I agree of course.. But it's even worse than that. Seems like half the time ipv6 comes up on NANOG, they're talking about the abdomination that is NAT66. (Rest of the time they're talking about NAT46 of course.) I have little confidence in

I remember much more Haskell and probably FP talk on HN some years ago too. Although HN back then was just as prone to getting fixated on a topic for a few days and flooded with stuff about it as it is now. I follow http://www.reddit.com/r

Congrats. You've invented the cursor.

You sure you knew the same guy? My working memory is crap, and, presumably, getting worse. ;) I find that functional programming really cuts down on the amount of mental state I need to maintain. So while I'll have some API docs and another

Incidentially, I completed ls's set of -a-z options recently. http://joeyh.name/~joey/blog/entry/ls:_the_missing_options/ (Well, actually, I never got around to writing -z, but it's clear what it should do, and any ls hackers are encourag

OTOH if you don't specify which hash is used, you'll be stuck using SHA1 for all time, or with a messy transition. Nobody knows yet what to do about git as SHA1 becomes more broken..

I haven't read the book yet, but I enjoyed reading all the front and back matter about the licensing etc. I am a copyright criminal, and so (in all probability) are you. No, I'm not exaggerating. I will confess to having cracked t

I'm amazed it's still down, it was down yesterday. Best wishes to the github guys fixing it. It seems like I need to expand my github-backup program with the ability to cache and later send issue reports to github. It's nice that I have a b

The teeth backing up that TOS is that if you violate it, you'll probably find it hard to get a new kickstarter project accepted. But that doesn't mean there's a legal obligation to fulfill rewards.

The web frontend is functional.. took 2 weeks. Yesod rules. (Still many weeks more polish and additional functionality, but kickstarter funded me for a whole year!)

That's awesome. I was doing similar 1.5 hours away at the time, and it can be hard to find local tech folks; wish I'd known about you. :)

HD video would also be competing with science data for both storage and transfer time. If you read the blog of the MER driver at http://marsandme.blogspot.com/ you can see this tension already play out sometimes, both in scheduling nice p

I have not gone into details about my living situation online. Being happy to live in the middle of nowhere helps; solar power and power efficient home design helps too. :)

It's also an employer that lets me live in a place where rent+utilities is $1.5k/year. Economically, I look at work I do on Free/Open Source software as an investment in reputation capital. In this case past such investments paid off with y

Browserid is not a centralized authentication protocol. Although currently all implementations I know of rely on browserid.org, this is not required by its design. There's also the fully decentralized openid, you know. I'd 100% rather be ab

return was pretty clearly chosen in haskell to make its monadic do syntax look even more like a regular procedural language. Names that better express what return really does would be something like "pack" or "lift" or "pure". A typical exa

I'm not in Africa, but I do have slow (dialup) internet in the US, and every G+ link is a nightmare. About half the time, it just fails to load, as if there's some agressive timeout in its SSL. When it does load, it shares an annoying behav

Generally the expensive part in rural locations is paying to get miles of lines in. This cannot be used offgrid. Also, when you have a long line to a rural location, and the power goes out due to an ice storm, welcome to the bottom of the r

I do too. I also tend to find that once I have a module for a particular record type, I eventually find enough other things to put in it, like instance declarations, that it's not a hardship to have a separate file.
