    Strict by default is becoming increasingly popular in production. It makes programs behave a lot more predictably for many common use cases. Extensions are enabled on a module by m…

    I've used Haskell + Servant help reduce backwards compatibility issues with an iOS app depending on the API. We had Servant automatically generate OpenAPI specs from the API, and t…

    The concept of a constant distance orbit doesn't make much sense in 1D. A horizontal line in this model wouldn't indicate an orbit, but rather a completely stationary object. It wo…

    Ask HN: How do you keep track of company specific lingo?
