So, uh, how do we go about adding new locations? Specifically, Canberra, Australia would be great =)

The Haskell library safe-money does a great job of handling these weird cases for currencies. It has a separation between the types used for calculations and storage/presentation, and lets you define arbitrary ones so in your example y

Does anyone know how this relates to the new ARM pointer validation stuff Apple just shipped on the XS? I haven't seen much press about this except on Risky Biz.

So does 1Password and it has done so for much longer than they have offered their own service.

In Australia I transfer money to mates at least once a week. Makes going to the pub or out to dinner with friends so much easier.

Even if this doesn’t increase security, you should still do it in the hope the user will check the username they’ve just typed as well as retyping the password.

So you think that calling out someone who makes (very) public, demonstrably false statements for pretty clear personal gain is internet bullying? I would call it being held to account - what sane society would listen to such a ridiculous st

Service doesn’t really matter if it’s less than an hour.

This page made my iPhone 5S really sad, scrolling was really laggy - i'm guessing all the clojure code was using something like clojurescript? If so, it really didn't need to as it was all static but causes a seemingly really larg

Trifecta is best used via the parsers library, which is fairly well documented. This also (in theory) allows you to switch which parser you use between trifecta, parsec, attoparsec and even ReadP. I say in theory because the the semantics o

Mark Hibberd gave a great talk at Yow! LambdaJam this yeah on writing mundane code in Haskell, with a tutorial on writing a shell. The code can be found on https://github.com/markhibberd/xsh and the talk should be on Y

Recursion is only a bad idea in languages with poor support for recursion, it's not difficult to write efficient Haskell code which produces good assembly with fairly obvious recursive algorithms. Optimisations like stream fusion and l

Use CloudFront? Took me about an hour to set up for my S3 based blog, free TLS, http/2 and IPv6 without any setup apart from a checkbox.

Gotta talk to those subs somehow, those ultra long wavelength Comms aren't exactly high bandwidth. (I'm just making this up but it feels plausible, at least a few decades ago)

Just because something uses ARM doesn't mean it'll be easy to target, there's a hell of a lot more to getting something running on an embedded system than just what basic architecture it supports.

I guess that my point was that for the situations where the built in syntax in OO languages is used, the lens alternative is usually at most about 2 characters longer, which is hardly more inconvenient.
48.
by axman6 10y ago
On the contrary, lenses are far more powerful than what's available in JavaScript and all other OO languages. Traversals and Prisms give so much power that's lacking in OO

Wind power is already cheaper than coal, at least in Australia, even when you ignore the cost of building the coal plant (it's been way cheaper for a long time if you factor in the initial construction cost), and solar will soon reach

This is just utter nonsense and shows a complete lack of how the electricity grid operates.

by axman6 10y ago
Yeah I'm sorry this is complete nonsense, this is exactly how it works and has always worked. If Google pays for renewables to be produced, uses some energy that happened to be produced at a coal plant but someone else uses the energy

by axman6 10y ago
I don't agree it is deceptive, if Google paid for 1GW of renewable electricity to be generated and 1GW is contributed to the grid from renewable sources then everything is as it should be. If the EMF that gets to Google's servers

For something as fundamental as a container library, GPL will basically mean it's not used widely. There's a reason many language ecosystems generally use BSD/MIT licences for almost all libraries (haskell being just one exa

(Reposting from lobste.rs) It's a shame there wasn't more information on the tools Ada provides for concurrency - I haven't seen another language which gives you as much flexibility and power to write safe concurrent code. It

I'm confused, is this just Structure of Arrays as a service for columnar data? It's not clear to me what this actually does.

I actually disagree with both your conclusions - the techniques you mentioned exist to get around painful deficiencies with HTTP/1.1, and are anti patterns in http/2 - sprites exist to reduce the latency of loading many small imag

Can you expand on all of these complaints? I've been using Haskell for about 9 years and none of these are things I've ever had a complaint about, except package management, which I find stack's solution works incredibly well

I'm not going to argue with you, I don't think you're contributing anything to the conversation, and your tone definitely isn't, that's all

It was possibly even a Apple added their blocks extension to C and Obj-C, I remember this verifying some issues for Haskell tool which parsed C.
