Nevertheless I heard (I should investigate this rumour) that being lazy enabled an easier integration of the IO system so there seems to be a connection between pure (i.e. side-eff…

Is it concerning that most Haskell optimization guides talk about adding ! to enforce evaluation? It may be a sign that pure functional programming is not quiet there in the real-t…

Pretty nice. Writing a tetris clone targeting terminals is a fun endeavor and the easiest way to produce some moving graphics (besides Conway's Game of Life). It's also interesting…

Firefox@Ubuntu14. I think it works as intended by the designer it just irritates me that some images will stand still while scrolling.

Wow, again a page that messes with the scrolling experience? What's up with that? Terrible user experience.

What a crappy design. If I scroll down and there is an image, I have to scroll further (without visual indication) and then the text will float over. I have seen this design now on…

Another approach would be to choose a client server architecture but this is probably faster done in a separate project. But the idea would be that we have something like an editor…

It is true that there are systems (Lisp Machines, Oberon, Smalltalk, etc.) with a more integrated approach and there are great ideas, but what I meant with the term "IDE" is classi…

>A simple example is if I want to iterate through every item in a container, I'd like to just type 'for', tab, the first few letters of the container variable, tab, and have it all…

I had a look at the video and it really seams nice, but for me the cost (learning yet another tool, integrating it into your workflow, dependance on yet another big-size software p…

I think it's always weird how multi-dimensional arrays are implemented in most C programming books. Do you guys really use a pointer-pointer approach to represent them? Because now…

Cool tech, but ... I went to the About-Page and I got the following message out of it: "We all want to spend our time dooing meaningful things so we ... bla bla ... have to make an…

Welcome to HN! Ruby is a good idea for webdev but keep in mind that Python is also dominant in other domains of computing in particular scripting and scientific computing. So in my…

Good news! I would like to add that another advantage of Python is its usage for scientific computing (Math, Physics, Biology, ...) so students hopefully choose Python to help solv…
