I already have ghc-7.6.3 installed and up to date cabal. What do I get by installing haskell-platform that I don't have right now? AFAIU Haskell Platform is just a vetted list of p…

Then you'll need to track exact value of food each employee spent, send them invoice and pay them the same amount each month to cover that amount. I can't see how that can be simpl…

Why would someone else's flag affect my front page?

No, it won't. It says that my HTC Desire running 2.3 is not supported.

Well, Dalvik is not a speed deamon. I don't have any benchmarks on actual phone hardware available, but I can guess that javascript code will not run much slower on phone hardware …

If I had Google Glass I would use it to make some quick money and sell it immediately.

You already have that in Javaland. It's called maven, and it allows you to change one number in one file to upgrade the dependency version. Clojure also has that with Leiningen.

There is unflag option where you can unflag your own flag, but it doesn't counter other peoples flags, IIRC. I'm not sure about that now, since flag right has been removed from my …

> If no one agreed with them then theirs would be the only flag and there would be no effect. If several people agreed then there would be several flags, and that's what appears to…

Because noone can order anyone at Google to work on anything except what he likes to?

Just to be clear, paying little or no taxes is only government fail to collect them. It has nothing to do with responsibilities. There is no law in the world that forces anyone to …

Because PayPal is the only one that actually works in 150+ countries worldwide. No service offering US or US+CA+UK only service could compete with PayPal effectively, even if it we…

How is this different from what "git --diff" provides out of the box for .docx documents?

Because it might be the best option for a next few years? I'm not saying it is, but some people did a right choice "locking" themselves to Adobe-only infrastructure (Flash), Apple-…

Javascript / Dart?

Sentence containing only word 'this' is automatic down vote when I see it on HN. Even +1 adds more value IMHO.

> Doing a proper "compile newer version of GCC, then recompile GCC with it, then recompile GCC again" voodoo is just tiresome after the first time. Yes you may lose some performanc…

Well, without a caveat the advice is plain wrong in 99% cases, since that caveat changes the advice completely.

First advice is horrible. One shouldn't do in application things that are meant to be done in (relational) database, like ordering, grouping, joining... I guess 66% of my applicati…

> Really? Yesod is the anti-haskell haskell framework. Can you please elaborate. Being interested in Haskel web development and trying to choose web framework makes me wish for mor…

I hope google, facebook, hacker news and other web sites would start shutting down at least half of their servers during the night. And, when I say night, I mean night anywhere on …

"Fly, you fools!"

I hate to read that "one caffeine fueled weekend later ..." in a story like this. Is a weekend the only time one is allowed to commit fundamental code changes to the project? Is a …

The only reason to root my old HTC Desire that I still use happily was to be able to uninstall Facebook, Weather, Twitter and a few more apps I didn't need. Needless to say, the ph…
