   Sadly I too am not a Windows developer. That said, I've never before had such a compelling reason to become one. I do hope that someone more familiar with Windows takes up the torch.

   Fantastic work. The improvements to the I/O manager are well worth the price of admission. I'm curious, is work underway to see similar gains made in the I/O manager on Windows? Does Windows provide a similar construct as 'select()' and als

   Just wanted to throw my companies product out for a bit of shameless promotion: www.picosearch.com. We support suggestions (which drive an auto-complete feature) based on the sites content, much like you guys. I always welcome new competit

   It was another article posted here (I think) detailing the history of some pretty famous products (I remember the Super-Soaker being among those mentioned) and how these wildly successful products all had rather humble beginnings, and somet

   This was an enjoyable read. As someone not yet even out of the gate, I think the biggest take-away from this is that networking is by far the most important skill an entrepreneur must cultivate. I am technically skilled, but spend much of t

    Neat. I did see that liftM3 takes a function of 3 arguments, and just plain ignored that fact in my example :) And to be clear, for <$> and <*>, you need a Functor instance defined for you type right? Are there benefits to u

    Does this mean that you could go on an say: (+) <$> (Just 2) <∗> (Just 3) <∗> (Just 5) And it would have the same meaning as: liftM3 (+) (Just 2) (Just 3) (Just 5) edited for formatting

    I posted this because I find it interesting that nearly all of these start-ups to watch have a business model based solely on advertising. I suppose the advertising space is so large that everyone can make money selling eyeballs, but I thin
