A lot of people mistake Purity as a language feature for meaning a more pure functional language. What makes a language functional is that their basic unit of abstraction is functions, not whether they isolate IO effects by default.

How far can we get leveraging the lens library in Haskell to model Moore Machines and Wiring Diagrams?

I feel strongly that the future of media content will be a search for human authenticity buried under an ocean of generic generated content.

This is technically really impressive but does anyone actually _want_ mass produced AI music?

What brand of blades did you use? Most of mine were Forrest or Tenryu. The Forrest blades are very heavy.

I think they make their money in the scale. They have a pickup guy who drives all over Los Angeles to pick up blades from all their customers. We had him come in every 2 months. He would return a batch of sharpened blades and take whatever

Yes I have the industrial grade Sawstop. I ran a professional carpentry business for years using it as our main saw. I probably bought it around 2012 or 2013, I can't remember exactly. I don't know what to tell you. I ran a profes

Professional sharpeners have tools for testing blade conditions. We had a guy who would drop by the shop once every couple months and pickup all our used blades to service. This is really standard fare with professional carpentry. I don&#x2

It really depends on the cost of the blade.

When I ran a woodshop we would get our blades resharpened for about $30 and new teeth were a few dollars each. Its absolutely worth it when your blades are $100+

I've done it plenty of times. New teeth cost a few bucks when you get your blade resharpened. When you have blades high cost blades ($100+) its absolutely worth it to get them resharpened and teeth replaced.

Nitpick: It doesn't destroy your blade. You just have to get it resharpened and possibly get some new teeth brazed on. Otherwise, yeah i agree its annoying to pop the break on a wet piece of wood or a missed nail.

Combinators are great for little ad-hoc parsers but if you have gotten to the point of laying out a formal grammar you should go with a parser generator.

I 100% agree and I think the periodic table is an inappropriate abstraction for organizing tools.

This table seems heavily biased towards the home woodworker/DIYer with some random antique hand tools thrown into the mix. I also can't really make heads or tails of the organization. How can "saw teeth," "air press
