Nevertheless I heard (I should investigate this rumour) that being lazy enabled an easier integration of the IO system so there seems to be a connection between pure (i.e. side-effect free) and laziness.
Is it concerning that most Haskell optimization guides talk about adding ! to enforce evaluation? It may be a sign that pure functional programming is not quiet there in the real-time world (e.g. real-time rendering)…
Pretty nice. Writing a tetris clone targeting terminals is a fun endeavor and the easiest way to produce some moving graphics (besides Conway's Game of Life). It's also interesting to ignore curses and read and write…
Firefox@Ubuntu14. I think it works as intended by the designer it just irritates me that some images will stand still while scrolling.
Wow, again a page that messes with the scrolling experience? What's up with that? Terrible user experience.
What a crappy design. If I scroll down and there is an image, I have to scroll further (without visual indication) and then the text will float over. I have seen this design now on multiple pages, how is this called?…
It is true that there are systems (Lisp Machines, Oberon, Smalltalk, etc.) with a more integrated approach and there are great ideas, but what I meant with the term "IDE" is classic IDEs on Windows, Linux and OSX. These…
>A simple example is if I want to iterate through every item in a container, I'd like to just type 'for', tab, the first few letters of the container variable, tab, and have it all set up. Resharper does this, and will…
I had a look at the video and it really seams nice, but for me the cost (learning yet another tool, integrating it into your workflow, dependance on yet another big-size software project) is too high. The fancy stuff…
Cool tech, but ... I went to the About-Page and I got the following message out of it: "We all want to spend our time dooing meaningful things so we ... bla bla ... have to make an app for that". Come on, I think this…
Welcome to HN! Ruby is a good idea for webdev but keep in mind that Python is also dominant in other domains of computing in particular scripting and scientific computing. So in my opinion for a beginner Python is more…
Good news! I would like to add that another advantage of Python is its usage for scientific computing (Math, Physics, Biology, ...) so students hopefully choose Python to help solving problems for their math classes…
