Well yeah nobody talked about removing JS's duck typing algo.

I don't want to say what I'm about to say, but... I don't care about the type signature of promises. I actually don't care about the type of anything which has a complicated type; I think it's just incredibly winnin

What distro did you start with? Mostly I had trouble with setting up JACK. Then, I have to admit, I didn't make it easy for myself; I tried to use SuperCollider, which worked... Somewhat, until I nerded out and tried to speak to it fro

Okay, I used Ableton on Win7 for a while, and tried to keep making music when I made the switch to Linux, and so far (after 3 years of on-and-off effort) it's been a complete and total failure for me, and I don't know anyone makin

Too lazy, but you can just google "miller magic number" and it explains to you that we can remember 7 +- 2 elements at the same time and discusses a few implications, such as phone numbers having 7 digits.

After a year or so of near constant dependency hell problems with Haskell, I stabilized all my setups on GHC7.8.3 and the associated Stackage inclusive, and it all... just... works... I can finally go and write some relevant code now.
