   Yesod is great, and would cover most of my app, but then you get things like "search field which filters as you type" and other UI elements (even as small as "like" button) and you get into a territory where you stop hav

   I've just started implementing a website which would look like an ideal fit for a non-SPA (online library), but since I am using my own spare time on it, there's no way I will go back to the old non-SPA development. Most of the pr

   What's not clear here is that why would one company, which is dong pretty well, better every year, would want to be sold to another company, which doesn't look well (from your own description), instead of just continuing growing a

   17.10 had fractal scaling setting on Wayland (not X.org). Not sure if you can enable it in 18.04, probably possible.

   Single-window mode has been a huge jump towards usability, and I'd imagine that involved quite some work. Text tool had a lot of work to make it better. Also, latest release should've removed the annoyance of font-loading process

   Visa-free regime with EU is one of the best things that happened to Ukrainians a few years ago, we now have many more low-cost flight tickets and directions available, and most of my friends are using it, often surprising me at what's

   For those who lack the generics, I just wanted to remind that you can "script" in Haskell by adding this to your header: #!/usr/bin/env stack -- stack script --resolver=lts-12.2 and run it as an executa

    I think the #3 and #4 should be defined as: #3 can afford to not work for a long period if the job goes down. This also might let you invest your work in a startup #4 can afford to not work anymore

    Doesn't Ubuntu 18.04 have an ability to do fractional scaling when used under Wayland (not X.org)?

    If you just press "Super" multiple times does RAM usage go up? Was quite reproducible for me last time I've checked.

    As a Ukrainian, I am somewhat jelous to you. We already switch our street signs and the rest to be in Latin for reasons as simple as tourism, it's somewhat strange that a tourist isn't even able to search for the street's nam

    Thanks, I'm quite an experienced Linux user (>10 years). The problems I've had are way beyond this (bootloop, black screen, freezes, had to do a recover from a liveusb etc. etc.)

    GNOME Shell on Ubuntu 17.10 is eating >1Gb RAM, I think it might be a good time to try KDE (unfortunately, it didn't work to just apt install kubuntu-desktop, so I'll have to do that via clean install sometime later).

    For formulas it just re-renders formula as you type it, no WYSIWYG magic where it's over-complicated. For regular Markdown it's WYSIWYG.

    There's a very simple emacs extension called "pretty lambda", which displays a word "lambda" as a lambda character (but presents as ascii still). I wonder if something like this is possible to do here (of course, th
