The advice to just get an LLC going first then convert to a C corp is fine for their stage, I won't argue against it. However, what you're saying in opposition to forming a C corp …

Getting into an accelerator or incubator (even if it's one that's not popular) can really help with the legal stuff since you'll be able to get more advice and they will always hav…

The point went over your head, in any failed dynamic there are always mistakes made on both sides. I'm trying to encourage her to think deeper (not write) about it beyond not catch…

It's glossed over because it requires more than a single party to represent the "story" in a fair light and it would unprofessional for her to write about her biased emotional expe…

I experienced a co-founder split not too long ago and I can definitely tell you from my personal introspection that you may need to look deeper than "it was my fault for not seeing…

It's funny, strong type systems are really about explicit documentation. I'm sure the comments are good but translating a spec into Haskell types is a form of strong and explicit d…

"Raise your rates" is excellent advice and, OP, you may or may not understand that it's actually more about psychology. Higher rates help filter out demanding clients and also make…

Once you've learned Haskell, actually, you can be far more productive in it than most other languages. The only piece of your statement that I'll agree with is that Haskell doesn't…

Well, that project, Q just doesn't even share the same thesis of Haxl. At all. Two completely different projects, Q couldn't be used for what Haxl is intended. If you had posted th…

Which bodes extremely well for them. They may quickly become the PayPal of bitcoin for providing a solid service allowing businesses to interface with BTC; as PayPal did for giving…

You can do "kind of" dependent types in Haskell too but it's an ugly mess (like trying to do it in Scala). Idris handles it really well for general programming tasks.

To each his own. I rarely hear fluent Haskellers say they don't care for the syntax though; if you haven't really gotten far enough to write production code in Haskell that leverag…

You obviously don't understand what Haxl is for.

Yeah, in the future don't delete your comment unless you've been convinced that you really were being a troll or asshole. Stimulating discussion is what makes this site great and d…

It's really amusing to me that FreeBSD Jails have existed for quite some time already. I think the novelty though is "shared configurations" and shareable environments that are not…

Yeah I'm aware of Chicago Boss and have used it, but like most "frameworks" websockets are bolted on and you have to write special handlers for them. I have yet to see frameworks o…

So, it's a web framework that receives route requests and sends responses over a WebSocket / Comet connection? I've had a similar idea for something in Haskell and it's cool to see…

Not wasting but you'll think you're a functional programmer, hit Haskell, then realize you were barely a functional programmer. I used to feel as you did, until I started thinking …

Someone told me this: with Haskell you end up reading a lot more up-front than you do "playing around" up-front. The reason for this is the type system which can feel like a straig…

I'll second FPComplete - a lot of people seem to glom really well onto their web-based IDE.

Hipchat runs smoother than XChat for you? That's a first. Hipchat isn't bad but I vastly prefer IRC, particularly with a good IRC bot.

Yeah, if you ever get a chance to build something for production in Haskell / Scala / OCaml you'll realize how little even Go (which is better than Python and Ruby!) does for you. …

I do not consider Go to have a strong type system. It's static though. Strong typing allows you to do a lot and it also solves the problem we fallible humans bring to the table. Hu…

It's the difference between Eclipse and Emacs. Haskell actually encourages "internalization" of abstractions through terser syntax. Emacs is like that, you internalize the editor w…

I'm undoubtedly a Haskell convert (from Erlang / Scheme / Python) with little experience in Go. The investment is pretty big, yes, but I also believe it is great from a commercial …
