Naa ... without wanting to get into a religious war here: Haskell actually provides an imperative "mode" (aka "do-notation"). But I agree about the silver bullet thing ... I am/was a Java developer by trade and have

IMHO Haskell is not a bad "scripting language", whatever that means. My current project has lots of nice, composable blocks that get compiled in a library project and I use stacks scripting feature to just glue them together. Work

Welcome to Haskell ... where clever people write frameworks that even dumb people can't break ;-) e.g. https://code.facebook.com/posts/302060973291128/open-sourcin...

One thing I noticed is that some of my friends that have been designing PCBs have been dismissing options like OSHpark for a long time. Apparently they still believe that it's not possible to create good quality PCBs with that pricetag

Somehow I expected this to be a markup language for writing on screen ... and couldn't figure out why something like this exists.

Thing is that when boinc and co were popular all those cycles were really wasted. Today computers just enter power-saving states when not in use saving electricity and in effect money.

Regarding the discussion about deduplication ability (deduplibility?): Would it be possible to do some cryptography tricks to allow MEGA access to the data while still preserving deniability? I am thinking about the Dual_EC_DRBG backdoor [1

Basically a Directed Acyclic Graph on top of the DHT should suffice. Every node in the graph is signed and links back to two things: the node it is referencing (eg it is a comment to a post) and the last contribution of this user. Each con

I found that once you know your way around the basics (which the FTP mentioned here is a big part of), it becomes quite trivial to just "hack away". I am now 4 years aboard the Haskell train and use Haskell for scripting work I wo

What hopefully will happen is that programmers spend less time tweaking and debugging programs. Haskell is actually on the forefront with this with systems like [Haxl]( https://code.facebook.com/posts/302060973291128&#

Just another Haskell-influence on mainstream languages: Pythons list-comprehensions are verbatim copied from Haskell. This is even acknowledged here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonVsHaskell

Several of Neal Stephenson's books are like this ... I finished the Cryptonomicon earlier this year and have just started to read REAMDE. I often find myself reading the same sentence several times because they are so convoluted ...

I read that book twice. Once with the german title "Der Mond is eine herbe Geliebte" (direct translation), then years later a friend recommended the book "Revolte auf Luna" ("Riot on Luna"). I got half way thro

Define "search algorithm" ... simple breadth- or depth-first set membership queries are easily doable in under 30 minutes. Edit: I don't want to defend such questions in interviews ... it's just that almost everybody has

Sometime I wonder why the WRT54GL still get's hyped so much. Yes, it is probably the router that started the whole Wrt projects. But seeing that this 2002 relict still sells for 50+€ (on amazon) pains me. For the same money you g
