Here I've translated the example to haskell: data Exchange = Exchange { bic :: String, name :: String } data Security = Security { description :: String, exchange :: Exchange, isin :: String } data Stock = Stock { security ::

I have JavaScript enabled, using chromium, on Debian; it still thinks I have a Mac.

Something that worries me about perl to no end is tests like: if ($lastname) { ... } This fails when $lastname="0". But I am constantly seeing perl code that does it.

Maybe Sorta. Most of Yesod is also reusable libraries, for example I've used Hamlet to generate HTML without using any of the rest of Yesod.

Ah, so it's some kind of hourglass/throbber display. As a linux user with a whopping 1 gb of ram on my laptop, I was puzzled by what that term meant. :)

You say that and get downvoted.. My email client is a shell built up carefully to my needs over years. Inhabiting it has shaped me in turn. I know that it won't change without my say, and if I move to another shell one day it will be my own

I read HSoE a couple of weeks ago to see what more adacamically oriented Haskell books were like. I'm glad I started with RWH, and LYaH covers a lot more ground, but HSoE is excellent in the clarity of what it does cover, in using graphics

I have friends involved in Riseup, and I know they do good work. Software projects like monkeysphere and backupninja. Didn't realize they hosted so many mailing lists, apparently 14,000. This is a good time to https://help.riseup.net/en/do

I have never, ever seen "Monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors" used in an actual conversation with someone who is trying to learn monads. The phrase is and always has been a joke; surely part of the joke is that most of u

An excellent game. Along with telehack ( http://telehack.com/ ), oldusenet ( http://olduse.net/ ), and now this, semi-accurate emulation of the 80's online really seems to be catching on lately. (disclaimer: I did olduse.net)

At 15 thousand lines, git-annex is only 5 thousand lines less of haskell than darcs. I happen to know, since I wrote git-annex. I'm not sure where you're coming from with your statement about there only being two large haskell programs. For

I've had the same experiences with both Verizon and Sprint. My conclusions about the telcos turning a blind eye are the same. I suspect these spammers leech onto large percentage of new cell phone customers. I'm very happy to not currently

In one project, I refactor my code late, late at night. I do it in almost a dream state; it's a process of nearly pure symbolic manipulation, involving none of the complex mental model that we're used to needing to maintain while programmin

When this happens to me (using haskell), I just quickly do: otherfunc = undefined otherfuncReal :: ... otherfuncReal = ... The best exploratory programming I've seen in haskell also does this for types to some extent; you know

The problem with Olympus Mons, when it comes to views, is that when you're on it, it's too big, and too gradual a slope to see off it. Also, when standing at the base of it, the summit is off over the horizon. Give me Valles Marineris any

This reminds me of how I used to read series out of order (back when I read many books that were part of a series, in physical form so the whole series was often unavailable). Much as you learned about the new girlfriend through exposure, I

Let's take the coffee analogy a little further. Not only is some hippie giving away coffee with a "do no evil" license, but just down the road there is a large market, where many people have come together to give away their own special vari

My mistake, not knowing python's variable interpoltion well, I thought that the $0 was expanded by it, not the shell. Which, if it were the case, would indeed be vulnerable. Isn't it a bit harsh to downvote to -1 a comment which links to tw

Your quoting of "$0" does not protect it from the shell. An attacker need only provide an input such as: /tmp"; rm -rf /; " There are pipeline libraries that avoid the shell for several languages. Some I can recommend: * libpipeline http:/

FWIW, I've also seen this cause the terminal to freeze for seconds at a time when there's heavy write contention to a slow SSD.

Web frameworks like Yesod have shown that it's possible to make a web framework that is secure by design (at the type level, even) without compromising on usability.

Perl XS libraries often provide a full object oriented wrapper around the native C calls. They always have, at a minimum, a thin perl wrapper function. There's plenty of scope for the encoding to be done automatically, but the current state
