   I seem to remember the trauma inherent in the environment being identified as a causal factor. I can't remember the details now, but I think some of the individual chimps involved has suffered some childhood trauma due to the recent ci

   Didn't Sweden actually pass a law taxing fat at some point? Actually, now I think about it, it was Denmark.

   I for one would welcome the opportunity to find and learn from people like you. If you guys don't hang out at the latest hot technology meetup and you don't change jobs that much (or that publicly) where does one go to seek you ou

   I've just finished a stint running a team building a start up in Haskell and clojurescript. It's been an amazing year, and for me has completely vindicated my view that not only is Haskell fine for real world use, but for a number

   I've just finished Waking Up by Sam Harris and The Trauma of Everyday Life by Mark Epstien. Both of these books are fantastic and really put the answers to the "Why Meditate" question front and center.

    Just bought the book today ($10 is too low!). After a few nixos hiccups today, so far so good :-)

    I think this is awesome! However for me then most interesting thing is the tech behind it. Having worked in the same office as the team behind this and been to a few talks that Tom's given, here are a few things that HN might find inte

    Extensible effects are easier to compose in arbitrary ways. If you have a monad transformer stack you can only have each type of transformer once in each stack before you have to start using lift . lift . lift to get to the inner layers as

    Try Nix(Os) https://nixos.org/wiki/Howto_develop_software_on_nixos We use it at work for both packaging and deployment and it's awesome!

    100% agreement from me! As I wrote a few days ago here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7905511 : All my projects now have a default.nix and a shell.nix and I have this little snippet in emacs: (setq haskell-proces

    Do I read this right that you do F# on linux as a preference? Could I ask how you manage this? Last time I tried setting up mono defeated me to be honest!

    I had a similar idea to this: However it was more of a daydream about how to escape the misery of so many unhappy people wasting x hours of their lives per week. I thought it could be cool to have a kind of train/carriage discussion to

    That is interesting (but also sadly over my head too). I think some of the theory there is starting to get into operational transformation territory [1]. If that's the case then a really interesting application might be applying the sa

    > The tl;dr on CRDTs is that by constraining your operations to only those which are associative, commutative, and idempotent. Interesting. We have an event stream database implemented in Haskell, and this looks like an excellent way to

    Indeed - I wish I had know about dc (or dc had existed) when I was working in hedge fund land. Would have made my life a lot easier :-)

    Looks really cool. One small suggestion, sprinkle over some dc.js [1] and add some interactivity :-) [1] http://nickqizhu.github.io/dc.js/

    I don't think it's spam. Insight into tends in technology adoption are pretty interesting to me. Shouldn't we also encourage recruiters that give any kind of a shit about the tech they recruit for? If there was more of that a

    You might as well put a "buy the dead tree version" link on the site - it's a potentially useful resource for start ups to buy and put on the shelf, and it might make you a few extra quid? What are you working on now?
