Perhaps we should be shooting for generality in the implementation - i.e. a well factored, flexible code base that models the domain well and supports a high level of reuse (and is written in Haskell :-D). Coupled with specificity in the so

As someone said on twitter the other day: If "tech experts" writing news articles aren't really experts, what does that say about all the other experts..?

Done! I would have given you guys more money if you had the corresponding digital subscriptions for the £50, £80 and £90 options. Best of luck!

A government in thrall to the "big food" lobby is the last place I'd go for dietary advice. I'm not just talking about the US government here - but almost all western governments have got it wrong on nutrition for the la

Yep, those are all installed as part of my emacs set up.

Yes, but I have moved to doing most stuff in sandboxes now and cabal repl is not playing nice with profiling at the moment.

Emacs config. Latest versions of cabal cabal-install. A work around for the brokenness of the Haskell platform on ubuntu 13.04. Threadscope. Proper cabal setup for testing. Jenkins setup for CI from the start. Also investigation dockerizing

How much interest would there be in a 0 to full Haskell development environment set of ansible scripts (and or Vagrantfile)? I'm working on a start up using Haskell at the moment and I've been capturing all of my set up in this wa

Is that in the international schools or local? We are thinking of moving our family back to Indo and one concern is the education... Actually compared to the likely quality in the UK we probably have nothing to worry about!

A good alternative is tabata [1] sessions on the rower. 20 seconds as hard as you can 10 seconds very gentle (just to keep the timer going). Do it 8 times for a total of 4 minutes - it starts to get pretty grim around the 4th sprint. It&#x2

This is me too. I wouldn't be surprised if it's mostly a case of being praised for ability rather than effort. Apparently this creates an environment of fear of failure and a sort of "if I don't try it doesn't matte

Unfortunately it looks like xamarin has completely abandoned linux as a platform.

No mention of the data format. Is it json, csv what? I know you can always head -n the file but a little hint would be helpful!

Vega is a grammar for describing d3 from what I can see.

Any thoughts on vega? http://trifacta.github.io/vega/

Yeah, I got bitten by that too. There's a list kicking round of all the individual packages required to install to make a haskell-platform-alike. If you want I can dig it out of my ansible config.

I went through the book "The whole brain child" with my five yr old daughter recently. She absolutely lapped it up. I highly recommend it and the authors other books if you want to explore your children's (or your own) emotio

I believe Simon is also talking about this at the London Haskell Exchange at skillsmatter in October. I will definitely be attending this one!!

Awesome! Any of you guys in London by the way?

This is brilliant news! Would it be possible to drop a cross compiled Haskell library into a Xamarin project and call into it from the .Net (F#) world? That would be the killer feature for me! Also not much mention of android here - is it p

Some terminology might help.. The domain is the inputs of a function and the range is the output. I assume that if there were multiple arguments to the function it would git you the other ones too. BTW compare it to the haskell version of t

This looks really nice. I've been wanting to get into clojure (mainly for the web aspect of it) for a while, but as someone who hasn't done much lisp and really loves Haskell's type system I've been hanging back a bit. I

I don't really see negativity. I see people (including me) not quite getting it and asking for clarification.

Indeed - it's definitely one of the best places to be if you like to be surrounded by incredibly talented, but also very humble folks. In fact I'd go so far as to say that the pool of wicked smart people who would love to build st

I'm not sure I get it.. There are already several two way DOM <-> data binding frameworks, e.g. Angular, knockout, ember. What does this do differently? It reads more as a presentation layer thing, but presumably you could do thi

Anyone got any examples of setting up a set of services on a docker host with ansible? It would also seem feasible to use docker files ontop of a minimal image that used ansible with a local connection to do the set up... Anyone doing this?
