Arecibo was initially built to excite plasma balls in the atmosphere to study them, and was also used for other transmitter uses that required a super powerful transmitter, initially designed for that plasma use.

The cost of electricity in CA is mostly the cost of the distribution infrastructure maintenance, which is a value approved on several levels of government, and the actual electron cost is hidden from the end user behind layers and layers of

I don't even have my full calendar on my personal phone, I just share the "busy" status calendar as a public calendar then subscribe to it on my phone. I can see when my first meeting is, but nothing else!

I realized recently that I enjoy learning new programming languages, not even using them sometimes. I'll read all the tutorials and documentation, get it running on my PC, then find a new language I like more later and dump this one. I

Awesome! Thanks for that info! I think I'll try it out tonight, I still haven't used my free AWS products, so maybe I'll try a few others, too.

Yes, large organizations that aren't tech oriented will use Oracle every time over other solutions. It's not a great solution for tech companies, but they do say no one ever got fired for choosing Oracle or IBM or whatever, mainly

Can I push to a git repo and have it automatically deploy the code there, like in Dokku, without any work at all? To be clear, I am looking for a way to click through some setup stuff in a user management console then set some configuration

I have no clue what this is, like everyone else, but if AWS released a Heroku-like deployment tool that scaled massively and only cost the underlying resources and a small fee, I'd use it immediately for almost all my Dokku projects. I

Thanks for taking the time to answer that person's question with such great detail and also talking about several levels. It was a joy to read.

Excellent! I think that's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for going into detail on that, it helped immensely. I have a similar problem (though can't talk too many details) with discrete "ticks" and with

So you would model the equations on the fly for a certain optimization problem? If so, can you expand on the problems you were solving? I'm trying to solve a similar sounding problem where I have to build the model equations from scrat

If they're almost the same, could you use one git repo with different branches for each version? Or archive them with restic into a folder and restore which one you need each time. Either method should deduplicate data if they're

Same, I'm about to quit computers and just go all in on my child and live at home with my family.

Interesting, do you have any details on that? I've always seen it's origin story start in telecommunications.

Haskell has been around for a really long time, almost 4 decades. It's used quite a bit by programming language theorists and category theorists to prove their mathematical theorems in a real language. It's not trendy or experimen

The original article was in a Haskell context, where you'd use a Maybe or Either to prevent that sort of mistake.

I wish i could pay for no ads on everything. If there are only like three ad networks for 99 percent of the internet, and they can track me easily, and they know how much I'm worth to them, can't they just email me every month and

Because gboard predicts email addresses, and I have several Haskell-related mailing lists in my whitelist, gboard always tries to autocorrect "Haskell" to "haskell-mailing-list@..." when I am trying to text my pal about

For sure, and I appreciate that! I just wish everyone would go nix, or everyone would go stack, or whatever.

I love writing Haskell code, but the community desperately needs to agree on one method of install and project setup-- cabal, stack, nix, whatever-- and then make it WAY easier for new users to start projects. I'm not at all saying sim

That's no longer true, in case you were wondering. People still say `bytes <-"instead of"-> chars` sometimes but we should stop that.

I've been looking for something between Heroku (too expensive, too many features) and Dokkku (too much hassle, I have to maintain my own security and patches) and this looks like exactly the thing I wanted, except it looks like it&#x27

You should use Haskell and see what it can do, you can change the prelude easily, for instance. The standard head function is partial, yes, but that's not a big deal at all.

Honestly, in the Haskell world, no one really complains about broken APIs, it's actually pretty common for a library to change things in a breaking way. People tend to either use Nix or stack to deal with versioning or they just plan t

An effects system like this is more about controlling your own code and allowing for switching off implementations easily versus declaring what effects it has. Your declaration of effects on your function is saying, for example, "I nee

You can't just install OSX on any PC, so why would you think Linux would be that way? I purchased a System76 and have zero issues with anything. I use a Toshiba for work also running Pop OS, and it has some minor issues, but I expect t
