Yeah, not a bad method. And I suppose if I've already commited my unit test, I could use a "git reset --soft" to put the test in a stash. Next time I use bisect, I'll try to do this. Thanks

You're not considering the time it takes to manually test. * How much time does it take to do a clean build? * How much time does it take to do a deploy? * How much time does it take to reproduce the issue manually? Add thos

One thing that seems difficult with bisect are these series of steps: 1. "Hey... this bug didn't use to happen. Where'd that get introduced?" 2. OK, this unit test will tell me when the bug is fixed. 3. Now lets

Yeah it's pretty good, but it still has issues. My game uses a manifest.cache and the console/networking tab does not give good feedback with it. In chrome, the console will tell me, "This file could not be found". In

Why doesn't the URL look how it would look if you hit y by default? Seems like that would be what you usually want. When I send someone a link, it's because I want them to see what I'm looking at.

Wow I've gotta say, this looks great. Something that bugs me is I couldn't copy the code in the upper right to the code "try it" section. I haven't used haskell for 6-12 months, so I'm not sure what I'm d

I want the "write once, run anywhere" that Java gives me. I guess I'm just spoiled, but it's what I've come to expect.

What made me give up on Haskell was all the libraries had native linux bindings. It was hell reusing code if you're developing on windows (and I've heard this is true on macs, too). Does OCaml have this issue?

Sorry, I meant "fringe" conspiracy theories. Otherwise my point was kind of off topic to bring up. Imagine if that "vaccines cause autism" crowd didn't get air time. Perhaps they wouldn't get personal exempt

Devil's advocate: When's the last time a fringe* conspiracy theorist's agenda has been able to effect legislature? EDIT: Added the word "fringe". As in, a conspiracy theory that doesn't get media coverage.

Nice. What libraries/technologies are you using to render the front end?

I believe that's called BDD. Behavior Driven Development. It has a separate name because TDD-ers kept making this mistake.

I hate the ones that require you to give an in person interview with them before they'll suggest you for an in person interview with a company. Can someone explain the reason they do this?

I'm pretty ignorant of both languages (but I have novice experience in both): Moving to Haskell, don't you miss Lisp macros? How do you deal with that?

I wrote my first shell script that actually matters a few weeks ago (in other words, I'm a total newb). Its purpose is to validate the configuration of another app. It seems to me that "set -o pipefail" would get in my way,

How is it doing that?

I probably should be too embarrassed to ask this question, but why can't I use script tags in the second test? I don't understand what's preventing me from doing that.

Sure, but like I said, "Long story short, I tried installing ~10 libraries with Cabal and only one installed smoothly."
