    Same in the Netherlands. Postcode and house number is unique and enough to deliver mail. I usually write the return address that way.

    Does anyone else find this article unreadable? It sounds more like a marketing piece than an explanation of what merge queue is.

    It is worth noting that according to a (Dutch language) article I read this morning, 90% of the listings that were removed had not been booked in the last year according to an Airb…

    I was confused as well. I think (from some other comments) that the issue is that you can scroll to text that is specific to you and others might not have on their page (e.g. 'canc…

    And yet you provide none. What do you base this on?

    It isn't, I don't understand where this comment comes from. You can derive the entire thing without writing a line of parsing code.

    Haskell type classes by default pick the implementation based on a single type variable in its signature, but it can occur in multiple positions (including the return type). A comm…

    The thing is, you're focusing on when you've detected that there is an issue (a crash). A lot of the issues with NULL are the fact that you can't easily detect if beforehand. It's …

    Interesting, it doesn't seem to work here because my employer's VPN blocks the torrents.

    The interesting thing is that he thanks PayPal for their help in this case.

    I feel like this is a false dichotomy: you can have a fast iteration cycle, and have statically checked guarantees. I've worked in Haskell for 7 years and had exactly this. I could…

    Does anyone have the list of affected apps? It doesn't seem to be in the original blog post.

    If I understand correctly, the point is not raising IPC necessarily, it's finding what to optimize. If you have low IPC, optimize for memory access. If you have high IPC, optimize …

    I haven't read the linked report, but I'm guessing that's mostly industrial usage? From anecdotal evidence of the people I know (which is also biased), most consumer electricity is…

    It's interesting how different people's preludes are. We have a custom prelude at work, and things that it has that this one doesn't: * Time types and functions. * Overloaded (.) a…
