I use void linux ( http://voidlinux.eu ) on my laptop and vps, which uses runit as its init system, and it's beautiful. It's such an elegant system. Writing the run scripts is so easy, and there's so little you ne

If you haven't used a good type system (which has at least algebraic data types and pattern matching), it's hard to realize how many of those bugs might actually be type issues.

Void Linux uses runit, which is very similar to daemontools as its init system.

Well, if what you're saying about not needing M:N to get thread scalability is true, I'm probably wrong. I really like being able to run tons of threads and write synchronous code, letting the the haskell RTS swap threads when I

I don't know if the programming model of threads and channels that's used by haskell and golang strictly depends on the existence of M:N threading, but it sure is nicer to use than the model in java/rust.

I'm not sure that should create an infinite debt for (potentially) thousands of people.

I use it daily and it's been fine. I use it with true color support enabled, and a terminal that supports true color, and a patched version of tmux that supports true color, and finally all color schemes render as they do in gvim! Also

It'd be great for a webhost or something where you choose the OS, but I don't think you could run FreeBSD or OpenBSD on top of it.

I want one where I can run Dragonfly. I'm using vultr at the moment but I had to do some manual stuff, I just want to choose Dragonfly like you choose ubuntu at digial ocean.

I don't think it's a particularly a silly analogy. You're going to be able to work better if you know what you're reaching for rather than googling around. Idioms and design patterns are also very well suited to flash c

I just started reading this book, "Thinking Physics", which teaches physics the way Feynman talks about, by trying to build intuition. It asks short questions like Feynman's about the table, and expects you to think about th

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Is it that it's nice to be able to copy over a systemd service template file with ansible vs running commands to start services? If so, how is that different from copying runit s

I just started using runit and really like how simple it is. I feel like nows a good time to plug void linux http://www.voidlinux.eu/ which I think is pretty cool, it's the only OS/distro I know that uses runit a

That concept is about efficiency. You could teach way more people to fish in the third world than you could by helping homeless people here.

I use systemd to start runit which is like daemontools. I consider daemontools/runit it right because they gives me all the benefits I'd want out of systemd (not doing anything special to daemonize my process, supervision, log ha

It's amazing to me that a real human who has experienced job interviews could think that common workplace situations are comparable coding in front of a stranger at a job interview.

I like it a lot for my tiny (400 lines) app, but I'm already annoyed at threading callbacks everywhere, which I think flux is supposed to solve, so I suspect I'll love it after I get that handled.

Yeah, I don't really think people would argue scala doesn't make sense for web dev. I think the main is that webdev can generally tolerate GC and it's not worth giving it up.

Chris (coolsunglasses) has a bad rep from being pretty harsh on in the past, but I want to say that my interactions have been very positive. When I posted my first project[1] on the Haskell reddit, he reached out to me via email and discus

I'd rather have a plugin that just ensured I never went to these sites at all. Or a list to drop in my hosts file.

Observe just makes making bad apis easier imo. I don't care if react can detect state changes, I want to detect state changes by searching for setState.

Founders don't count as workers in my mind. For a founder, work is the hobby. No one wishes they could be working for someone else 10 more hours and plenty of people want to work on productive things in their off hours.

It seems likely that one will eventually be built, and hard to assess what it'll do. How does that not seem like a problem worth working on. To assume it'd be safe seems at least as ridiculous as assuming it'd be a huge dan
