The Haskell Unfolder Episode 14: higher-kinded types (well-typed.com)
In this episode, we are going to look at the common design pattern where we abstract all the fields of a record type over a type constructor which can then be instantiated to the identity to get the original record type back, but also to various other interesting type constructors. We are going to look at a few examples, and are...

Cabal-add: extend Cabal build-depends from the command line (discourse.haskell.org)
As discussed at Convenience in the Haskell ecosystem - #169, I’ve developed a small command-line tool to add build-depends. I tried a few examples and convinced myself that it’s robust enough, but would appreciate more user acceptance testing before I decide to clutter Hackage with one more package....

Defeating Return Type Polymorphism (philipphagenlocher.de)
This was already featured in the Weekly News a couple of weeks back, but I think maybe it deserves it’s own thread. I’ve tried to explain this approach to some people before, but I think this article does a much better job than I have....
Beyond the Limits of my GHC Knowledge (recurse.social)
