   I agree re: marketing -- something I had easily fell for. One of the authors has moved onto writing another Haskell book (a "work of art" apparently), but this time my interest, for an intermediate level book, is elsewhere: https

   I've never had to resort to mathematics (like category theory) when learning to use Haskell in real-world projects. And I don't think Hutton's or Bird's rely on mathematics for teaching Haskell.

   I read more than half of this book, and sadly I did not enjoy it at all. Read it only if you enjoy long-winded verbose explanations. Hutton's or Bird's is concise yet explanatory.

   Hutton's book followed by something like https://intermediatehaskell.com/ should do the trick.

   I agree with you. Elm is not going to change, however fortunately there are alternatives. Pick something like PureScript or GHCJS and move on like I did. I now write Haskell professionally[1] both for frontend and backend, something that yo

    > Racial equality and assimilation are attractive but only underline the loss, since to accept assimilation is in a way to accept permanent inferiority. Interesting. Anyone got details (background and context) on this quote?

    Maybe there is more to it (possibly in the realm of emotions) than body language or pheromones.

    Yes. We should let the body tell us what, and how to, eat. My body is allergic to a variety of food groups, so I'm eating only meat. Normally I eat two meals a day; but at times, depending on what my body wants, I may eat just one or t

    > Where was mind when the universe was born? This is an answer in the guise of a question, and the answer (belief) being that the universe is finite. Let me offer a better question: is the universe finite or infinite?

    Yup, with https://webassembly.org/ Not only TypeScript, one day we would be able to compile Haskell as well: https://github.com/WebGHC

    Took quite a bit of scroll to see someone recommending programming related books. HN culture has changed a lot indeed. :-P

    This. Curiosity should be the driving factor, not a moral injunction on oneself.

    I went with P71, running NixOS on it. The perfect development machine (with a 5k monitor to boot); way better than what MacOS or Windows can achieve.

    Have you not ever wondered about people that are as much of a virgin and unloved as you are and yet are naively mirthful and genial with an unconsciously callous disregard for societal value around love and desire?

    by sridca 8y ago

    Yea; one's position in the sex/desire spectrum doesn't necessarily change their general value/happiness in life. I think one key is in finding something (a hobby) that you identify strongly. I think they call it sublimat
