Great news! I'd better stop reading all those haskell books and start brushing up on F# 3.0 then I guess :-)

"need" and "notebook++" are two words I don't believe I've ever seen in the same sentence. :-)

Any news on building apps with F#? These two articles look like a great start, but it would be nice if there was a more official/streamlined way to do it. http://7sharpnine.com/posts/monotouch-and-fsharp-part-i/ http://7sharpnine.com//po

I'm guessing macro-nutrients from the context: protein, carbs, fat.

Interesting, I don't suppose you happen to know how much of that syrup is fructose do you offhand?

What... balsamic vinegar is more calorie dense that Coca Cola?! Surely this must be diet coke right...?

What part do you feel is a rip off exactly? This tutorial or ConvertKit itself? I believe that the point of ConverKit is to simplify and streamline the process of creating a landing page and drip email campaign. It seems like a pretty good

I've kicked salt's tyres recently and really like it. I think me favourite aspects are being able to use jinja and the fact that everything is all in the same place for the definitions. (As opposed to spread around various json/ruby files i

Haskell. I'm still on the journey but it's changed the way I think about programming already (always worthwhile!). You might also consider clojure for the same kind of effect but likely more real world utility if you come from Java land.

Nothing can justify it. The MOD's procurement system is a massive fucking hole that tax payers pour money into and get very little out of in return.

I've noticed this as well (and there was a post from Tarek Ziadé's blog a couple of days that mentioned it too) [1] I've evolved to this approach - with the addition of WebSockets and a data binding layer (knockout) - to building the infras

Interesting. I was the someone who wrote the snippet about my app becoming a zeromq => Websockets routing layer and I've been thinking that the correctness, speed and fluency doing anything stream related of haskell for this layer would

So after reading "On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins [1], it would seem that the algorithm of the cortex is mostly figured out and it missing only the hardware capable of simulating enough neurons. One comment I read a while back was that the

It's not the orders you need to monitor from the sound of it (at least once the trade is complete), it's the position that you hold in the market vs the current price. * Actually the previous statement could be wrong: You might also want to

I used it. Didn't really notice much difference for a few days and then saw that it was maxing out one of my cores to I got rid of it. Might try redshift at some point, but I guess I can probably do without as I mostly code 9-5.

I'd like to ask some questions if I may. * Where did you decide to live? * How do you support yourself and family? * What do you do for school, is it expensive? * How's it working out? Any regrets? Cheers

Read the criticisms and controversies section of the wikipedia article, it's a widely criticised study (perhaps not as much as Ancel Keys' study but close) Also see here for a very thorough refutation: http://rawfoodsos.com/2010/08/03/the-

Again with the red meat?! Is there actually a real study that has established a causal relationship between eating meat and living shorter?

Ivan, could you share a little about your toolchain writing this book? There's been a lot of traffic on HN around self publishing and I think it would be of interest. P.S. I'll buy it in ebook form!

Yes! I've been away from math for so long that having code that translates the math notation would be really helpful!

I'll pitch in with one that hasn't been mentioned yet. The Egoscue method: http://www.egoscue.com/meetpete.php . In particular Pete Egoscue's book Pain Free. I had a horribly seized neck a while ago where I couldn't look over my left shoul

Partially true, it has taken me a long time to learn haskell. However if you want to learn anything there is some upfront effort involved. I don't get to write haskell at work, but I see its principles everywhere with an additional layer of

The little bit of haskell FUD in this article made me largely disregard the rest (although I've heard my share of horror stories about the software s big financial institutions). Once you get past the different syntax I find haskell code to

If you include indonesian dishes (rendang, coconut type curries etc) in your stews category, then browning isn't an essential step. Meat is not browned first in indonesian cooking in my experience, I'm on the fence as to whether that detrac

If you're using emacs with a recent haskell-mode and you have the file loaded into a ghci session, then C-c C-t will get you the same information. (C-u C-c C-t will ask ghci and insert the type signature in the line above)

It would be great if you could get some data on technologies used in there. Interesting data none the less.
