I find the Haskell tooling ecosystem surprisingly terrible, given how rich the information content of the code is. There's virtually no equivalent of most functions from e.g. Intellij for Haskell that I know of (although I haven't

Learning Haskell isn't beyond any programmers though, and is likely to pay off long-term. I agree that other fringe languages might have less payoff though - Erlang/elixir, Clojure, F#/OCaml, Idris/Coq/Agda (althoug

An alternative comment (that would likely be more useful and spark more interesting conversation) might focus on listing the ways in which you see public transportation in SF as broken, and thoughts on how they might be sustainably (and pro

Interesting, hadn't heard about closed/open classes in speech. I agree that "they" serves the purpose well, but it's nice to see an explicit, consciousness-raising fix (though it's the ultimate bikeshed politic

Meh, I like 'hen'[0] a lot, wouldn't mind seeing a concerted effort to introduce it in English as well. I doubt it would go over well in the states, however. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen_%28pronou

React has been carefully designed to encompass better UI patterns regardless of the underlying platform. There are some very thoughtful and capable people working on it. Worth reading Jordan's thoughts here https://news.ycom

I've been playing around with getting Mori[0] more js-like, from more idiomatic function names and argument order (fn as the last argument, released) to playing around with a chaining API. Ideally we should be able to wrap javascript v

But there isn't such a thing as a "general CPU", is there? Some are more general than others, but just like VM's, CPU's are designed and optimized for a specific flow. You're expected to adapt your problem to

Comparing this a bit with Postgres-XL, how mindful of data locality do I have to be when querying? Looks like this drops right in for existing apps, but I'd be concerned about long-term performance if I didn't tailor my app code.

Anyone know what the equivalent upstream/downstream stats would be for all of cable/traditional tv companies? Most of these articles show how large Netflix is now - I'm curious how large they'll get.
