So as a user of emacs, a user of tmux, and the soon to be recipient of a dell XPS 13 which I intend to dock at home with a very big screen and use with Xmonad... Do I need tmux? It seems to fall between the gaps between easily switching bet

Surely that questioning has to take place with a lawyer present though? The police can't question you (or get you to say anything) before you've had access to legal advice.... right..?

Can any one who's looked at event sourcing comment on the relationship between ES (which is basically a fold over a sequence of events onto a state object) and OT. Superficially it would seem that they are very similar, with OT perhaps bein

(B) Sounds a bit like a spark file: http://lifehacker.com/5941997/defrag-your-brain-with-a-spark... (there are better links than this one but it's the only one I can find that isn't blocked by my corporate firewall)

It looks a bit better locally I'll try and push something a bit more coherent tomorrow. Great article by the way!

I've been playing with aeson and http-streams lately too. You might find some of the debugging stuff useful. Here's some code that extracts json from a web page (I hope to be generating haskell modules from API docs eventually.) https://gi

Slightly off topic but does anyone know of ans FRP library for python?

It's much simpler for a start - you've got a good chance of being able to read and understand all of the code in an afternoon.

Use pyramid. It's exceptionally well designed. It has very sensible defaults out of the box, but literally everything about the framework is swappable if you need it to be. I can't comment on rails, but I spent quite a long time with django

Yes, absolutely. There are a multitude of hidden gems in this book.

That's very kind. I have a better suggestion though: How about you distribute the proceeds in proportion to the total points of authors with upvoted posts suggesting that people go any buy the book? My comment above has two points already!

The Python Cookbook has been a great resource in both of the previous editions. I've been following Dave's pain in writing this on twitter, so I have no doubt that this one will be the same. This is a "must have" on any python hacker's book

It gets a little better when run ghci from emacs in a cabalized project, but I agree it's still no ipython.

Z isn't a monad from what I can see... ZZ is the monad. It's an IO action that returns a ZResult (which is either a value or an error state as you said) and has access to an environment for logging, a database connection and a configuration

Is there anything wrong with the python bindings to phantom? I used phantomjs (it's great)a few years ago and I thought there were some python bindings to the original phantom C++ library - could be wrong though.

If you think puppet/chef is too much complexity you might find saltstack worth some attention. I haven't used it in real anger yet, but I've really liked what I've seen so far. I see they've even got instructions specific to aws now too [1]

Thank the Lord that thus far I haven't had to get a tube as part of my commute! The overground every day is bad enough, and I almost always get a seat and can look out of the window there. Roll on the day where working from home as a develo

Hey Brennan, I've bought your last couple of book and got a lot of value out of them. One question: Why the focus on selling to individuals (with the books etc). How to you feel about B2B and building products targetted at a small business

Some of the work that continuum have done on blaze [1] look to be tackling the problem of streaming in python too. In fact some of the ideas in this library come directly from haskell and one of the main developers is Stephen Diehl, who pos

Yes realtime over websocket to a data-binding style library like knockout (I'd probably choose angular if was starting now) saves you a ton of work.

The algo is only one part of a real trading organization. Granted it's the one that gets all of the credit, and is perceived as the sexy side but operations and reporting is easily as important. If you had the best algo, but you kept making

I would see haskell very much as the plumbing side of things. The tools available for handling and reasoning about streams are streets ahead of anything I've seen elsewhere. With zeromq and protocol buffers (that's what we use in our stack)

I've had a quick read through the .org file now and it appears that you're using R for things like moving averages over the stream of prices. Have you considered using one of Haskell's FRP (or pipes/conduit) libraries for this side of thing
