That's funny, I listen to music because I don't like background noise. (In fact, listening to music you're familiar with can help you focus since it shuts out other, irregular, distracting sounds.)

While this is a very cool hack, compiling to C is (relatively) easy. Objective-C, but mostly the (Cocoa Touch) API's are the interesting bit of iPhone development. Until there is a good way to use those API's in a high(er) level language,

There's a Dutch start-up doing much of the same. They have challenges from companies and pay students that win. It's very 'local' and a not a really nice website, but they've been fairly successful in setting up the platform so far. It's

Yes, but consider the Prevalent Hypothesis ( http://prevayler.org/wiki/Prevalent%20Hypothesis ): "That all your business data fits in the RAM you can afford" I believe this is true in many, not say most, cases. If not, don't use an in-memo

Note that this partly specific for US law, not all countries require registration for copyrighted material.

As these things go, it's probably more complex than that. Still, I'm also very interested in why this won't work for Twitter's (current) architecture.

Actually, that's the law: if you're employed as a programmer, any programming you do in your free time is copyrighted by your employer. At least in the Netherlands. (More info at http://www.iusmentis.com/copyright/crashcourse/ownership/

I don't think you can build a community by just writing libraries, frameworks, etc. ;) The crucial (and hard) part is getting people from the outside involved, so that you _don't_ have to write everything yourself, but it will turn into a

He's forgetting one important thing. Compared to other functional languages Clean has virtually no community. That said, the things they (the language developers) can build are pretty impressive. Their iTasks workflow system (unfortunate

That's hilarious, you can buy like 20 different designs of stickers that are almost transparent to human eyes? I'm sure the Ottawanian boy can still have a piece of the market for these things. At least until every dangerous window has a d

It's (just) one of the usages of monads, but it's not what monads 'are'.

Hiding complexity is not the same as reducing it.

Indeed. In fact, we had almost exactly the same idea when brainstorming about cool iPhone apps with a couple of people, but thought it was too lame and that we couldn't pull it off in a high-quality way ;) Ideas don't matter, people (with t

I'll give the same reply as was given in the comment thread of the article, which you apparently didn't read. http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html

Maybe I'm getting Haskell-blind, but what's "wierd" about the syntax? If I think about "wierd" syntax, I think about Erlang or Objective-C or Befunge for that matter. However, it seems that once you spent a day or so with a language the sy

Well, I'll be glad as hell if Haskell is as popular in 4.5 years from now as Python is currently (pg's article about the Python Paradox was written August 2004). Hmm, I think I'll even be glad if Haskell will ever be as popular as Python w

I should definitely try out AWS. It's a bit of work, but the docs are good and I think it's a useful experience to at least know a bit about how it actually works. Since you pay for AWS by the hour (and bandwidth), you can more easily swit

No, _people_ are putting people's passwords at risk ;) That said, I completely agree. Especially sad since Blaine Cook was involved with creating the first Ruby implementation of the protocol, more than a year ago.

Now would be a great time to learn the joy of mouse gestures, configure your middle click button or install a greasemonkey/userscript.

Implying that people who gross $20K with their iPhone application are probably not happy sounds quite bitter. You could give it a more positive spin by changing the 'probably's to 'if's or 'might's.

Uh. In other news, no wait, in the same news (the site the article is based on, link at the bottom), Linux' market share almost _doubled_ in 9 months. How's that for growth ;)

Nice example of a developer team completely ignoring management and corporate guidelines. Too bad it took them so long ;)

Since I don't have any experience with doing system code in Perl, a small example would be nice.

The main problem is that both SQL and HTML are often simply represented by strings. The programmer has to keep track herself to make sure everything is escaped and unescaped at the right moment. The point is that you can use Haskell's type

I don't think that's necessarily true. Take a look at all the System.Posix modules: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/unix/Syste...
