Thanks, I think Real World Haskell was the resource I was looking for. I'll try to get through it in the next month and see how it goes.

Could you guys explain to me what Haskell would be mostly useful for. For instance, can it be used to make a web app backend or a GUI app? Or is it mostly for mathematical calculations and such. I tried to pick up Haskell once, but I guess

I think stevenspasbo did not mean to criticize the progress in this area, but rather just point out the misleading title of the article. Unless you program everything in pure ASM, Bios and up, you always stand on the shoulders of others, th

Actually, HyperJump is probably more of a memory aid at the moment. I am setting up a new development server with CentOS, and I am just not used to their directory structure yet. I usually setup Ubuntu, but this time around one of our devel

Reading a lot of the comments about this story, the takeaway should really be that people prefer different sized devices. I like the size of the iPhone 5. After iPhone 6 came out, I have even considered looking at some of the android device

If it's ok, I would like to shamelessly plug a very similar project I finished about 5 years ago: http://carpynotes.com/ It's notes plus a todo list. The user manual is auto loaded into the body of any blank note,

>You're making a mistake. There is no 1 ton helicopters with 12 kW power on shaft. Even with 24 or 36 kW. I'm on iPhone so can't say exactly what thrust 12kw would produce on 6m prop. Around 300kg I'd estimate. Based

Yes, but 8 props will be considerably less efficient then one prop in generating that thrust in the first place. For instance: One 300x8 inch prop will generate roughly 1 ton of thrust while spinning at 330RPM and consuming 12kW of energy.

lotsofmangos is right! I have designed and built RC helicopters, tricopters, and quadcopters, from scratch. More blades is usually a lot less efficiency. There is something to be said for tricopters. From the point of view of pure efficienc

Because cars are not expected, under normal circumstances, to experience abnormal amounts of current on any given circuit. Unlike a house, where you can easily plug in something into the outlet that can overwhelm the circuit, in a car each

I can see 3 reasons why CloudFlare is protecting the site of LizardSquad, first 2 of which are really bad reasons: 1. Perhaps their logic is, if they protect LS's site, perhaps LS is less likely to attack services behind CloudFlare in

I do remember back in the day playing AT Bots, it was a similar concept, only you would write the bots in assembly, which was kind of fun, because on top of the strategy, you also had to figure all the ways to profile your code. Like for in

If you pay for business level support it's usually much better. Panasonic only really deals with Business, so I had the best experience with them, though I still had to fight through initial wall of incompetence. Apple also has a busin

But in all honesty, can you name another manufacturer who does have good technical support? I have dealt with tech support people from Dell, HP, Panasonic, Lenovo, and Apple. They all have the same roadmap of denial: 1. I don't see the

I think Cygwin is trying to be an Operating system ontop another operating system. Windows is in C:\Windows, so there is some logic behind Cygwin being in C:\Cygwin. It's not ideal, but I wouldn't call it all together illogical. T

I must agree with the author on the issue of software quality coming out of Apple. Perhaps slowing down and concentrating on quality is something Apple should really consider. We do NOT need a new release of the OSX every single year. Furth

Is this a complaint about the Preview app? Because obviously all other programs you might run in OSX make their own decisions about their functionality. Personally, I always use the Menubar search feature via QuickSilver or the default Help

Yes, it only appears in "reduced transparency" mode, but that's no excuse. Again, this is a well reported bug that many people have noticed 6 months ago and it would take an Apple intern 20 minutes (maybe an hour if they were

Also, this is part of the final build? https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/800/1*EdAxsHqdZmZ7... Really, this bug was reported in the original beta, 6 months ago!

I recently updated from Mavericks to Yosemite on my 2012 rMBP. Even with no transparency on my battery life was down from 6+ hours to less than 3.5 hours! And everything is so annoyingly slow. After 3 days with Yosemite I had to use my wife

Most people value education because it's a path towards a better job, which is in tern a path towards getting X, screwing X, and living in X. Further, education does not equal intelligence.

I find the idea that dominant intelligence in the universe would be artificial very strange. It's just a cool idea, with no empirical proof. Look at our own progress. At the rate we are currently going it is far more likely that we lea
