Yup, the Ian Knot and the Secure Knot (https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm) have taken over my household. The latter is particularly good for kids, who often learn the "bunny ears" method, but then switch to double-knotting and all the attendant untangling hassle.
Yes, Nix is totally viable. Steep learning curve, but many benefits.
Presumably etags/gtags/hasktags etc., ie. having built a TAGS database for such a helper program, you can use it in an editor to jump from a field name to its definition. That wouldn't be the case with a lens accessor.
I wrote a simple solution for this which is used in production at several businesses now: https://github.com/purcell/postgresql-migrations/
You can control which categories of ads will be displayed in your Adsense account settings. It shouldn't be necessary in a civilised world, of course, but there you go.
Author here. I answered this and other questions in discussions on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/8ye1h0/explaining_...
Author here. The blog is for my personal brand, because I often work independently, but I was employed full-time as lead architect for this venture.
Author here - thanks very much. That was what I was going for.
Check to see if the battery is swollen -- that happened a lot with those machines, and typically interfered with the trackpad click.
I had the Skerton. The Porlex Mini is better in every way.
Most people tend to automatically reflect back at others the emotions projected towards them: someone gets angry at you, and you get angry right back at him. Being able to notice this in the moment and sidestep the reaction is a learned skill.
On the opposite end of the scale, there are "sponges" who receive and absorb others' emotions unconditionally, as you describe. I've known many people like this, and many seem to develop unusual health issues -- but it's equally possible to notice this process in the moment and modulate it.
In both cases, practicing mindfulness meditation is the most direct way to develop the necessary skills.
Rewritten, not knowing anything more about you than the above:

A much more extensive article about this caper was published in Wired in 2012:
SEEKING WORK - Remote / Travel possible
Location: UK
Hugely experienced veteran of top consultancies like ThoughtWorks and many web start-ups in hands-on technical positions up to CTO level over the last 20 years. I help my clients plan and build ruthlessly effective software using the latest tools and high-quality thinking, and I help teams get better results.
I care more about creating value than about specific technologies, but I have particular technical expertise in Rails (core contributor), Linux, PostgreSQL, Clojure, React and all the usual front-end suspects. I’m regularly among the 100 most active worldwide contributors on Github.

This might indeed be a problem for Irish nationals, just as the "IR35" rules affect UK contractors working through limited companies, but I can't imagine that a non-national working outside Ireland through an Irish company would suddenly be considered resident in Ireland for tax purposes.
Mithril is a tremendous little framework, and Leo has done an exemplary job of writing it, documenting it and blogging about usage patterns and tricks. While declining frequent requests that he cram more functionality into its core, he takes the time to explain the trade-offs, showing a deep understanding of the problem space which gives me confidence to build upon his work. So thanks Leo!
Hopefully, in time, more people will realise the "zen" of mithril's minimal approach. In the meantime, interested readers can check out lichess.org, which recently rewrote its impressive UI using mithril.
I'd say the worst case is that it might encourage people to drive faster, if they assume that the app will warn them of speed traps.
It does: it links to the "multiple gunshot suicide" page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_gunshot_suicide
In my experience, stretches and foam roller are both ways to alleviate the discomfort, but they don't fix the underlying problem, which is related to running form and specific muscle weaknesses. When the gluteus medius is weak, or when the lower leg is rotated inwards slightly by the arch flattening, the IT band ends up under excessive tension, trying to keep everything in line. The long-term fix for me was to strengthen my feet to reduce pronation, to do lots of deep squats, and to focus on "firing" the glutes while running.
Bravo! This is the kind of uniquely developer-oriented innovation I've come to expect from Stripe.
Following an export, it'd be nice to have access to a trickle-feed of incremental updates in the form of SQL statements which could be applied to the downloaded SQLite DB -- then we could effectively have an offline source of truth, and we'd only really need to use the Stripe API for update purposes. The existing web hook mechanism would work well to deliver these incremental update statements.
I believe the point is that the neural net will still have preconceptions -- but the random wiring just means you've chosen to not see what they are.
Yes indeed, but with light and ultralight variants. A day later, and I'm still enjoying Input a lot.
Just the Mono family alone is excellent. There are a number of different weights available, each with italic and bold variants, and the repertoire of glyphs is extensive.
I enjoy condensed fonts like Pragmata Pro (which I highly recommend), and this appears to be one of the few viable alternatives I've seen. Merits a week-long test-drive, I think.

Don't forget Philip Greenspun!
I didn't say anything about Swift: rather, I was responding to the parent's overly general assertion.
Not only that, but the payment might end up being charged back up to 180 days (or even longer) later.
To be fair, learning a new language is a joke. It doesn't require a substantial investment of time.
I think that rather depends on the language and your past experience. Most programmers with experience in mainstream languages will indeed require a substantial investment of time to learn a radically different language like Haskell.
The author, Luke Gorrie, is a true hacker's hacker who built a good chunk of Emacs' Slime environment for Common Lisp. He ended up in Sweden to be part of the first successful Erlang-based business Bluetail, which got sold to Nortel IIRC.
(I imagine "Snabb" is closely related to "snappy" in English.)
At least xmonad starts with an "x". Alternatives like "ratpoison", "enlightenment", "metacity" or "sawfish" have names which are arguably even less meaningful to end users.
In my view there's really no tension between naming things after implementation details and giving them abstract unrelated names -- all that really matters in the long term is that a name is memorable, and memorable names can and do come from either approach.
