@haskman Reading another monad tutorial? How about running a monad emergency drill!

Oh ~~ffs~~ the irony...

@yurnidiot I wanted to order taco tablas, but the place had naan

@boilingsteam I'm salty because I'm sad. That thing could have been rocking some really cool shit.

@boilingsteam "Half-assing everything without giving it a second thought cited as Major Factor. Also, not giving a damn about platform strong sides and succumbing instead to bland nothing-unique-here marketing bullshit."

@LornaWoods @neil How the fuck one does balance *that*? Okay, let me try...

"On one hand we have a steaming pile of privacy breaches.
On the other hand we have a lumpy regulatory capture.
Both hands are stinky AF, a perfectly balanced symphony of rancid and acrid."

@ttuegel At least it has a chance to be inlined. SYB is slow however you slice it.

TFW a stationary bandit declares mobilization

@anubis2814 @cwebber OTOH for our insurance intake we've been asked... wait for it... Religion assigned at birth. Not the exact wording, but the choice presented made it that obvious. And this was a "genetic testing form". Yes, a genetics study with a questionaire, I shit you not.

@anubis2814 @cwebber They could've been asking the trans status directly, if they really up for it (which I doubt). No need to add the insult of "assigned at birth".

@ttuegel Actually, GHC Genetics are fast enough for automatic Storable instances. Almost no degradation from hand-rolled code without a chance for segfaults.

@ttuegel Thanks grace it didn't. That thing is **slow** slow.

@AlmightySnoo Thanks WSJ for rubbing in yet another cliche.

"The teens are running low on conformity pressure, let it be known then that it is fashionable to hate on the green."

@chris @peterdutoit @anuckols the companies that didn't went insolvent

@mangoiv Neat report. How to get one like that?

@Axman6 I like how I can go from that article to "series of tubes", then to "information superhighway" and onwards to "cyberspace" 🏄‍♀️

@Axman6 Yeah, the "Dumb pipe" sub-discipline of it.

@Axman6 Reminds me about how some internet tube providers wanted to force Google and Netflix to pay extra for making users actually using* the tubes.

I.e. keeping utilization at above 1%.

@flora_pm What are namespaces? I see "@haskell" and "@hackage" in there. Are there any others? Who can create one?
