I had no idea pandoc was written in Haskell. I've found it to be an incredibly useful tool.

The ecosystem plays a big part in this. NPM is actually a pretty nice package manager to work with. Cabal, on the other hand, took me quite some time to setup and use.

Ah, I didn't intend to come off that way. In fact, I've only been out of school for a year now. What I was really getting at was that while in school, it's easy to allocate time to learning, since enrolling in a course effect

Yeah, it mentions that at the bottom of the post. I must confess that I've never heard of Church encoding before, but I'll be reading more about it. Thanks for the book recommendation as well.

Thanks for the links. I really regret that I didn't pursue topics like this while in school, but I suppose its never too late to keep on learning.

One of the answers towards the bottom linked to an incredibly interesting read on programming using nothing but Procs[1]. I found it to be incredibly fascinating, and it even goes into implementing FizzBuzz under these constraints. [1]: ht

Just to add to that, you can also use visual block mode to change text on multiple lines. You get a lot of the benefits of multiple cursors that way while still doing things in a more traditional "vim-like" way.

Do these promises work differently from most other implementations? Just sticking a `.then(console.log)` seems like it would yield `undefined` to the next function in the promise chain, no?

I can see Classy adding value, but repetition with dependency injection is a solved problem if you use ngmin[1]. [1]: https://github.com/btford/ngmin

This is super cool. With respect to debugging at least, this gives you a similar trace to what you'd get with the Zone.js library[1] it seems. Having this kind of thing baked into the JS engine is great. [1]: https://github.

You should write a blog post about this. There are a lot of parallel efforts going on to bring sanity to async errors in JS, and it would be great to see what the outcome of cross-pollinating these ideas would be.

This seems really cool! I'm surprised I haven't heard about this until now. However, this solution seems to be Node specific. The example where they lament about how this "was pretty much all we had" was about a browser

Yeah, I totally lost it at that last line. Still, I don't understand how people with grievances think it's ok to vilify and hurt others. The solution to one's suffering shouldn't be found by spreading the pain. Seeing ha

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not (text is poor medium for conveying such things), but OOCSS is very much a real thing. I love writing SASS in such a way. See this post for more info: http://ianstormtaylor.com&

Yeah, I forgot about that. Github Pages work great for this.

What errors are you running into? Jekyll is actually a great choice. Deployment to S3/Cloudfront can net you a highly performant blog at a very low cost. Comments can be brought in using a service like Disqus.

Well, hard-coded styles don't get cached by browsers, so that's probably not the best example. That being said, there are a lot of things people can do to improve performance that they neglect to. Sometimes it's just the pres

Agreed. I've been a CondoInternet customer for a while, and have had an incredibly positive experience. They even just announced a promotion on their gigabit plan for $80 a month with no contract. However, it is a pity that it's r

Agreed. I had no idea about the emulate feature until just now. This is life changing (at least as far as my work-life is concerned).

I find git aliases to be essential. Things just become too unwieldy without them. This is what my .gitconfig looks like right now: https://github.com/bilalq/dotfiles/blob/master/git/gitconfig

There's always value in being able to stick to one language. I've worked on a project where we had a Gemfile, Gruntfile, composer.json, bower.json, .bowerrc, and package.json all within the same repository.

The problem with interfaces is that you can't implement any operations within them. Traits and modules do allow for that. Regardless, compositition makes more sense for this case anyway.

So the question basically drills down to why one should use composition instead of inheritance. Most OOP languages only allow inheriting from a single class, and that alone is reason enough to prefer composition in most cases. It's one

The article isn't suggesting that he was assassinated. It's just remarking on the relative obscurity of his death.

Yeah, this is basically something along those lines. I found that Node fit really well for this task.

A pity the title doesn't mention rethinkdb at all. A new driver with generator support is very exciting news. By the way, for those that are interested, here's a link you can use to learn/understand how generators can help wi
