On that note, is there a really basic caveman-friendly resource out there for UX-illiterate developers like me to help us make decent user experience decisions? A best practices text, or a guide for how to avoid the most obvious usability m

Been using it daily for several months now, haven't had much trouble with it. Worked seamlessly with over half a decade of accumulated vim plugins and config modifications.

Most of my nginx use has been to serve static assets and reverse proxy to web apps, so I'm not familiar with a lot of other use-cases here. What are some common problems I can solve with openresty vs what I can already do with nginx?

I've been using slack just fine in the browser, haven't had much of a need for a desktop version of it. I can just make a separate chrome instance for it and move it into its own xmonad workspace and switch to it much more conveni

We should see a lot more action from the frontend Haskell camp once GHC 7.10.2 drops and stack begins to support building ghcjs. The next 12 months will be an exciting time. Some discussion about it here: https://github.com/

Would be awesome to have easy to set up native logical replication with PG, seems like we might be headed in that general direction.

That was definitely a good book, would recommend it as well.

I'm sure this will soon be the next evolutionary step for something like stack or an add-on tool on top of it.

A couple of them mentioned here just for the Bay: http://www.wagonhq.com/blog/bayhac . Hope we still qualify as a startup!

Are there really that many cases of startups saying "oh man, had we only picked tool x instead of tool y, we wouldn't have been dead by now" ?

I'm hoping that we can find a GHCJS-based FRP solution at some point soon. I've seen Elm in action, and it's pretty neat, same with Purescript, but I'd rather stay within legitimate Haskell for the time being.

Isn't 2. basically a cron job you have to write yourself? Not hard, but also not exactly automated from what I can tell. You basically update a batch based on ids from a subquery, vacuum, analyze, rinse and repeat.

Timely article for me. Just now starting to deal with migrating Postgres tables where adding a new non null column is taking 4+ hours. Love how the process has to be completely different at this kind of scale.

From what I understand, they're not planning to go into the low-carb-high-protein market, as there is already a giant protein powder industry out there to cover that kind of need. I'd love to be wrong though, as I usually do 40P&#

Also let's not forget there are something like 300mil Android devices out there, whereas Linux is around 1% of desktop user base: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_system... It absolutely makes

I'm guessing Linux will be a very small % of the overall Rift demographic. It might not make sense for them to spend resources on supporting 1% (NB: random guesstimate) of the user base just yet, although I'm sure that'll hap

Very interested in this subject. Is there a comprehensive guide on how I can pull this off TODAY with e.g. AWS?

Check out this thread where I was investigating the issue, it has a lot more information on it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/yesodweb/LU1r1ygMuOY

Cool! Do you happen to have links to good "how to get started" guides for nix+haskell? Right now it looks like it's a battle between halcyon, stackage-cli and this. I don't quite know yet what fits our use-cases better.

Hey folks, author here. Happy to answer any questions. Shameless plug: we're hiring. If writing Haskell to improve education seems like a good idea, check out the role at http://functionaljobs.com/jobs/8823-haskell

Any particular reason why Yesod isn't a good fit there? Is the team large enough where it makes more sense for you to roll your own and not deal with making it super generic?

Great, I'll need to mine that for ideas, thanks for sharing! Are IMVU web-services also Yesod-based?
