The problem with this argument is that the OS doesn't provide you with the mesh that integrates all these tools together under a consistent interface. That's what Emacs and Emacs Lisp provide. I can jump from code to documentation to org-mo

You're making the same mistake as GP. I love Git, and I know that asking "what branch was this commit on" makes no sense. My point is that some users have different requirements as to what a DVCS should provide. If Git can't fulfill some of

Although in implementation, a commit is not done on a branch, for the user, that is precisely what happens. You checkout a branch and you do a commit while on that branch. Thus, to the novice, it might be perfectly normal to expect Git

That's the first thing I noticed. What was used instead of Warp? I also see that Snap got pulled in a couple days ago, so it will probably get tested in the next round. Should be interesting to see how it fares against Yesod.

That's like saying that using "malloc" and "free" will allow you to fix your memory management bugs faster than using "new" in Java.

depends. for small commits, a one-liner suffices. For large commits, merge commits, etc., or for repos that require you to sign-off on the commit or whatnot, a one-liner followed by a blank line and then a nice paragraph or bullet-point lis

yep, people are already doing micropayments on reddit. See http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcointip and http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin . Basically, you can do "tip $0.50" on reddit and a bot will parse your comment and process the transaction

I wouldn't call Yesod "anti-haskell". By default, it relies on QuasiQuotes and TemplateHaskell a lot [1], which are extensions to the GHC. So by default, you'd have a hard time running Yesod applications on anything else but GHC (the Glasgo

ditto. I hear Warp (the server behind Yesod) is a beast.

Off-topic but: Can you comment on the significance of this cliff for a team considering moving from R to Haskell for data analysis? Is the availability for statistics packages really sparse in Haskell?

That sortBy is split into 6 sub-functions, all 2 to 4 lines each. You want it more broken down?

This tells you that "map reverse" returned a function that takes a list and returns a list. This function does not have a "Show" instance (analogous to someone failing to implement the "toString()" method for that type), so an error is thro

I misused "action". Replace "to give the client URLs to the next possible actions." with "to give the client URLs so they can perform their next possible actions on related resources". My point remains: one of the main reasons of using HATE

An optimized tail-recursive call is just a loop. As far as I know, there are no stack traces for loops in imperative languages.

too lazy, or too busy ? I could be doing a bunch of other non-lazy things I much prefer doing instead of cooking, such as coding, exercising, music, reading, etc.

You can also ask yourself what step of learning you're at. Do you just want to build stuff? Then you can probably jump to coffeescript right away (especially with the new Source Maps feature). Do you want to get more in-depth knowledge of p

I don't understand all the negative reactions. Canonical is recognizing various problems in making GNU/Linux mainstream. They are then innovating at a deeper level (fixing root causes rather than duct-taping) to ultimately attempt to really
