Can you elaborate on how much automated testing is behind this? When it comes to backup tools, I am very cautious.

I don't think it's a coincidence WAL-E is named as it is :)

I'd be more worried about the content becoming even more extreme.

It depends what you mean by "good UI libraries", but there is http://elm-ui.info/ for one. Perhaps that helps?

Is there any evidence you can provide for this? I don't necessarily dispute it, but I don't entirely buy that it's just for rendering - I thought some games were starting to offload particle systems and physics.

That's right, we should always strive to assess technical projects based on how the author communicates.

I have been writing Haskell professionally for about 4 years now, and I absolutely love it. I'm constantly finding myself having to answer questions of "So, what do you mean ?" or "what is this" so early on in de

You wouldn't implement this in production, you would use a library - just like 90% of everything else you do in production. This paper is packaged up here https://hackage.haskell.org/package/logict

Oh neat, I didn't know Ross had actually released a version of transformers with Select. Now I've got to go learn it.

The point is that you don't need to write the types down anymore. The program is still typed, but the compiler can figure out what the type of variables (in a well typed program) needs to be. As said, this has previously been a hard pr

Yea, it's only Edge, but if you look at WebSockets you'll see that everything except Opera Mini supports them - so you can get (some of) the same functionality without polyfills at all.

It's a shame Server-Sent Events aren't universally supported. I find them a lot simpler than WebSockets - modifications are just normal HTTP calls, and then you can broadcast the actual result of the transactional call back down w

This becomes very difficult when languages change their AST. Most languages are still evolving and the AST changes.

A related quote that's sticking with me well at the moment is "no one wishes they spent more time on their phone when they are on their death bed".

For more realistic stuff, I generally use https://hackage.haskell.org/package/text-icu . For example, in an old project we had a type called `Texty`, which was roughly non-empty normalized text: mkTexty :: Text -&gt

There's a good chance you'll end up on a list if you're an exit node, but if you're just using Tor I think you should be good.

If there are any bug reports you could file, that would be much appreciated. Installing Emacs should just be a case of downloading the prebuild binaries, which shouldn't take long at all. I use Spacemacs and have never encountered any

Consider something like https://pythonhosted.org/passlib/modular_crypt_format.html and support all your old hash-functions. If you really want to migrate people to the new hash functions, you can: * Fully expire the ac

Yes, this is a terrible idea - it violates referential transparency, which is a property that is always worth working towards, imo. I can't think of a reason to justify breaking that property in this scenario.

I'm aware of that. You didn't however have such a reliance on cars, nor the convenience afforded to having a car (e.g., the popularity of drive-thrus now, which were only getting started in 1980). There is such easy access to thin

Does this study factor in the huge life style changes over 20 years? Far more access to cars, and far more spending entire days sitting down (computer jobs, Netflix binge watching, etc). A lot of how we live has changed in 20 years, I'
