Anyone knows if this also affects Chrome? I have Chrome saying Adblock is using 126MB of memory, but if there are giant stylesheets injected elsewhere that might no be reported fully in the Chrome task manager.

While I agree to some extent, I have to say the metaprogramming in Yesod does a good job at exposing solid information models for its abstractions, unlike, say reflection based metaprogramming in C# or Java. I find it pretty easy to bend it

Yeah, Angular and Ember both have their own 'runtimes' essentially which is in stark contrast to knockout, which really is just a library, and there really is a fundamental difference.

He claims it's to make wrong code look wrong. He uses the type system in order to prevent bugs, how is that abuse? Is the type system only there for performance in your opinion, or what's your angle?

Downvoted. I think the ";)" indicates pretty well that this is tongue in cheek. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about the Haskell community, which is very nice, from this.

Agreed. a b c d is a function applied to three arguments that returns a value. Functions are values, that's the whole point. For some reason it seems parent post would like to specifically indicate the case where a function application

Yeah, and current trends aside, surely the current design landscape in the Western world has more in common with traditional Japanese art and architecture, than does Japanese web design as it looks today, just as this article suggests.

Well, one problem is when the client is a government. Healthcare.gov can not exactly be described as rocket science either (even less so I'd imagine), but ended up costing a nice little sum of money, while also not even working.

Yeah this mysterious "typed haskell" thing seems to imply that the other version doesn't have types, while of course they are inferred.

Agreed. Unfortunately I can't say the same about Frutiger ripoff Segoe UI. I got tired so quickly of that font, and I barely even use Windows 8. You still see it all the time on other Microsoft branded stuff though, and all I can think

It's also quite possible for this type of functions to get a polymorphic type, in which case the compiler generate code that will pass along essentially a virtual table object for the particular instance of the call site. Hardly black

Just curious, why would you argue that you shouldn't have wanted it the first place? Monads are one thing, which you can approximate somewhat via LINQ, but there are other simpler patterns such as Monoid, that really makes sense to use

Wow, that's a boring attitude. I think it's great this guy is interested in typography and crafting his own fonts, and that the results are quite nice, professional or not, with the right principles or not. Just don't get why

Well surely it must be legal to create your own Spotify playlist with the same tracks? If you can see them online then all one of these playlists do is save you five minutes of searching...?

I do find it disturbing that Sweden /requires/ you to send your kids to a government institute for hours each day to be educated. In practice, of course, free education is a great privilege for most families, but I fail how you a

What do the bindings bind then? So, no, even in pure functions like f x = x + 1 x is a bound variable. It doesn't 'vary' in the sense that the value it refers to can be mutated, as in a imperative language, but it va

Rand rejected the Nietzchian ubermensch, favoring free and voluntary association. Fountainhead specifically references this with the downfall of Gail Wynand. The characters are idealized though, yeah.

That's a property of libraries as well, for instance avoiding the perturbation problem at compile time with with ekmett's AD library. Many Haskell libraries are focused on allowing you to define entities that correspond to your d
