CircuitHub founder here. Most fab by order volume is in the US, but for now, at least, we do have to source some fab from overseas for various reasons.

This would be super interesting as an open-core company. In particular, we would want direct access to the underlying SQL database and the ability to customize the code directly.

Interesting to see exponential growth in NixOS github stars https://star-history.com/#NixOS/nixpkgs&Date . Perhaps the user base is reaching a tipping point where there will be the…

Currently running our corporate VPN on Wireguard, would highly recommend. Wiretrustee looks like a very useful featurset on top of Wireguard, nice work.

At CircuitHub we use NixOS on embedded devices, x86 though. I know of a few other commercial embedded users. Works great.

Very useful feature. KiCAD is rapidly becoming feasible for use in a professional setting.

To your original point. Broadly I would say Europe creates enormous value. Which is then captured by the US. DeepMind being a good example.

AI = DeepMind Cypto = Switzerland basically the home of crypto if it has one VR = Improbable. Multi $B from softbank Robots = Europe is far ahead of the US in robotics, ABB / Unive…

Our startup runs on Haskell. I was worried about this initially but in practice finding great Haskell developers has been no more or less difficult than finding great developers in…

Looks really useful, looking forward to checking out the NS integration.

I'm a longtime Ubuntu user and recently gave NixOS a try as most of our team use it. I have to admit I was highly skeptical as it all looks very complicated. The learning curve was…

We use Nix for all our developer tooling at CircuitHub. It's not the easiest thing to get into - but once you do - it solves so many problems! Great to see a large company like Sho…

Here's a good selection of research papers https://www.bioshumanlight.com/research/ . It seems like there might be some adverse effect due to the peak at the lower end of the blue …

CircuitHub (a company I co-founded) and Habito (UK mortgage broker) stand out in my head as startups (in the PG sense of the word http://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html ) that use p…

That would be an interesting question to answer. I know of a few rapidly growing companies using Haskell that compete directly with non-Haskell companies. We'll have to see how thi…

I have not used directly but this does look like a very impressive project.

We definitely could have built our product using more mainstream languages. I wouldn't, however, say we required a team of wizards, just good developers that prefer to work in Hask…

I don't see any claim in that article about everything being subjective, it's very specifically about programming languages. I would argue that programming languages are subjective…

I think this is an important point actually. Programming languages (at least in the context being discussed) are just a means to model a problem domain. Some people find it easier …

Maybe try contributing to a large Haskell codebase first to get a feel for what Haskell is like in in-the-large and gain some comfort. I'll add this problem is not at all Haskell s…

As a counterpoint - at CircuitHub, we migrated from NodeJS / Angular to Haskell / Elm and couldn't be happier. I think a core reason for our success is that we built our team from …

Anybody got experience in UK vs Estonia? I have lived and run companies in the UK and USA. The UK is light years ahead of the US in terms of all online interactions with the govern…
