   Uh, just the other day I did a change to my init.el, which is apparently similar to what I'd have done with req-package https://github.com/berdario/dotfiles/compare/8e98d5569a4caaf... req-compare is clea

   This! ...and moving from javascript strings to Ruby strings is far from a "30 seconds syntactical exercise", unless you don't take into account the fact that: * Ruby strings don't necessarily have all the same encoding *

   I just tried right now and federation is still "working". Or at least I can send messages to people on other networks, but I cannot receive them. I wonder if Google is truly phasing it out, or if it's just an issue with the

   I'm afraid to say that I haven't had a positive experience either, but I was just interested in CoApp out of curiosity: I tried to see if it was doable to use it to package pure Python (or other interpreters) libraries. Obviously

    > Trying to do any sort of open-source development without a library sandbox, in any language, is madness. I agree, but there're some interesting differences in how different language tools implement a sandbox. Python and Haskell (w

    Thanks. Since we got the ball rolling (I planned to ask it on some mailing list, but I kept procrastinating to write a semi-formal mail). Do you know of any way to use multiple stackage repositories? (for now it's not a problem, but I

    To be fair other languages need sandboxes as well: Virtualenv in Python and Bundler in Ruby fill the role But in a language like Haskell, a sandbox is definitely a subpar solution (glacial compilation times and huge artifacts sizes inside ~

    Since there aren't a lot of full time Haskell developers, I'm curious to know what do you use to setup your projects and handle dependencies: hsenv, cabal-dev, cabal sandboxes, nix, stackage ... or do you include everything in you

    Afaik a pivot happens when there's a problem with the current product/strategy. If LT is truly used by "lots of other people" (I believe it is) it shouldn't be difficult to salvage it: just run another kickstarter.

    Sure, I completely agree with the sentiment. I just pointed it out since you used 4 US companies as examples, and I thought you could be implying that it could be easier to start a company there for a foreigner.

    Thanks, but that's not enough. The error seems due to the fact that `meter` is passed as an argument to `1` which is not a function, and indeed I don't see how that could be valid haskell code (unless there's some language fl
