To expand a bit, too, on how these definitions make side effects easier to represent in Haskell: One way to represent side effects in a purely functional language is to model them …

Sure! "Box" here is used to just abstractly describe a value that contains other values. Let's take a list as an example: [1, 2, 3] :: [Int] Here, the "box" is a list, and inside o…

My personal alternative take to the usual monad tutorial — greatly simplified: "Functor", "Applicative", and "Monad" are all just generalizations of the concept of `map` and `flatM…

"Go ahead"?

This is awesome! Love to see something new in this space, especially so heavily inspired by QuickSilver. The UI is slick and fast, and the fuzzy matching (and the match UI itself) …

This is awesome! The design is slick, and it really does feel right at home on a portable device. Appreciate the work that went into this. Even more so, huge kudos for the performa…

This is Swift, where Type? is syntax sugar for Optional . Swift's Optional is a standard sum type, with a lot of syntax sugar and compiler niceties to make common cases easier and …

I personally much prefer screen width / 1.618, but to each their own

For completeness, this description of alignment is misleading: > Well, dear reader, this padding is added because the CPU needs memory to be aligned in sets of 4 bytes because it’s…

Not at all: unless a license is provided, the code is fully protected under copyright and you have _no_ rights to copy it or use it in _any_ way you want (unless falling under "fai…

You're right, good question. At least partially, habit and muscle memory. I'm used to the keybindings, and the behavior for navigating tabs/splits/panes (across macOS, Windows, and…

Zellij is pretty great, and I recommend others check it out. The UI is extremely slick, and getting a comfortable setup is nicer (to me) than tmux or screen. Unfortunately, it's mi…

I think it'd be curious to see the code, some example strings, and whether or not you compiled with optimizations enabled — if you're willing to share. There's no reason for this t…

As a former NYC resident, and as someone whose family still lives and works in the city, I'm curious to see how this'll distribute traffic patterns throughout Manhattan. If you liv…

This wasn't obvious to me from the appearance of the page (I guess my screen is large enough that I didn't see the arrows in the bottom-right corner), but this site is actually a p…

You can even simplify this further by feeding `pbcopy` the key directly using file redirection instead of a pipe: `pbcopy (I use this all the time myself!)

Not quite true, though while I was there, many fellow employees misunderstood the rules to mean that you couldn't use GPL software on your machine. At least as of a few years ago, …

Only a few weeks, so the experience is still pretty fresh. :) I do like it, though: dead-simple once the setup was in place, and zero ongoing maintenance so far. My plan is to keep…

I recently found myself in exactly the same position for exactly the same reason, so happy to share my experience. :) I decided a priori to stick with email, both because I can't i…
