I think that paper came up on HN before and IIRC the tasks they were measuring were things like manually positioning some figure in an arbitrary position. This is not a use case LaTeX optimizes for or one that comes up often in my experienc

Whoa, that seems like a very strong claim claim and is contrary to my understanding. I know that instrumental variables can be a powerful approach, but it's not always easy to find a good instrument. And you can try to control for conf

Are you confused or am I confused? Elm does ship it's own runtime and standard library. Or at least it used to.

Committing things to long-term memory is an absolutely essential component of any sort of learning. There are many studies talking about how doing doesn't necessarily imply any learning at all and only implies learning insofar as it le

One semi-real problem with `Arbitrary` is that quickcheck itself can only define a fairly small set of instances since it doesn't want to incur a dependency on all of Hackage. Likewise, other packages are unlikely to bring in quickchec

Can you give an overview of or pointers to critiques? My prior is that Krugman is more likely to by correct than the average crypto person, even after adjusting for interest in and attention to crypto.

The first principles argument is consonant with my actual experience in the Midwest and SV. I have vastly more money left over after living expenses in SV.

FYI, most evidence suggests unstructured interviews (talking to the candidates) have very low predictive power about job performance and that work sample tests (take home problems and on-site coding) fare much better in that regard.

Actually, I realized I follow the "abstract recursion out of your structures" intuition but don't really realize why you chose Cofree instead of some of the other options: import Control.Monad.Free import Control.Co

FWIW, I appreciated the example of Cofree in use.

My company actually has and uses Zipkin. The thing that I'm looking for that I think is lacking is a way to identify critical paths without manually clicking through a bunch of traces and eyeballing them.

You may already know both of these things, but due to your request for more info, I'll err on the side of overinforming: > I have more problems with the consequences of the FAM argument - that we inexorably ought to use all our life

ML uses "functors" in a different sense than e.g. Haskell.

I don't follow. You're saying that the store didn't provide parking to help some future, possible me-with-a-car? How is that relevant?

by pseudonom- 10y ago
You pay for private parking spaces, in part (i.e. in combination with other customers). I also pay for parking spaces, in part, by my patronage but never use them. Consequently, your share of the usage is higher than your share of the payme

I think the proposal people are making is better thought of as indexed monads and effects rather than indexed monads or effects. Normal extensible effects looks like: data Union :: [Type] -> Type -> Type where ... dat

by pseudonom- 10y ago
Extensible effects arise from combining a free monad with an open union of functors. Using an indexed free monad with indexed functors instead is a generalization that provides more expressive power. Intuitively, I like to think of it as: -

It's pretty handy to only have to be vigilant at the boundary layer. With the untyped approach, all consumers of the deserialized map have to guard against data which doesn't conform to expectations. With the typed approach, all s

Can you talk a little more about your thoughts on one big atom? I've been looking at Redux and they also seem to follow this approach. The re-frame readme quotes the Elm Architecture as justification, but that same document goes on to
