Resolve also has a premium Studio offering with some features that are particularly appealing to professional users. I assume that helps cover some of their costs.

I got one so that I could make copies of my apartment keyfob; I live alone and having a spare keycard that goes inside my phone case has saved me from locking myself out of my building multiple times. For me it's already paid for itsel

This article doesn't touch on what I consider to be the central feature of Haskell: it is lazily (more precisely non-strictly) evaluated. A lot of the other aspects of it, such as monadic IO, follow from that decision.

Why not `git clone --bare`?

I hope there's at least one chapter on compact data structures!

I wrote about these too: https://vaibhavsagar.com/blog/2018/07/29/hamts-from-scratch/ ! Unfortunately it's in Haskell which probably makes it less approachable than it would be otherwise.

I personally use Vim, but Emacs alone is IMO the strongest counterexample to your claim about Lisp interpreters (followed by all the programs scriptable with Guile).

I also have my own implementation of packfiles [1], which I implemented as part of a toy Git implementation in Haskell [2]. I personally found the packfile format underdocumented, e.g. the official reference for the packfile generation stra

This is why I do all of mine in Haskell.

Doing a hashmap lookup is already very much like using a bloom filter: for any addressing scheme, if an element exists at a particular location, then either the key exists or it's a false positive. If no element exists, then there&#x27

At my last job, we had a Python codebase that had grown large and unwieldy. We wanted a language with stronger compile-time guarantees and better concurrency support. After evaluating several options the team at the time settled on Haskell

Yup, I'm doing this. I was living in the US when I interviewed in Feb 2020 but as an Australian citizen on an E-3 visa I had to leave the country to get a new one and then the pandemic happened. So far my employer has been happy to hav

Why there aren't more places like Recurse Center: creating and sustaining a space for self-directed learning is a difficult and mostly thankless job. It also doesn't pay particularly well, the last job posting I found[1] mentions

I'm not sure what you mean by "internship", I don't think RC has ever offered those. I was rejected the first time I applied to do a batch at RC. I applied again a few months later and was accepted.

I love Nix and NixOS, but having "a lotta gotchas" doesn't square with "no nasty surprises".

I recently switched to https://www.goatcounter.com/ , which is also open source and privacy-conscious, and I've been very happy with it. Even though I'm on the free tier, the developer has been incredibly responsiv

DJ software! AFAICT Mixxx is the strongest player in this space, and it doesn't hold a candle to Serato/Traktor.
