   I have heard stories about annotating the edges with elements from a group rather than using unlabelled edges. Have you heard anything about that?

   I have a history question. I've seen this link a few times: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Reading-Non_002... Did this advice from GNU inspire you to optimise `yes`, did your optimised `yes

   I have been writing a fair amount of Dhall using autogenerated CloudFormation bindings ( https://github.com/jcouyang/dhall-aws-cloudformation/ ). It is a fantastic way to reduce boilerplate and factor out recurrin

   "The Pepsi ratio is aesthetic geometry" could indeed be lifted from the writings of Earth's Wisest Human.

   I think that applicatives and monads feel more contagious than they really are, because at first people tend to write functions that consume values of type `f a` too readily. This is because it takes some time to become comfortable with `fm

   Not as an "escape hatch" (that would be something more like `unsafePerformIO :: IO a -> a`), but as a principled way to compose (among other things) IO actions. A Haskell program executes the IO action at `Main.main`, which mus

   The same FDA which made it all-but-impossible to test for SARS-CoV-2 in early 2020? I'd believe it. https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1232075455295037440

    Trouble is, you pay money _and_ you get the ads! So why pay for things?

    My experience is that overhead shoulder mobility is extremely important to correctly stacking the shoulders and body over the balance point. If you don't have that (I don't), then the handstand feels really heavy and hard to hold.

    On the meta level, Zissner's "On Writing Well" is excellent. The book is enjoyable to read which proves that he knew what he was writing about, and it makes a very strong case that whenever you're writing, it's wort

    I am claiming that institutions made counterintuitive claims (e.g., seeing only masked faces will not delay babies' speech development) based on no evidence. These claims were made to shore up support for various pandemic response poli

    No, people really did pretend that. Here's one example that I remember: https://twitter.com/AmerAcadPeds/status/1425857041457942542 Obviously paediatrics is not the same as schooling, but I recall this sort o

    And this is why we must never give up and "be pragmatic". We need to get things done today, sure, but we must also never stop pushing for a freer tomorrow.

    That's a shame, but at least you can't run DRM over a 3.5mm cable.

    This is what happens when you don't just give up and "be pragmatic". Kudos to NVidia for coming to the table, and I look forward to seeing more of this sort of thing.

    I've heard people call it "a replacement for `fopen()`". Similarly, I like ZeroMQ as a replacement for sockets.

    Thanks, I had indeed got my S-companies confused. I must've been thinking of Shopify's nix work, and put them in a mental bucket of "does advanced stuff".

    I considered going into phone apps, and reversed course after Jobs' attempt to limit the set of languages one could code in. I have never regretted the decision, and wish other devs would stop building on such unstable foundations.
