My town has bike lanes, why shouldn't I be able to use them?

Right, but pseudo-randomness is still monadic because you are mutating the state of the random number generator. That it is in IO is an implementation detail of where that generator's state lives.

It's been a little while since I worked with Haskell but I'll surprised if nobody ported e.g. Mersenne Twister to it, complete with its own Random monad. If not, maybe that could be a new project...

Does it matter that non of Sierra's games would appeal to a 'mainstream audience', either? Back then, the audience was different. I'm not sure there were enough of us to even call us 'mainstream', even.

Now, everyone under the sun is playing games. There are more gore-only gamers now than there were total gamers back then.

There are still plenty of games in the style of Sierra's... It's just that that same limited audience isn't the loudest voice any more.

Seriously though, this is a problem I think a lot about. One solution that keeps popping up in my head is implemented in an OS forum somewhere (don't recall specifics), so that each comment can be marked as informative/funny/shocking/etc instead of mere upvotes.

Isn't this a product of long commutes and sedentary living? There are only three times when I feel compelled to use my smartphone:

* When in a train/bus/car
* When I need directions
* When I feel like a game of chess

Further to this, my smartphone is also useful for:

* It's alarm clock
* Looking up facts over discussions away from home/office

I noticed my need for a smartphone dropped dramatically when I stopped commuting. I don't have push email (on purpose) and so I don't check email every time it beeps. After a month of this, I lost the automatic urge to check email.

I would do without a smartphone except for the maps function. I could buy a dedicated GPS, but the additional features, having web access anywhere, chess (trivial), alarm, push the smartphone ahead.

Eclipse lets you expand your selection to ever increasing expressions in Java and back again (Shift-Alt-Up/Down). Press up often enough, and you end up selecting the entire outer class, and after that the entire file. Press down and you get back right where you started.

It's super useful, particularly for understanding and refactoring old code. In fact it makes refactoring very enjoyable, almost game like. It seems as if that Eclipse feature is a pale shadow of vim text objects.

At least this time around SMH have apparently understood the situation and called out First State Super.

Also; NSW Police said it was not taking any further action on this matter. "There was no criminal offence committed and the company in question has been informed of the outcome. It was more a case of a civic-minded person reporting a potential security breach."

I 100% agree that the government should handle these situations, unfortunately the closest thing we have is The Privacy Commission - which is completely toothless.

No - it is not the same. That was one manufacturer - this is everyone of them. With Apple, what you were looking at was a single, vertically integrated walled garden, that was never even the playing ground for DIY.

For many in the west, DIY is synonymous with "enthusiast". But here in Asia/India, a very VERY significant percentage of the total PC market is held by "unbranded" PCs - about 45% (ref: http://trak.in/tags/business/2011/05/17/top-pc-compnies-indi... ).

This is so relevant to the Indian market that it is almost scary. As a yardstick - for a fresh hire in India's largest tech employer, Infosys, buying a Macbook is almost 6 months salary. Buying an unbranded PC running Linux is about a month and a half salary.

Secondly, your assertion that motherboard sales wont be affected is wrong. The push to implement this is piracy and not marketing - which means Microsoft (and not the end users) will be the driving force behind the push to certify motherboards.

So you think all internet comments need to be read in order to learn something?

Do you also believe that employers should spend a few days with each applicant before making a hiring decision? Would Amazon be better without product ratings? You could apply your argument to this situation and say that Amazon is better off without ratings because the best products may not get rated.

Services like Google, Reddit, Facebook, and Amazon owe much of their tremendous success to the fact that they provide users with effective screening mechanisms for the internet. We all benefit from lower information processing costs.
A lot of the second-hand computers go to charities, and end up in schools of developing countries, etc. These are often places that wouldn't be able to afford computers otherwise.

On long term, the people who learn computing this way may be a market for new computers, and that makes it good for computer manufacturers.

Besides that, computers in a landfill is a terrible idea, ecology-wise.

Well, that's a shame. You're a smart commentor on here and seem like a decent guy, so I'd enjoy you reading my site if there was value in it for you.

Alas though, I can't take random delete requests because a point was controversial. I certainly overstepped my bounds with that post and publicly apologized, and also offered to Patrick - and him alone - that I'd take it down if he preferred. He didn't ask me to, so I didn't.

I wrote a long reply here with my thoughts and lessons -

http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/lessons-learned-from-a-fire...

And, of course I can't just delete a post because someone is offended, or we'd never discuss anything controversial.

Haskell is the first language I was ever fluent in. These days I mostly work in python and erlang with a smattering of ocaml but learning haskell had a huge influence on the way I think about software.

I find it hard to articulate the ideas that I came away with. Something like 'code should be built out of small, composable abstractions that obey simple algebraic laws'. It's incredible how powerful this is in combination with pure code (which enables easier composition and algebraic reasoning), typeclasses (which make it easy to express the interface to an abstraction) and quickcheck/smallcheck (which make it easy to express and test the laws which the abstraction should obey).

Others have written about this more clearly than I ever could. In particular, Conol Elliot's writing on denotational semantics [1] and Chris Okasaki's Purely Functional Datastructures [2].

The haskell community tends to be dominated by academic research so it's easy to dismiss the typical examples as impractical. Right now I'm trying to apply the same ideas to Kademlia routing in erl-telehash [3]. Hopefully I will eventually be able to demonstrate what I struggle to articulate.

Citigroup CEO’s personal data raided by hackers
While this is a good thing my immediate concern is that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

The good side is that it will help him understand how coders working under him operate and that's great, but I'm not sure it's the most efficient way to get that knowledge. Simply listening to them (and their managers / team leads), maybe reading a couple of books on the subject would allow him to understand that in a way a bit of hobby programming simply won't.

The downside is that the lessons you learn as a beginner don't automatically scale to larger projects of the sort his development team(s) are working on. I've seen a business analysts who could code a bit, or managers with outdated skills, sell a development team down the river making assumptions based on what they think they know.

So yes it's good, but it's good with caveats.

Knowing how to develop is correlated with being a good manager of developers but it's not the only way to get some of the skills you need and, at this point in his career, it may not be the best way and certainly won't teach him everything he needs to know.

First, the title annoys me: "Why not X?" is almost always the wrong question to ask, because it implies that X is so great that don't even need a reason to use it. If you want me on board, the relevant question is "Why X?".

Second, A resulting correct Haskell program is likely more reliable, maintainable, and perhaps faster seems fallacious to me. It might as well be that because Haskell is hard, only people with a deep understanding and appreciation of computer science ever venture into it. So, in other words, Haskell programs are good because they're written by very bright people thinking very hard about what they are doing. The same reason old mainframe code works well and average PHP doesn't.
There have been many changes to both the Go language and the stdlib, but it is really easy to keep your code updated (specially since gofix was introduced: http://blog.golang.org/2011/04/introducing-gofix.html ) so this should not be an obstacle to learning the language.

That said, version "1" of the language is due for early next year, which should provide a long-term stable language and set of libraries, for details see:

30+ 404 Page Design Inspiration
404 Error Page is very important for any website, as it shows up when user tries to open a page and the link is broken or moved or may be it has never existed and reader has ended up at a wrong page…..this is when 404 error page is required. If user lands up at such a place, he should be guided to what he was looking for or how he can go back, else he might go away from the page and will never come back. So for this reason your 404 page should be creative and functional both. Sometimes web designer or developer, cannot control the cause of error page, but can minimize the damages by using a custom Error 404 page.
A little video that gives you the feeling of this, without the personalization:

> My current opinion as to what would constitute a perfect language is: something built on top of Haskell which would, in some as-yet-unconceived-of way, make it easy to thread mutable state exactly where it needed to go in your code.

What's the difference between that and an imperative language?
I just went to the website that did the test, and found that they currently have two buttons: "Try Demo for Free" and "Plans and Pricing", not just the "Try Demo for Free" button as in the winning test.

This makes sense to me - as a matter of fact, while reading the post I was thinking that before trying a demo I usually check the price I would have to pay in the end - but I wonder why this variation wasn't talked about in the article. "Plans and Pricing" isn't a call to action, but having that second button is for sure different than having just one and knowing which clickthrough it gives would be very relevant.
Yes, there is a way by rewriting (not redirect) the url.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /index.php/$1

I didn't test it, but it's probably as simple as that.

But that's not what I meant. Instead of having index.php look at the url parameters and include the proper controller, just directly execute that controllers .php file. Make a file that you include in each controller that does any prep work you need and that's it, let apache execute the controller directly.

In case anyone finds this interesting (as it is so glaringly apropos to this "Buy Now" blog post): I ran an A/B test recently of "Buy Now" vs "Purchase" (which is a drastically different and more subtle question than comparing whether people want to install a demo vs. make a purchase), and found almost no difference.

Unfortunately, due to the usage of a multi-armed bandit algorithm (which attempts to "exploit" already learned knowledge to not lose sales during the test), my data is somewhat "skewed" (in that I have an order of magnitude more tests for one of the hypotheses), but here are the raw results:

"Purchase": 35,715 sales from 3,255,882 impressions (1.097%)

"Buy Now": 4,042 sales from 376,227 impressions (1.074%)

If you compare the confidence interfaces with a Beta distribution it is difficult to feel comfortable claiming Purchase is a winner, but that small benefit is why the algorithm kept trying to use it over the other case. Put differently: despite the large sample, I believe that tiny difference is not statistically significant.

(Additionally, for completeness, and as this is important for anyone who might care about this experiment: my app had previously said "Purchase", so there are likely guides online that tell the user how to buy things, or people may have had memories, which may have caused "Buy Now" to be ever so slightly more confusing.)
