This is especially true with HiDPI screens. If your primary content is textual in nature, then using low contrast colors is disrespectful to your readers. This is amplified when designers don't use relative scaling units for font sizes

For more practical examples like this, I highly recommend the Haskell Data Analysis Cookbook [1]. After learning the basics of Haskell, having a book chock full of practical examples of things like handling CVS files, JSON, trees, graphs, m

That EQ takes primacy over IQ is pretty well-established in the consulting industry. In fact, this is emphasized on day one for new hires. And you move into more client-facing roles in large companies, this becomes even more important. Of c

I typically use Vim for quick edits on my Mac, and especially on remote boxes. But for Haskell and Clojure development, it's hard to beat the tight integration features that Emacs provides (e.g. quickly piping your code or a single fun

Agreed that it’s rather awkward to tap the top left corner—unless you have large hands. Fortunately, more apps are now supporting the ‘swipe from left edge’ gesture to go back (e.g. Safari).

I highly recommend haskell-vim-now [1]. The author has a nice demo showcasing this setup, along with his virtual pair-coding environment [2]. With one install command, you get a polished Vim/Haskell setup with tab completion, type insp

Similar experience. I could never get Vim color schemes to work properly in Mavericks, despite many attempts. I've been using Terminal on Yosemite, and for what it's worth, the Solarized theme works properly. I'd forgotten ho

It's wonderful to see so many comments on Haskell! I began learning Haskell about a year ago. Coming from the world of C/Java/Ruby/Python, venturing into Haskell has been a phenomenal experience. While frustrating in the

This is superb! I too share your dismay with the current Haskell site. I think what you've put together really captures the elegance of the language. It's focused, crisp, and beautiful. Great work.

Likewise. The more I learn about Haskell, the more I've blown away by it's power and elegance. It's been a deeply rewarding experience. But spending days fixing dependencies to update the compiler on OSX and linux, followed b

As a thought experiment, just imagine Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, and Richard Feynman gathering their teams together in a room for a major announcement. All three scientists have reached a unanimous conclusion. Each time they try to meas

So far, Ubuntu 14.04 is working flawlessly here on a MacBook Pro with retina display (2012). Just speaking personally here. I've never been this impressed by a Linux release. If you have an HiDPI screen, then be prepared for a treat. I

This is very common. After graduating, I spent the last six years doing consulting for various Fortune 500 pharmaceutical companies, working in some 20 countries with routine interaction with C-level execs and board members. These activitie

I've had similar problems when switching between Android & iOS devices over the years with both T-Mobile and AT&T. It was a bit perplexing the first couple times it happened. Then I got used to the drill. The solution, at least
