This is great. I have some small background in real time embedded systems, but I think that 99% of the "internet of things" need not be written in low-level C. I'll probably pick this up... ...however, I do hope that they can

John here. Having language-glsl available on hackage was a boon for the features in this release. Thank you!

Pretty simple solution - legislation that explicitly classifies as fair use the copying of the SSO, the Structure, Sequence, and Organization, of an API for the purposes of interoperability

Well, personally, I'm still paid in dollars. And dollars can already be used in all of these places.

I wonder if there are similar statistics for NYC? I'd guess pretty similar to London.

Well there is certainly scarcity, and I don't think an isolationist approach will help. We need to protect the H1Bs and equivalents coming to our countries; give them better rights, increase their leverage. This will make it harder for

Two reasons. The first, to which you allude, is that those who make the rules are trying to stay in their jobs. It's a symptom of democracy. The second is that these are all knobs one can turn to fine-tune incentives of behaviors; cost

Some of us believe that broadband should be considered a public utility, in which case it is appropriate to subject providers to these regulations.

Nice simple demo Sridatta! Nobody likes the tilde-arrow lift syntax! The last line could be rewritten as follows. Does anybody think it's better or worse? I tend to prefer it, though many don't like it. main = lift2 display

A few disparate points: The Elm runtime is an implementation of CFRP, where the C stands for concurrent. The primitives already exist for convenience, and can be transformed by pure functions, or new ones can be defined using the FFI. Your

There should be an organization that provides a seal of approval to apps, something like IAP-free, marketed similar to gluten-free foods, et. al.

Do you think that there will ever be widespread/mainstream client-side control of the web like this? Where it was the norm that, say, 90% of web users blocked ads and analytics? Would it be good or bad?

It's not the best tool for the job, but it's still a hack. Lighten up. Should all CSS demos come with this disclaimer now?

Powerful short (micro) story! Yet one must suspect that life would have found its own way.

But the browser could simply do verified transaction signing using known code. It severely lowers the trust barrier.
