The mix of languages used, as evident on Github, is interesting: OCaml 30.6% C 20.5% HTML 13.1% C++ 13.0% Python 11.2% TeX 6.7% Wonder how that came about... The feature list looks quite impressive: * generates highly optimised IS

The article does not mention Scala Native at all. The title is a bit misleading.

Personally, I don't see the point of the Go formatting at all. While I get the idea, in practice, it is no different than having to remember formatting tokens a la strftime. You still have to look them up every damn time. Actually, rem

The docs @ Mozilla refer to the "WebExtensions" API, as if it was a standard. Google get's me nothing though, except the Chrome API and Operas copy thereof. So Mozilla basically just said: "Let's just copy the Chrom

Alright, that makes sense then. I just assumed it was intended to be about Haskell in general, since the first post was "Young developers like Discourse and Slack, not IRC", not very website specific. Maybe haskell_lang_org would

Why on earth would they launch a new subreddit when there is https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/ with 20k+ subscribers?

A great read indeed, thanks for that.

Why would you ever pay that kind of money for a course which teaches things that can most certainly be learned by reading 2 books which might cost 100£?

I find that most information in the media concerning health, nutrition and exercise comes from "experts" with no clue about (and no formal training in) physiology. Most Biology or Medicine students would know most of the informati

I was going to write a scathing comment about the study, but you pretty much said it all. This study is really quite pointless. What suprises me is that anyone with knowledge in physiology would call this study "brilliant". I woul

Great work! One other suggestion: in the info displayed after answering a question, a link to the Postgres documentation for the relevant query would be nice.

You'll be stuck with using a shim for old browsers for quite a while to come, especially when it comes to mobile. The good thing is, at some point in the future you can just drop the shim and everything keeps working. Lodash does has a

For reference: libmill was a project to copy Go's concurrency model to C 1:1 without introducing any innovations or experiments. The project is finished now. It will be maintained but won't change in the future. libdill is a follo

I can't upgrade to 6.0 yet. Also, I haven't tried it with FB, but a lot of apps actually fail or don't work properly if you don't give them all of the permissions they require.

Go does not allow external cancelling of goroutines though, which I have wrestled with a few times. The workaround is, of course, to have a "done" bool channel which is checked by the routine, but that's not always applicable

Just noticed that there is an entry in the FAQ. Pasting here for others: http://libdill.org/documentation.html It's C-idiomatic. Whereas libmill takes Go's concurrency API a implements them in almost 1:1 manner in

How is this different from https://github.com/sustrik/libmill ? It's from the same author.

I very determinantly refuse to install both the regular FB app and the messenger, even though this is quite inconvenient as I often miss messages or event invites. But they require pretty much EVERY PERMISSION there is on Android, which
