The half-edge data structure, used in computational geometry. I remember when I first discovered it, it drove home the point that choice of data structure can really matter - it ma…

PureScript isn't just for business logic at all - it has its own UI libraries, React bindings, DOM API bindings, and so on. It is more often used for front-ends than anything else …

It's a joke about Among Us.

Really nice. I tried something like this many years ago in Flash, but the results this can produce are far more impressive!

I don't know whether this is true or not, but either way, working with Haskell makes my job more enjoyable than if I was writing some other language anyway.

I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in the poster, but it's also perhaps worth noting that this came out of a survey, it wasn't just dreamed up by one person / a few people. (A t…

An advantage of using the most general signature possible is it restricts the things you can actually do with the values involved, which can make it easier to provide correct imple…

There's some work towards that in PureScript: https://github.com/kRITZCREEK/psc-ide provides an interface for multiple editors, seems like Atom, Emacs, Vim and VS are available cur…

The main advantage is when doing something like this is Haskell the code you pass around can't have arbitrary side effects, so you don't actually need to worry so much about where …

Perhaps no evidence was found because people from the future have seen this paper and therefore know not to reveal themselves this way!

There's a similar project from 2005, based on blog posts: http://www.wefeelfine.org

The exact quote from the linked BBC article is: "In the most serious crimes [such as] child abduction communications data... is absolutely vital. I love watching, as I probably sho…

Lifting for strength and lifting for large muscles are actually quite different. It is likely a huge bodybuilder type will be strong relative to the average person, but that's not …

The article has been amended: "Updated 11/19/2012@10:15am: AMD contacted us with an official denial of the story and stated that Kaveri and the big cores are still on track."

Certainly delete can be useful, but nulling a property has almost the same effect (apart from hasOwnProperty still returning true) - if you're looking at optimising at the level th…
