Oh man, I can't say enough good things about PureScript! One really neat thing is since PureScript basically copies Haskell's type system, if you learn PureScript you're learning to use one of the best type systems in industr

Oh, well said! Any strong language I used was directed at me as of a year ago who was wasting time on redirects no one would ever use, not the original authors.

Heh, you got me:) I agree the situation is more complicated than I described. My main response to this is: just because we can't always use content-addressable links doesn't mean we shouldn't use them where we can. I'm s

Working on IPFS/Tahoe-LAFS/Camlistore/BitTorrent is cool. Doing make-work isn't.

This is a make-work trap for conscientious people. If it's more efficient for your business/project to change your URIs when going through a website design, go ahead (with the knowledge that you'll lose some traffic, etc.) Se

I put my email down to spy on you:) My personal feeling is that (A) you're totally right that we need better _personal_ organization systems, but (B) the bottom layer (tagging, schemaing, relationships) should not involve fuzzy process

"It's backed by a powerful Artificial Intelligence." Ahhhhhhh! You're tackling a laudable goal, but it would help to link to a page with more technical details.

A great idea! I think tags are definitely a better way to organize most personal data than trees. Also I like that they describe what data they actually change on your computer right on the homepage: "TMSU does not alter your files in

I think Haskell is optimized for _rewriting_ code. Personally, I think this is far more important than reading code! Being able to read code is great (e.g. Python), but if you can't change things without fear the natural tendency of th

Nice, that definitely answers my question. When you do decide on how to export history please write a blog post or something about it, I'm curious to see what you come up with.

What's your data format? Good programmers will care as much about that as how your UI works. I see you've got a formatting guide: https://usecanvas.com/about/formatting-guide/0DZTK4lz2cWsqOn... Do you ha

> What you mean is, "effects are reflected". Haskell has a monadic effect system (IO is very rough-grained part of it), which can be combined via monadic transformers. Technically I'm on solid ground, IO _is_ reflected in

I've only written Haskell, but I'll try to give a fair shakedown from my perspective: + OCaml is eagerly evaluated while Haskell is lazily evaluated. This makes it easier to reason about things like memory use in OCaml. + IO is re

Whoa, how have I not seen this before? Thanks for the link.

Oh, that makes sense! So it's exactly like Vim (with noswapfile turned on) or any other program that tracks history at the application-level, but doesn't write it to the directory you're working in.

It's a tricky situation. I'm not sure which is best. The advantage of using a directory for your format is that it's easy to use preexisting tools on the contents of a note. Say your note looks like the Quiver example: B5

The more I read about different applications, the more I think you can't understand them unless you look at the underlying data format. Here's Quiver's: https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki&#x2F

That's a totally fair point. Hey, I never said it was a good article! Perhaps a charitable reading of it would be that instead of reading "unix sucks" (sadly I use almost these exact words in the article) instead read "t

I still think it is a very big stretch to go from web browsers (which suck on many levels) to unix bashing. This is a totally legit criticism. I think this connection is probably the most interesting idea I have in the post. Inter

Thanks for the nice words. I'm not sure about my conclusions either -- I'm particularly unhappy with how I described the type system for the data store. Type systems need more than ten minutes thought. As other people have pointed

You know, this is all said very earnestly but the problem is that it tends to ignore the fact that many, many great things have been achieved with current technology. We could look at our software infrastructure as hav
