   I went to the same meetup (ZuriHac), and arrived at the opposite conclusion. I gave a lightning talk there on how the Haskell job market has been growing steadily since 2008 [1] [2]. The GHC bug tracker is full of new people filing bugs fro

   Can you clarify: Does the the initial construction (creation) of the index need to fit into RAM? Also, should one expect the reading via Postgres's buffer cache to have better access patterns / need less memory / have other

   Is view() for disk-based indexes doing something special over plain mmap(), e.g. setting read-aheads based on the knowledge of the intental structure to make it faster if done over the network? Talking about https://github.com&#x

   Haskell: It is implemented as a library, without needing compiler support [*]. You can write C++ in TemplateHaskell (Haskell's strongly typed AST-generating macro system), which allows you to use Haskell variables in scope inside your

    This is easy to answer, at least for this data set: It contains all job descriptions (see link to Google Sheet, scroll to bottom). From a 30 seconds look, it seems there are around 5 cryptocurrency jobs in the list for year 2022. You will f

    Yes, it's absolutely worth learning Haskell to land a job in it. I did it this way: Learned Haskell in university, found it lot better than other languages in many regards, decided that I don't want to waste my life time using wor

    I crawled, and manually verified, /r/haskell Reddit job postings between 2008 and now. It turns out the Haskell job market has been growing steadily since then, with a dip during Covid.

    I thought that a key value of a RHEL subscription is the support. E.g. that if you hit a bug with the kernel, GNOME, Ceph, OpenShift, libvirt, or any such software, you get priority (and phone) support from the company that employs many dev

    I wondered this too. Just tried it on https://chat.zulip.org : So far, it seems it doesn't support exact phrase search: Searching for "what" with our without quotes produces no results. Slack finds the results. Sea

    Props to them and the Wine project for their great achievement: Removing the last consumer monopoly Windows had (games). They are the reason I didn't have to boot away from Linux for 10 years.

    If a software, especially a DB, cares about durable writes, it must surely use fsync(), not depend on how long some delays are.

    I find that too: Purity is Haskell's fundamental killer feature. Other languages now also have quite sophisticated type systems, some of which can do specific checks beyond Haskell in certain areas (Rust's control flow analysis, T

    This does not work for me, at least not in the way most people would expect it to. When I run: > unshare -U "--map-user=$(id -u)" "--map-group=$(id -g)" -f -p sh -c 'command sleep infinity' then Ctrl+C has n
