Pretty neat. I adapted the state management of hooks to Haskell a few years ago. Could be used for similar purposes, but there's no support for templating or styling yet: https://github.com/benweitzman/hooks

Applying the incompleteness theorem wouldn't say that every piece of complex code has unpredictable outcomes, but that there exists some pieces of code that have unpredictable outcome. Seems like in this case the outcomes were entirely

The meat industry is also cost effective due to massive government subsidies, at least in the US. Would these subsidies be available to lab grown meat operations?

What does xoring mean for combining two boards that have pieces in the same position? Is there a use for such an operation?

How are you comparing nutritional value between meat and plant products? There are literally hundreds of millions (if not billions) of people that have been eating vegetarian diets for their entire lives, and these types of diets have been

Strict by default is becoming increasingly popular in production. It makes programs behave a lot more predictably for many common use cases. Extensions are enabled on a module by module basis so if you turn on strictness by default, you ca

I've used Haskell + Servant help reduce backwards compatibility issues with an iOS app depending on the API. We had Servant automatically generate OpenAPI specs from the API, and then diff them against the version in prod during CI tes

I made a vegan pavlova just the other week. Took chickpea juice straight out of a regular can of chickpeas and whipped it up with sugar. No adjustment necessary.

The logic is not "if people buy it, it must be good", but more "if people buy it, there must not be something else that they can buy that gets them what they want for less".

I like using the layering with my Ergodox keyboard because it helps keep special characters I frequently use (parens, braces, brackets, etc) right under my fingers in a relaxes position. It alleviated a lot of finger strain I was feeling re

`select.project(sum(orderTable.amount) / sum(orderTable.quantity) * 100)` How does this work? I thought Java didn't have operator overloading. Are expressions represented as numbers somehow??

This looks really nice and convenient! Nicely done. Is there any way to add custom logic to the site once it needs it?

I've paid candidates and been paid by potential employers to complete take homes. I've also given candidates the opportunity to substitute a piece of open source code in place. This is admittedly still biased towards people who h

The concept of a constant distance orbit doesn't make much sense in 1D. A horizontal line in this model wouldn't indicate an orbit, but rather a completely stationary object. It would then make sense for the world line to curved b

If you don't publish packages anywhere, wouldn't that mean that if you update some library with a breaking change, you have to update all call sites? Maybe the fix for that is to never make breaking changes, but that has drawbacks

I agree, things that change frequently need more attention to make sure you're not spending more time than you need to make changes. Acknowledging that I'm changing the goalposts a bit, I would consider a lack of understanding abo

On the flip side, why bother spending time optimizing a process if nobody notices when it fails? Aren't there more important problems to be solving in at scenario?

Wow this is great! Fixing Haskell's arcane record system would be a huge step towards more mainstream adoption. It was certainly my largest pain point with the language over years of use in production.
