The usual sporadic usage of Google now with voice controls, for me, comes from playing music and setting up alarms/reminders. I like waking up in the morning and going "Ok Google, play some music". If I had a more integrated

This assumes that you have an isA and an isB function. This forces me to write such a function which I might not have and in case of very very very large data types (like ~20-30, if not more, constructors) it becomes unwieldy and very messy

I'm intrigued, which one of these problems was fixed? Unfortunately I still have to use 7.8 so it won't help me currently but in the long run it's good to know.

There are a lot of really annoying quirks about Haskell. It is a beautiful language but after using it professionally for a while, some things come to mind that really make me pull my hair out of frustration (although I understand why they

I do things like this all the time in Haskell when quickly prototyping new code and then swiftly kick myself because of it. Safe languages are nice, but there's really no way to prevent a developer from saying "Yeah fuck it, this

You pretty much worked on that tiny 5% of projects that live outside of the monorepo. Good... job I guess? For 95% of engineers that will never happen.

Afaik you cannot submit code that breaks any test in the repo. I mean, there are ways to force it, but unless it's a special case you really don't want to.

You don't need a passport to travel to Dublin from mainland EU. You just need an EU ID card. The fact that it's not in Schengen just means that there are a bit tighter "passport" checks and controls and usually it takes

I was travelling the past month from Dublin to Nice and on my way back they wouldn't let me board the plane because I "just" had an Italian national ID and they wanted to see an actual passport. Been traveling for more than 1

What about having a client-side only "corruption" function that is unique for each client? The file is visually the same, the md5 hash is different but when the torrent client is sending the data it just "uncorrupts" the

You could base it off edit distance with all the other packages. If the distance is too close, then it needs manual approval.

As somebody who's had a dear internet friend die, let me tell you that yes, we'd miss you if you're gone! I was (and still am) part of a tight community of people on IRC and one day we realized a guy in our group hadn't

I had never heard of Twine before, I just had a quick superficial look at it and wow it looks really nice! To be honest I don't know how it compares, my engine is closer to something like Ren'Py but I plan to provide more freedom

Most modern engines, as far as I know, implement a component-driven approach. You can see it in pretty much any kind of public engine like UE or Unity and it works really well. Composition over inheritance any day. I don't really see w

Reading this article is like reading something I might have written myself. I, too, just like the author, have been toying around the idea of Clojure games for a long time. I've made small games (Ludum Dare entries mostly) and started

Keep in mind I really wasn't a TA. I was a normal student learning the material with the rest of the class and taking exams, doing projects and getting scolded by the teacher as was everyone else. Most of my extra "teaching"

It's about critical thinking, it's not a class to teach children how to sort things... I'm really surprised to see a comment like this on this website.

How are they "being dicks"? It's their job, they have to ask questions and find cracks within the legal system to prove their point. That's literally their job, no more, no less.

There's a period between those sentences. The "In 2012..." is related to "...a judge ruled that APIs can't be copyrighted at all". I don't know when Oracle bought Sun (didn't look it up), but this is
