Ok, sweet, so we just need to tell game developers to start packaging additional processors with their games. You need to get out more, you've completely lost perspective.

I kind of addressed that issue. If most people have the idea that your hammer is actually a screwdriver, it isn't their fault for misusing it. Someone put that idea there, and you as the creator of this not-a-screwdriver are responsibl

Arguments based on "X doesn't suck, 90% of people are just doing it wrong" aren't convincing to me. If nearly everyone is using a tool incorrectly, the problem is still with the tool. Maybe the tool doesn't suck, bu

I'm with 'roc' on this one. Including a bunch of obvious bugs tells me that you either a) can't distinguish between design and implementation or b) are more interested in shitting on other people's work than saying

Yes, and 'kyro' made comments talking about a trend that could have only been experienced during the beta. Having this many data points on battery life in a few hours would be a pretty neat trick, and a much more damning situation

They had moderators who apparently decided this didn't need stopping. The problem, unfortunately, is bigger than you think. That said, I agree. I don't want to have to apologize for my profession.

> not making a point about GPLv3 (arguments against which I also view as dumb, FWIW). Well, that's a viewpoint that welcomes open and reasonable discussion.

I think it could have waited just a bit so that the title only shows up on the side after you've scrolled entirely past the main one, but beyond that I don't mind it. It's not necessary, but it is marginally useful and not

As a parent-to-be, this is the one thing that scares me most. You can't learn risk assessment while living in a bubble. Which means I'm going to have to watch my kids run into problems I know I could prevent because what they lear

You should walk through a building construction project sometime. Your "all professions and walks of life" part is ... disturbingly accurate.

No real argument here, but Haskell does encourage you to use read only data structures unless you truly need writes. That said, there's still a wide variety of clever ways in which you can find your way to multithreading hell.

What "tracking"? It's a website where you make purchases, it would take a special effort to not have a record of your purchases.

Pretty sure he meant CoffeeScript. It doesn't remove mutability , but it does do away with default-global variables.

Yeah, we're in the process of migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL now. I don't think any other project at work has kept me up at night as much as this one.

For a long time MySQL was easier to get started with, and the integration with PHP made it a popular choice on shared hosting services. A lot of developers cut their teeth on MySQL, many haven't felt the need to seek out alternatives.

There's a world of difference between "using it" and sending agents out to chase down leads that are statistically worthless. You can believe that they have and are otherwise using such a system while simultaneously rejecting

As much as I might dislike some of the things weev has done, he shouldn't be in jail for this. The idea that we can use unreasonable punishment to "dole out justice" for other unpunished behavior is really disturbing.

To expand on that, these "custom" types are really the only time you have to do any extra work for support with aeson. If you leave your status field as Text or String it's implicitly supported. That said, aeson support for n

Well, then I think you should either learn category theory directly or learn Haskell without it first. Learning two brand new things at once usually produces an incomplete understanding of both.

Aeson is built on the Show and Generic type classes. Anything that supports those also basically supports the FromJSON/ToJSON classes that Aeson needs. Lists already support it (for types that also support aeson), as do Map/Hash
