That's mentioned in the article. It gives Haskell's null handling a score of 5 stars, along with OCaml and Standard ML. EDIT: The articles definition of 5 star null handling is "Does not have NULL." :)

Congratulations! I couldn't be more excited about this. The personal computer revolution won't be complete until users have personal servers. Desktops, laptops, smartphones -- none of them compare in importance to controlling your

That makes a ton of sense. I'm definitely familiar with the difference between "where we could be" and "where the ecosystem is right now":)

In the second example how does a live programming system synthesize a "Person" object? Most data types should have `example` methods. They're too useful not to have, for documentation generation as well as live prog

Thanks for doing this! Project Euler people, there's no shame in unbundling your problem set and your web app. Actually, those are two different projects, so unbundling them would be technically sweet. Release your problems on GitHub o

Not very much, know of a good "beginner's guide to NASes"? Honestly though, while I'm sure they're cool, I'm not sure NASes will do much good here. Most people need something as simple to use and set up as Ever

Can't believe I'm wading into a "bubble" thread:/ Here are my thoughts. Disclaimer: I'm just some guy. epistemological confidence: low. There may be a bubble in consumer tech. There isn't a bubble in tech

Developer malpractice. Nothing security critical should be written in non-memory safe languages, unless you have no other option (like some embedded systems code). I'm not saying this to be mean. I've written lots of bad bugs myse

Pretty amazing that it's 2015 and we're still building custom code to make links go both ways. EDIT: Just realized that HN is going to be sensitive to this comment due to the "middlebrow criticism" issue. I have absolute

This seems like a repetition of the same point seven times. Let me try to rephrase your seven assumptions into a single, strong argument: "Doctors and patients treat intervention as the default response to medical issues, but there are

Reducing alerts is way more important than my idea, I totally agree with that.

by seagreen 12y ago
Pharmacists shouldn't be "clicking through" alerts. They should have a separate, joystick style device with an actual trigger (bright red). That trigger, and that trigger alone, can dismiss an alert. Seriously, what would tha

These migrations would be much easier if we specified dependencies by content, not location. Obviously not Google's fault, just something to think about as we build future systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCZMoY

That's awesome news. I'm suspicious there's too much overlap between Camlistore and Tent for them to both be useful, since they each do data storage and sharing, but that's not your problem:)

by seagreen 12y ago
Does anybody have any thoughts on the differences between Sandstorm, Camlistore, and Tent? It seems there are a number of problems here. We need: 1. Better data stores 2. Better server environments 3. Better ways to share data with others I

They got into YC with Flynn ( https://flynn.io/ ) which kept them busy for a while, but Tent 0.4 development is starting to pick up again.

JSON Schema already (optionally) supports datetimes, they definitely shouldn't make up their own way: http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-validation.html#an... I love the goal of the project though.

For fun I'm attracted to various high-level information processing stuff and I do backend web dev at work. Haskell's definitely a Python replacement for me, I'm not writing any OSes in it.

by seagreen 12y ago
I switched from Python and Go to Haskell over the last year. Haskell takes much longer to compile than Go and cabal hell can really suck. Other than that it's been absolutely fantastic.

Feedback is extremely important. So important, in fact, that you shouldn't rely on _deeply_ compromised sources for it. People who have just rejected you will never be reliable sources for feedback (on average). That's what friend

Ask HN: Is there a JSON format for specifying a test case?

Nix does have unprivileged package management via a CLI tool, though the absolutely fantastic describe-the-whole-system-in-one-file wonder that's configuration.nix[1] takes elevated privileges. [1] E.g: https://github.com&#x
