I find that the unit of abstraction is smaller and more manageable in Haskell. What I mean by that it that there are a core set of abstractions based on mathematical laws that are ubiquitous and compose-able. Once you understand them and ho

I'm in a similar boat... Been programming python for ages, and now working on a huge, shared "hyper-agile" (yes they really call it that) code base. It's constantly breaking, even with unit tests! Personally, I'd lo

Thing is though that with diet and exercise it can be really easy being very dedicated to not doing the right thing! It's also very easy to get side tracked into being too dedicated to gathering information and not dedicated enough to

I've been pondering this recently and have come to the following conclusions: * State is expressed as a fold on a stream of events. The Event Sourcing pattern. * Clients send commands and receive updates to the state on separate channe

This is a great list of resources! I'd be very interested to see how well it converted, as it would seem that the main idea is to get people to sign up to Jakub's email list (which I have done on the strength of the material). Jak

One unanswered question for me is how to manager packages on different systems. Apache for example has a different name on RPM vs apt based systems, or you might have a different command to go the install (arch vs ubuntu for example). Can a

I started with salt a while ago (not serious production use) and recently picked up ansible. So far I'm coming down on the side of ansible. The config is a marginal improvement on salt (which is already pretty good) but I think the cli

How do you find integrating mono hosted apps with the Linux toolset. Do you use anything like chef/puppet/ansible? (Sorry If you've answered in the article - I can't read stuff on WP at work)

Have a look at alphaheavy's protobuf implementation as a starting point.

I didn't know the team at SCB was that big! You guys should come to some of the London Haskell meetups! In fact I think one of your guys is doing a talk soon right?

It would certainly seem to me (in London at least) that scala has most of the "enterprise functional programming on the JVM" pie. I hardly see any clojure jobs pop up. From what I've seen I'd say demand for FP skills loo

Funny coincidence - In the place I work this is done with a bajillion lines of python. The entire DSL turns into a bowl of spaghetti with worms hidden throughout!

My approach is to measure my progress by how much less stupid I feel the n+1th time I read the material again. I hope if I just keep chipping away it will enter my brain by a process of osmosis.

There are some amazing things you can do with free monads, although I must confess to not having my head completely wrapped round them yet: There are some great links in this SO answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions&#x2

This is timely! I've just started writing a set of salt states to capture the set up of my new dell xps 13 (sputnik) so I never have to go through the pain of setting up xmonad, emacs and various other development environment stuff aga

Do you mind if I ask a few questions? How do you find traveling with kids? Do you keep the same soul sucking enterprise IT job, or save up, travel and then find a new one when you return? What do you do about maintaining a permanent base at

I'd love to hear some perspective from people doing this with small kids. Almost all of these posts are from people young free and single!

Do you mean automatically? Inkscape can certainly save an svg to different sized outputs. Perhaps there's a plugin for this use case (Inkscape is scriptable with python)

I've built some real time front end stuff with knockout (due to starting off with backbone and still wanting to use the models and collections via knockback) so I'm not a complete beginner. I'm struggling with which reactive

I'm not really a .Net (although I've done some C#) guy but I would kill for a bit of type safety in the large python code base I work on! Someone pleeeaaase start a Haskell company in London :-)

I like it, it would make a great "about" page for someone's blog. I'm not sure that it really works as a resume though (at least in my small part of the world which is finance in London). Where I am recruitment is domina

If you're analyzing streams of data Haskell would be a good choice.* *assumes that you've already put in the requisite couple of years in monastic contemplation to learn Haskell :-)

Not quite sure what the focus on high fat is all about. It almost looks like they are solely attributing high calories with a high fat diet.

This is a really helpful and comprehensive list. Thank you! I've used knockout (and knockback) in the past to refactor a realtime backbone app, but I'm definitely going to give angular's tyres a kick for my next app.
