Haven't run into issues with laziness yet, but, as you guys pointed out, our use-case is very short-lived. We can likely get away with some sloppiness here and there because of it. I'm sure I'll still get burned by this at so

Haven't found it yet. Nobody else is hitting this either apparently. Manually limiting the # of cores on GHC pretty much removed the issue for us, although it doesn't give me the sense of closure I was hoping for. I'm vaguely

Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable. Is the idea here that they're keeping these storages as general-purpose as possible to serve many different use cases and survive the test of time and change? Or do they specialize these data center

Your last sentence is basically what we did. It's hard, but it's doable.

Yesod's great. There's a bit of a learning curve, but it comes with a LOT of batteries.

A few of those will likely be server-side and not on your personal machine, but they're out there.

We used functionaljobs.com for hiring our very latest Haskell developer (ex Scala guy) at Front Row, check it out, it should at the very have a few interesting openings on it. Also, companies actively using and recruiting for Haskell are no

Exactly. And rolling your own is pretty wasteful when most "off the shelf" ones are good enough for most use cases.

Having found out in person how superginbaby teaches her kids, I realized just how primitive my upbringing was many years ago :)

It's a possibility, which is why you need to evaluate how much the community likes the project, how much they depend on it surviving, how many people would be likely to keep it afloat in case the core devs peace out, how active the cor

This is actually 100% my experience, wow. I started with Rails many years ago, had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Was just googling for gems and snippets from Stack Overflow, if anything ever broke I was done. A few years later I deci

One of my biggest personal and professional mistakes so far has been not seeking quality mentorship early enough. The boost in growth you get from having someone actually care about how you are doing is practically incalculable. The bond be

We make a math web app / mobile app that teachers use in school. We regularly get customer support requests about icons missing from their desktops, their computers misbehaving, the network going down.

I was going to say exactly this. A fast browser with pentadactyl, but still the ability to use heavy SPAs like Asana without too much of a hassle.

Theory is generally wasted on me until I bang my head against the code for a while. If you're like me, you'll probably find it easiest to try to use monads in real code over and over, mostly based on existing examples, and then it

What does "lack of applications" mean? As in, not that many apps are written in it, or that it's not applicable to many of them? It's a fairly general-purpose language, you can get most common programming tasks done in i

Yesod is a real gem, been using it for most of our web applications and I discover new great things about it every day.

We use Haskell at https://www.frontrowed.com/ for most of our web applications, internal tools, email senders, API etc.

Can't have a real dog, but I'll sure go for one of these.

Does this impact SoftLayer in any way?

Either way, I will be happy to be driven around by my digital overlords.

This is awesome, I was actually looking for something like that out of sheer curiosity, but perhaps it'll make it into production at some point.

I've been dreaming of something like that ever since the Oculus got big.

I'm open to suggestions. What provider offers very affordable bandwidth?

by akurilin 12y ago
Awesome, thanks for clarifying. I hadn't thought about ads, that'd be somewhat disruptive. Our use case is somewhat similar to Khan Academy: we display help videos for students as they use the application and need assistance. It&#

Thank you for responding. The reason why we're trying to switch to having someone else host these videos is mainly bandwidth costs. Storage is super cheap, streaming that data out to the Internet, not so much apparently. We currently s
