Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, near Lisbon. But which work of science fiction (or is it weird fiction?) am I thinking of? The author mentions that this was a significant source of inspiration.

Someone who knows #Haskell and ML: is there a writeup somewhere explaining how first-class modules (a la ML) can do similar things to Haskell type classes? I'm finding it hard to figure that out.

To give a more concrete case: suppose I wanted to write something like Control.Applicative, which provides an 'interface' Applicative with some methods, as well as functions that work for any Applicative. How would I do this with ML-style first-class modules?

Video of the interview with #guix founder @civodul is available. A great chat about the #nix deployment model, his interested in #guile and #free software. Lots of interesting chat about motivation in #freesoftware, #gnu and #linux - as well as the Plan9-ification of Guix!!

Is there such a thing as a basic AM/FM tuner that you can plug in to a USB-C port? Watching a little bit of info about disaster preparedness, sometimes internet goes down but terrestrial radio is available. I'd love to have a little gadget that could let me pop in my airpods and receive a local radio signal, but … this does not appear to exist, which seems weird

What is the current state of #GNUnet?

I ask because the handbook opens by saying it is still an active research project and not production-ready yet. However, it seems to be having many mature components used by other projects and startups.

#vscode users, https://stackoverflow.com/a/60718756/84401 makes your function headers (or #haskell function type signatures) bold for easier reading.

Saw someone hyperventilating over LLMs “passing the mirror test”, so …

TL;DR This short program “recognises itself”: show it a file containing its own source code and it will print “This is me!”

Underwhelmed? You should be! But I did have to type a lot of backslashes.

Now that every PC and their dog has had USB-C/USB3 ports for a while It is strange that we can’t use it for direct connection easily and still have to bounce link off some noisy channel first.

Like, come on, the devices are sitting next to each other. With a single symmetric cable we could be having secure 5Gb+ connections right away! :blobcathyper:

Not sure why trailing commas aren't more common in programming languages and formats. Does it make the parser simpler? Can't imagine. (current example: #haskell)

My, the times are fast now. It’s been only a year, and we already have the art style of vintage neural images.

Software Transactional Memory: #Clojure vs. #Haskell

New post! Comparing these was a lot of fun. Shoutout to @plexus for the inspiration with the concurrency problem.

Haskell Interlude 36 - John Hughes (haskell.foundation)

In this episode, Matti and Wouter are joined by John Hughes. John is one of the authors of the original Haskell Report and talks about why functional programming matters, the origins of QuickCheck testing, and how higher order functions and lazy evaluation is the key that makes functional programming so productive, and so much...

I should write a huge text about how #Haskell is a great language and is getting better all the time.
Just to dilute the stream of negativity constantly appearing on feeds.

Maybe you should too.

Gosh, I sometimes hate that the LSPs are a thing now. People really like to dunk on #Haskell and its “toolchain” for LSP deficiencies.

Come on, people, this stuff is barely mature by itself.

And you really can do without it.

It is ridiculous how “agile” means “mandatory synchronous reading out loud microblog posts that nobody did write in advance”.

Should’ve stopped with just the “microblog” part.
