A large salary figure doesn't seem like a good reason to work what I personally consider an insane amount of hours. By all means, to each their own though.

Also piping in to say you don't need to understand category theory to successfully write production Haskell. It's interesting to learn and does help solidify understanding of some concepts, but by no means required. Highly agree t

Sorry, but this is a terrible analogy. Your storage service isn't used for your primary identity/access management to your house, bank account, or utilities, and this is where your argument breaks down. Much like internet should b

It’s not that what you do is bad, just the wrong place and time. This is a thread about GHC 9.x and linear types.

These days you can get your reentry permit directly at the airport, and in the case of a PR you can stay outside the country for up to a year. Much better than the “buy an expensive stamp” system they had prior. I moved back to the US at th

My company writes and supports a lot of custom Haskell software for our parent, an ISP up in Alaska. What we gain is a high level of confidence in our business logic rules due to strict typing, fewer overall tests, and by avoiding a few sma

I'd love to do this again, but my company uses o365 and will not enable IMAP. Do any of the common background sync apps like mbsync or offlineimap support this now?

Had a chance to tour a Trident submarine due to my uncle being its Chief Engineer. Through the eyes of an 8yo it seemed pretty huge, but looking back, the whole crew was packed into a series of tiny bunks between each of the missile tubes.
