Thing seems to be built on top of Stack. Nice to see the Haskell community aligning itself so fast around a package manager/build tool created first and foremost for ease of use and convenience.

But it is Postgres - QL, because you have Postgres, the server, and its Query Language. Straightforward. ... okay no I was trolling

Is there a product called, or commonly referred to as "PSQL" that could be confused for PostgresSQL? Because I think the project should start advocating "PSQL". See, The competition is called "MySQL". One sylla

Ha! Cunningham's law. I see that many OOP languages (of various purity) have interfaces that may be extended by other interfaces. Is that what you're talking about? I also found that *variance is used in the context of Haskell, bu

Ahhhh, *variance. The definitive explanation of why inheritance should always be avoided in favour of implementation of abstract interfaces.

Oh my god it's written by David Foster Wallace, there is a javascript widget to display the footnotes, and some footnotes have footnotes. Perfect. Thank you so much.

If it starts to suck like MySQL, will it become popular like MySQL? I think that'd be a fair tradeoff.

There's that bit which made me chuckle at first, then think. A lot. When he shows an algorithm written in prose, then in modern mathematical notation. The real leap forward here? User interface. Everywhere I look, I see instances of th

I suppose that hackers having a social (sexual?) life outside of work is a huge time management issue at Alibaba. It's pretty fascinating that they are willing to solve that problem in such a straightforward and explicit way. I mean yo

It's no fair, I have none of "the hum" here so I have to play my own drone on my speakers and I'm running out of bands. Either way I'm pretty sure the entire phenomenon is just SunnO))) recording albums.

If you read the fine print and use Pathogen, you can just clone and make in .vim/bundle/color_coded and it will work.

Thank you! I have a nice lil' prototype going on in Snap, I have Persistent running, and I'm this close to have auth working. But in the meantime, I have lots of logs to parse ; )

Yeah, I meant "cute" more in the sense of "elegant". Unfortunately it felt too barebones and there wasn't enough documentation to let me get everything running. I like that lib, though. ... Halcyon, I'l remembe

Hey, that's pretty cool! After playing with Haskell for the last two years, I figured that it would be pretty damn hard to write conventional LAMP/JS webpages in Haskell, but I still wanted to try to solve some of my real world
