This is excellent. I've started moving projects over, and I'm looking forward to shifting from fosspay donations to actually paying directly for this. Excelsior!

I don't think that's the case. Template Haskell lets you generate Haskell code at compile time, including by doing arbitrary IO. This is technically unsafe but is usually okay because you're only reading local files and so fo

For nine years of extra life, it sounds like a pretty good trade.

See, that's funny. Because when I woke my windows gaming machine from its long slumber, it updated and dumped "Bubble Witch 3 Saga", "Candy Crush Soda Saga", "Disney Magic Kingdoms" and "March of Empi

The fact that Windows 10 updates bundle shit like candy crush[1] and use my computer as an advertising platform means my current and future laptops run GNU/Linux. [1]: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/05&#x

Now that it's no longer full of people who think like John Gilmore, I'm not convinced it does any more.

One reason is that more general types mean you can write fewer functions, and so the function that you do write is more likely to be correct. The function `intMap :: (Int -> Int) -> [Int] -> [Int]` can do all sorts of crazy things

If it is confirmed, can we please black-bar HN? Terry was one-of-a-kind.

I don't. If you ban custom operators, how can you find out future use cases where custom operators make a lot of sense? I am extremely distrustful of a language where certain people are more equal than others. Those elevated people cou

I honestly don't know, it's just an idea that's been kicking around in my head. If posting is cheap but spamming is expensive, then you might get better standards. If the forum becomes valuable then you might be able to rewar

It's also a way of doing leaderless agreement about distributed platforms in low-trust environments. I'm no blockchain fanatic, bit ISTM that a decentralised discussion board could require the spending of tokens to make posts. The

This is an excellent post, and I'm very disappointed that nobody will ever read it. The OP for one reason or another has fallen from the front page really quickly.

That might have been true once, but now every button is a different hieroglyph I'll take `man foo` or `foo --help` any day.

Not only this, but I've had a very difficult time even finding original SWFs of animutations. Albinoblacksheep only seems to host video renders these days. While that works, many authors hid extra content in their videos, and that&#x27

I also have an ergodox, and I found it a massive improvement. Mostly because it has so many easily reachable shifty-buttons that I can write all kinds of useful macros for it. I write a lot of haskell, and having keybinds for <$>, &gt

I can imagine a file-hosting blockchain platform that pays out people who host, and charges people who request files. The tokens to participate in the service then get sold on the usual exchanges.

Never hold a PP balance. If you receive money into your PP account, treat it as unavailable unless you successfully spend it on goods or services. Never link your PP account to a bank account. Only fund your PP account with a credit card, s

There is a sibling comment by RodericDay that is [dead], and I have no idea why: > Mithril is my favorite by far. > It's not even close. It's depressing how little-known it remains.

A piece of folk wisdom I picked up along the way was you often end up needing a "Behavior a" and an "Event a" that fires when the Behavior changes. The reason I switched from dabbling-with-reactive-banana to dabbling-wit

Yes, I think your alternate names make more sense when you think about `Behavior`s only. That said, from what I understand of FRP you don't want to think of the data type as "type T is for Behaviors" or "type S is only f
