I've also done stuff like x <- m1; f x; x <- m 2; f x; in a do-block, and it's not clear to me how to write 'shadowfrom' (or however you pronounce '<-' in that context).

I think you and the GP (or whatever) are talking past each other. Their original point was that it's essentially impossible for a person to opt out of the labor market, because without money they can't buy food and will starve to

I think that saying you can 'learn Haskell in a week' is really short sighted. You can learn to parse a Haskell program and write a guess-the-number program in a week, but learning how to write good Haskell is going to take mont

I was able to get basic SSL working with basically no effort just by Googling around for 'SSL nginx'; the Mozilla article doesn't tell you to choose a ciphersuite, it tells you 'use this one unless you know what you&#x27

This doesn't address your comment itself, but: a lot of people assume that any kind of insult to the other side in a debate is an ad hominem. This isn't true. If you tell me that 2+2=5, and I say "no, you're delusional,
