I worked on a side project once where I forced myself to use Haskell for everything: build scripts, RabbitMQ consumer, web app. Basically as systems-y as you could get. Once I got over the pain of learning new APIs, I didn't regret the

I just want to quickly plug package.el, which is one of those things that make you go "Oh, yeah, that's how it always should've been done. Why didn't I think of that?"

People, also, used to define marriage as being between two people of the same race. Let us dispense of this tangent once and for all: Marriage is a civil right. It is the cornerstone of this civil rights movement, as it was to the last one,

Seconding. I've used conduit before, and it was a delight to use something so carefully designed. The blog posts about conduit are in themselves an insight into how to think with Haskell. http://www.yesodweb.com/blog&#x

No way. MTG is super awesome; the fact that Mt.Gox is indirectly linked to Magic only makes it cooler.

I'm in my 20s and the idea of Bush v. Gore being a watershed moment resonates with me, a loss of innocence occurring at a grand scale while a smaller private individual version happened to me. It's so easy for me to trace recent history bac

Question out of curiosity: did you notice any performance improvements from using DataView and ArrayBuffer?

Based on my past experience working on self-hosted Kiln, I firmly believe creating a self-hosted version would cost more than it would rake in. It's different for every product and it's different for every company, though. (Sorry for the co

The datacenter is in Zone A, which did receive the mandatory evacuation order from the city, but we have a few people from Fog Creek onsite or nearby right now and there is at least one person from PEER 1 there right now. Roads to the area

DFW references this argument in his fiction, so I'll try to do it justice: I respectfully disagree. Depression does not stem from "I don't what happiness is". A depressed person is aware of happiness, of the fact that he or she right now sh

I'll take a stab at it! A very simple model of a computer to think about is one that has two components: a memory and a CPU. Picture the memory as a big array that contains both code and data (and there's no way of telling which is which);

Keep in mind that when you choose ASP.NET you're only locking yourself to a platform, not a language. At my office, for example, we're looking forward to using F# -- by all means a well-designed, thoughtful language in the ML family -- to r

Infinite Jest. It's hard to say anything about it that hasn't already been said a million times, so I'll abbreviate the standard one: If you trust the author for the first 100 pages and refuse to pass judgment, you will be rewarded with som

It seems like writing a symbolic differentiation routine is the new FizzBuzz, which is JUST FINE BY ME.

Just for fun, I thought I'd round it out by implementing the last two steps of OAuth (sending the user to Twitter and exchanging a PIN for an access token) since somebody else already did all the hard work :D https://gist.github.com/564687
