This would be a real game changer for me, from an internal marketing perspective and for personal use.

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Indentation#Explicit_c... Probably the simplest good example, gives rules for translating between styles

Just want to note that in Haskell, whitespace syntax _is_ syntactic sugar for brackets etc. I don't recall that being the case for python. Interesting tidbit, some of the big names…

One of the few roguelikes I use tiles on, and my first roguelike ever.

The recent popular ones (edit: assuming I am reading correctly which games you refer to) are all pretty much spinoff genres that borrow heavily from traditional roguelikes, but bre…

Typic

If you are a video game enthusiast, particularly of a niche genre, /vg/ can be a good place. I'm really into roguelikes, so I visit the '/rlg/' thread around once a week to see wha…

> checks and balances I tried not to smile at that, and I failed. Pretty sure nothing is 'checking' them from collecting data on every U.S. citizen.

Listed in no particular order: * Learning tools (they get in the way of solving the problem at the beginning imo) * Incomplete/inaccurate documentation * Not knowing what things ar…

Fully agree, with the minor exception that I'd say it's good for them to trigger a mental alarm. Lots of spin out there...

I was one of the people who didn't want to learn SQL/database stuff. What do you know, after a few years in the industry my interests lay heavily in serverside. I'd kick the old me…

There is, but this recommendation is specific to the triangle area: the rural trends just don't apply.

I lived in Durham from 10 to when I started college (travelling back during breaks etc), and I loved it. I agree with you on every point, the triangle is fantastic. Just to reitera…

With dependent types you can. I'm not aware of whether that proof is possible in Haskell, however. Besides, that's not what I was saying. What I was saying it that + in Haskell mea…

I think so, since you can also count on that type to implement the other required methods of Num.

Although I'm not as religious as I used to be, I still highly regard 'The Screwtape Letters'. CS Lewis is an excellent writer.

There's a big push towards the Language Server Protocol type tooling, I think that makes a noticeable difference in supporting personal preferences.

> There is nothing on this Earth worth doing which requires the processing power we now possess in our pockets. If you can't do it in 64Kb, I assure you, it isn't worth doing. BS. …

I do think obsessing about trivial things is harmful, but finding an editor you really like working with is very valuable. I was exposed to vim and had a really hard time working w…

My goodness, that is exciting. I can't believe I haven't heard that yet. That is (to use my most hated business speak) a true paradigm shift.

The guy has serious issues, I was shocked at how toxic he gets at the drop of a hat. I was browsing a discussion on the Haskell subreddit and he was incredibly nasty, literally zer…

Agree 100%. If you don't have explicit state transitions in a UI, you're asking for trouble. I think some people don't realize how much harder they make it on themselves by not set…

I take issue with some of Rich Hickey's technical opinions, but Datomic seems pretty cool. I knew Datalog has been around for a while, but had never looked into it further.

Don't worry, it'll be any day now.
