So you can do something like this: data Foo = Foo { _bar :: String } data Buzz = Buzz {_bar :: String} And derive lenses? I think it doesn't - this is more than just a duplicate record name, you also end up with a duplicat

I've been trying to decide whether to bother with Infinite Jest or not. I've heard very good things about it, but also that it is a pretty tough read. I think your comparison with Snow Crash has swung it for me; IJ is definitely o

If a real football team did this I think it would work. Why don't they? Which step is the unrealistic one in the game?
37.
by rfergie 11y ago
Probably pretty easy. It is different, but the core semantics are the same so you just have to worry about new syntax (and worse python integration)

From what you say there I think you understand me. Throughout this interaction I am assuming a few things: 1. Reclining causes discomfort to the person behind 2. But the amount of discomfort varies quite a bit from person to person (e.g. I

I do some data work with a small UK charity. Right now we need some help with deciding how best to proceed with our IT stuff. So probably not programming right now, but definitely the sort of thing a programmer could help with. Hit me up at

Just to be clear - if they say "no" then I don't recline. But I can see that this isn't clear from my original post so sorry for causing confusion

If this a tragedy of the commons type scenario? Individual comfort is maximised if you recline, but the comfort of the cabin as a whole is better if only some people recline?

It seems we are both entitled. Me in expecting politeness from my fellow flyers and you in that you want to use every inch of space you have paid for. I can't really say you are wrong - I think we just come at the question of how to ge

If the entertainment system is mounted in the head of the seat in front then reclining that chair brings it well below my eyeline - I cannot slump low enough in my seat so that I can see it.

Likewise. I'm 2.04m and I never recline without asking. I expect the same courtesy from those sitting in front of me

Haskell was the first language I learned. There is tremendous depth to it which I am still exploring but to start and do the beginner kind of things I was wanting to do it is not hard. Maybe not as easy as Python, but there is a huge gap be

The reputation rather than the actual experience of Haskell is what puts people off.

My personal responses to these are interesting. The first three I was all like "yes! So glad someone articulate is finally saying this". Then for type systems I was unable to overcome my current biases, thinking "what a load

You will be able to find developers this way and generate sign ups. I do not know enough about your business to say whether or not you will be able to do so in a cost effective way.
