Is there some generic framework for these ideas? For example, if I simplify my country "social net", it basically is, that either you have job and pay taxes, or you don't have a job, and you can apply for government help. The

"Under BIG, production drops, consumption rises, and so do prices. Suddenly, the value of the BIG grant has been eroded. Great success: the poor are still poor." I was under impression, that BIG works on assumption, that productio

Oh, will you elaborate on the pitfalls? :) I have just started using C# with RX extensions to do some ui work, and so far I liked it. But I have never utilized RX directly on managing event-streams, mostly for binding changing data to vario

Is there a way to see that? My google-fu is a bit rusty, but aren't there monitoring sites, that could show, where in the world the traffic is coming? :)

Long time ago (~7 years ago, while at high-school), I have used pm-wiki[1] for a small lab-team (~10 ish people) to collaborate on our research projects :-) We eventually moved to tarballs and emails, but wiki was really easy to setup, had

It ... depends? If your rake|make tests last few minutes, you probably can do without CI just fine. I am working Q/A, and each night we run install tests on latest repo, i.e. provision a clean machine, run the install script, check all

To be honest, best way so start FP, is to have project where you are forced to do FP :) In my case it has been a quite an awesome small selenium test-framework written in clojure I needed to use, while working for RedHat :) Just pick a proj

20hour/week, my first job, working at RedHat while still at school. Of course, they paid me by the hour, but I don't think I would have managed to finish my masters thesis on 40h/week job :) RedHat is a large corporation, so

Interesting. I have already seen the approach "Lets design this in haskell and write production code in C" for http://cryptol.net/ , but due to limited scope (mostly functions of several hundered bits input and out

Man, I have so many questions :) Why not just use the haskell version? What did you use to check the haskell version? What did you use to check that C implements what haskell implements? Edit: I have read http://ertos.nicta.com.a

What language would that be? I have skimmed through your papers, and they seem interesting, but can't find any downloads to play with :-)

Actually, I almost feel, that in the czecho(-slovak) tradition, it almost is that way. There is a pattern, where often you have at least two universities, and one of them would be branded "technical". I.e. Charls University and Cz

I met those guys at fosdem as well some years ago. It was a small game-dev room, they stayed through all the presentations having their miniature hack-session throughout the whole time :-) It was great. Remember that one of them had a great

Of topic: before I clicked I have half expected applications of some deep knowledge of category theory in topology to programming :D ... I guess that is what happens when you progam in haskell and share flat with algebra master student.

Unlikely. Afaik [1], the crucification of Jesus, is one of the few events of his life we can account for historically. Anyway, as far as the description of this "bible" goes, even wikipedia has much better information on Gospel of

You get used to it, more or less. It is similar to naming your variables i,j,m,n,x,y, or using bash | or > or >> ... you get used to, that in haskell x:xs refers to head and tail of a list.
