    Author here: yeah the end result is that you wouldn’t actually want to do it in practice. Who wants to build a load of linear algebra into GHC, after all? But it was pleasing to sh…

    I think something that's probably under appreciated if you don't read/write Kanji– bad penmanship is incredibly hard to read due to the complexity of the characters. Good penmanshi…

    Author here: I think you are projecting quite a bit. We do in fact hire a lot of people who maintain things, and even pay quite a lot for OSS development on things like the compile…

    Author here: I have a bunch of drafts that I haven't gotten around to publishing for quite some time, and I'm on parental leave, which affords me a little more time than usual to g…

    author here: I'm not really sure why you'd say that OpenAPI isn't a JSON Schema document: there are published JSON Schema files on the official OpenAPI website. See for example: On…

    I've been trying `beads` out for some projects, in tandem with https://github.com/github/spec-kit with pretty good results. I set up spec-kit first, then updated its templates to t…

    To be fair, I absolutely would take ocean liners for this purpose if such a thing existed. The closest that you can get on this front is basically seasonal route switches for cruis…

    I mean this nicely, I don't really feel like anything on the landing page besides one paragraph is actually helpful to readers understanding what problem you're trying to solve. I …

    I lost my 3 1/2 year old daughter to sudden illness several months ago. So many dreams left our family that day. Now it is up to those of us left behind to pick up the pieces.
