all my git contributions. Works well.

   Some really exciting updates in here. It seems that while Git is popular for open source projects (thanks to GitHub), Mercurial is popular for internal repos and companies. That's personally how I use it.

    I've been going a step further than this. Not only revision controlling my dotfiles but also using Ansible to automate the process of installing all the apps I want, getting the environment in order, etc. Emacs and Mercurial have both

    My buddy works at YouTube on the player and I asked him this same question. Basically he said there's resistance to changing too much on the interface in order to not mess with success. The good news is, they know the issue(s).

    You're right I think ide-backend provides almost all of this. It was all working in FPComplete's web IDE. I think Chris Done is working on emacs integration with ide-backend.

    I'm always surprised at the complexity people bake into their CI systems that could be solved by simply providing CI with a single entry point in all projects (like this post suggests). This post is such a simple yet powerful idea. Tha

    Agreed. I think they offered the bounty with that expectation. A quote form their blog: "[...] security bounties can be a very effective way to show the presence of vulnerabilities, but they are hopelessly inadequate for showing their

    A small aside: Haskell has a native TLS implementation as well http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tls I think the dream is there for many but as other comments have pointed out, getting to the battle tested level of Op

    A side note: The Haskell runtime is written in C so Simon Marlow is also one of the best low level C hackers I've ever met.

    For those not involved in the Haskell community, Simon Marlow worked full time on the GHC compiler and specifically run-time system for many years. Along with Simon Peyton-Jones, he's huge in the Haskell world. Marlow also wrote the ve

    io-streams is built specifically for IO and is in the IO monad. This allows for performance benefits as well as simplified API like using normal IO functions for error and resource handling (ex: `bracket` can be used)

    Haskell has some great solutions for lazy IO: io-streams or pipes for example. Check them out! It's a great way to code IO.
