This would be a real game changer for me, from an internal marketing perspective and for personal use.

Just want to note that in Haskell, whitespace syntax _is_ syntactic sugar for brackets etc. I don't recall that being the case for python. Interesting tidbit, some of the big names in the Haskell community have very idiosyncratic codin

One of the few roguelikes I use tiles on, and my first roguelike ever.

The recent popular ones (edit: assuming I am reading correctly which games you refer to) are all pretty much spinoff genres that borrow heavily from traditional roguelikes, but break from the classic design attributes in very important ways

If you are a video game enthusiast, particularly of a niche genre, /vg/ can be a good place. I'm really into roguelikes, so I visit the '/rlg/' thread around once a week to see what's going on and pot

> checks and balances I tried not to smile at that, and I failed. Pretty sure nothing is 'checking' them from collecting data on every U.S. citizen.

Listed in no particular order: * Learning tools (they get in the way of solving the problem at the beginning imo) * Incomplete/inaccurate documentation * Not knowing what things are possible (both in code a la standard libraries or lan

Fully agree, with the minor exception that I'd say it's good for them to trigger a mental alarm. Lots of spin out there...

I was one of the people who didn't want to learn SQL/database stuff. What do you know, after a few years in the industry my interests lay heavily in serverside. I'd kick the old me if I could.

There is, but this recommendation is specific to the triangle area: the rural trends just don't apply.

I lived in Durham from 10 to when I started college (travelling back during breaks etc), and I loved it. I agree with you on every point, the triangle is fantastic. Just to reiterate: great food, great music, real diversity.

With dependent types you can. I'm not aware of whether that proof is possible in Haskell, however. Besides, that's not what I was saying. What I was saying it that + in Haskell means more than an overloaded operator. It means the

I think so, since you can also count on that type to implement the other required methods of Num.

Although I'm not as religious as I used to be, I still highly regard 'The Screwtape Letters'. CS Lewis is an excellent writer.

There's a big push towards the Language Server Protocol type tooling, I think that makes a noticeable difference in supporting personal preferences.

I do think obsessing about trivial things is harmful, but finding an editor you really like working with is very valuable. I was exposed to vim and had a really hard time working with it, but I saw the value that lay beneath the arcane surf

My goodness, that is exciting. I can't believe I haven't heard that yet. That is (to use my most hated business speak) a true paradigm shift.

The guy has serious issues, I was shocked at how toxic he gets at the drop of a hat. I was browsing a discussion on the Haskell subreddit and he was incredibly nasty, literally zero good faith given or assumed of others. Technical opinions

Agree 100%. If you don't have explicit state transitions in a UI, you're asking for trouble. I think some people don't realize how much harder they make it on themselves by not setting clear boundaries; they see the up front

I take issue with some of Rich Hickey's technical opinions, but Datomic seems pretty cool. I knew Datalog has been around for a while, but had never looked into it further.

Is it satire? the rest of it looks legit so I don't know what to think.

For me, it was the first level when time move backwards as you went left. I literally couldn't stop smiling, I was so excited at the cleverness of the mechanic and the possibilities resulting from it; the music going along with it was

Maybe it's just me, but 'negative' politeness has always been my default conversation mode. I didn't even know what it was until a few months ago, or that people studied 'politeness strategies'. Being deferenti

An example for your specialist skillset theory: Simon Marlow being hired by Facebook. Guarantee he's raking in the dough. Why? He solves hard problems.

What a fantastic format, I can see why.
