### Editor *Visual Studio Code* is a popular choice with well supported editor integration. Install the [Haskell extension]( https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=haskell.... ) and you are all set. It should wo

I think I did, I think I spent some time puttering around trying to get a setup to match my config. I would suggest, a clear path in a getting started guide - if you use this editor and these tools, you will have a working system end to end

not the op. I'm a hobbyist. I've figured out stack and it's pretty great. My editing cycle is pretty terrible. usually vim in one terminal and another terminal to run ghci or stack build. That's ok, it lets me work throu

> sudo shutdown -h now That, is funny. There are a bunch of approaches, one approach uses 'gas' so you have to pay for computation steps. A bunch of SAT solvers use a clock - if you don't finish in 5 minutes, you get the a

It's really hard for me not to respond with pure snark. But I'm going to do my best. Since the essence of computing is processes, viewing all programs as processes, it should be really easy to tell if any given process halts. But,

This is kinda diving into the deep end, but this is a great overview - https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/b... the gist is you treat memory as a big array, then write a program to mani

yes but there's real value in exploration. I haven't touched c or assembly for a long time. here's a cold read. push rbp this is going to take the contents of rbp and push it onto the top of the stack - this w

Well, yes. but in the game the US calls football, (hand egg?) the field is fixed size. What, pretty much, everybody else calls football the field is not fixed size.

Have you looked at the Unix command ‘join’? This is a cool tool, but I think join is pretty much everywhere.

Man, I really like that company. From what I can pick up, they're doing neat stuff. It looks like they're trying to pull apart a monolith, and I'm pretty good at that kinda work. strangle a subsystem, containerize and and suc

I'm pretty sure if you take a year, you can evaluate enough repos to find one to match your circumstance. Or, take a week and slam it out.

So, historically, and I'd say even today, a lot of art is pretty technical. imagine you're sitting around in 1550 and decide to paint a painting, you've got to gather up some boar bristles to make your brushes. You've go

My parents are getting up there, they are halfway across the country. They’re divorced and a few hours apart. I have no idea what to do. They’re both healthy and active, but pushing 80. I guess we need to have some difficult talks. It’s ter

After thinking about this for a few minutes, the author might be on the wrong track connecting this with containers. But I think there's something really there about "environmental linting". I know deep in my bones I need wri

I guess I don't understand what precision is needed when dropping a grenade. I've never had a grenade thrown at me. I sort of suspect, but have no first hand knowledge, that a half a second is a big deal. yes, the drone will go to

by jfoutz 4y ago
I don't know anything about anything, so take with a large grain of salt. drones work because of their elegant control mechanisms. Those require a nice clean radio environment. I suspect, but I do not know, a big spark would mess with

it took me a good 30-40 years to learn to give up on books. There are quite a few I ground out but they didn't really land. I think there are some that I'll give another go. I'm older, more perspective. There are books I read

Yeah, that's exactly it. Talk about a great example of me failing to know why I know things. I think I encountered that on Rational wiki years ago. I subsequently "smushed" that idea into a bunch of science fiction, Frankenst

Oh for sure! Humans are smart. Collectively we figure stuff out. I think a reasonable example might be mountain lions. There are specific humans that know lots about mountain lions. Generally people know about mountain lions, and to avoid t

AGI isn't scary because it's smarter than me. AGI is scary because it's alien. I've met plenty of people smarter than me. Way way smarter. It's ok. We can sorta work out what the other wants. We can talk or fight or

What? you want your compiler to backtrack and recalculate all the stack offsets? Just say how many bytes a call needs up front! Kids today, acting like computer time is free.

Yeah. Java swing early on actually paused the event loop waiting for a second mouse click to return a double click. If I recall, some platforms would drop those events while paused, others would queue them. I think X dropped, windows didn&

That's a great point. I was working on the assumption that you had a map and a compass. When you get to dangerous terrain, hopefully you can pin down that you're on one of two or three possible spots - so maybe you can figure out

So, I'll start with a disclaimer - I've only futzed around with FRP in Haskell, and never for money. Somewhere on an old computer I've got some code to simulate a pool table. But it has been a few years. The pool table is pre

100% yup, it's surprisingly easy to not know where you are. I was never much of a scout, but the best advice I ever got was go downhill. If you find water, follow the water down. People live downhill. people use water. Finding somebody

Ah, yeah. It's an analogy, and argument by analogy always fails, because the two things are different, and you can't really hide those differences. I'd say getting your PR accepted is like passing the law. Locally hacking up

Yes. Like this, but not intentional - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMbN9nb3qyk That alone looks very scary to me, indoors? accidentally? gah.

That is a fantastic quote. I had to read up on it. So, from my very limited understanding, the point is kinda like you have to pass the legal steps before you have a chance at getting justice. Rules of evidence, Miranda warnings, whatever.
