Sorry Tel, I didn't mean to imply that nobody uses them, more that I would guess that they are used less than 1% of the time where their inclusion could be beneficial.

You're right that Haskell doesn't distinguish different IO actions other than by the type they return. There are certainly libraries that do this though, although they aren't widely used. Even though Haskell doesn't dist

It's definitely monolithic, but depending on what you're doing it can be a real time saver to have a lot of decisions made for you up-front.

Dedicate set blocks of time to read novels. Only on Sundays for example. It doesn't matter what the book is, as long as it's fiction. It can be trashy but fun stuff like The Davinci Code... In fact, the lighter the better to start

I'd either link from the heading, or add some variety to the "View examples" links. Possibly something like: * Show me a world without Null * How does Haskell help me scale? * When does less code give me more?

The majority of this book is also highly portable. The techniques can be applied across languages very easily, although, the Haskell implementations are very elegant.

The wikipedia article for GameShark is pretty lean. I'm sure someone experienced in this subject could contribute a great deal of information.

Yes, the article was about simplifying statistical operations. The comments were inferring that some observed practices may have followed as a consequence. I'd prefer to discus the meat of the article, but it's not unusual to see comments g

What people are referring to with respect to Google is that if higher-level statistical operations are as easy as an if statement, then this may explain why google takes (presumably amorally) such a statistical approach their customers (bec

The majority of the 'proofs' I've seen that jQuery isn't a monad seem to either be probabalistic, or use the "Burden of Proof" argument to show that since nobody has proved that jQuery is a monad, we should assume that it isn't. I agree tha

I'm not sure you actually disagree with his method of learning monads. He primarily advocates for avoiding the use of analogies, which you seem to agree with. He advocates using concrete monads in real code, which you also seem to agree wit

This is very good. I'm getting a bunch of new tricks out of this even though I regularly use these libraries.

They cut out a significant portion, but not the last note. It's done more often than not when this prelude is used as backing music.

No one is attacking anyone or even trolling. The joke is that someone would misunderstand the headline, thinking that it was implying that Rdio was Acquiring Microsoft. The prospect of someone thinking this is so preposterous that it is fun

I've come to use the following command so often that I've written a script for it in my ~/bin - 'narrow': #!/bin/bash xargs -n 1 grep -l "$@" This takes a list of files on stdin, then greps for the argument in all the files and

I wish I could get a foothold on natural-deduction. I feel that it would be great to have an intuitive understanding, but at the moment all I can see is symbolic manipulation.

I'm not certain of the exact context since the comment has been deleted, but the impression I gained was that my parent comment suggested tenuously that a person could justify a sexist position taken against an individual due to a statisti

For those that don't want to wait until the similarities emerge, they begin at ~39 minutes. Obviously the primary motivation of the talk was entertainment, however, I imagine that the Perl implementation of "positronic variables" is actuall

I didn't have a single "ah ha" moment, but things became much clearer when I realised that although it was possible to have heterogeneous collections through the use of type-classes, what I nearly always wanted was to create a new data type
