It has been proven that you can express certain things with ML-style functors that are difficult or impossible to express with standard Haskell-style type classes. But almost everybody uses GHC and turns on lots of type system extensions in their projects, which is going to make the issue a lot murkier, and on top of that ML-style functors require a bit more finger work and explicitness. Ultimately, it's going to come down to preference.

They're roughly equivalent the way Python and Ruby are roughly equivalent, or Common Lisp and Scheme. From any other linguistic paradigm, yeah, they're extremely close. But from one to the other, it feels like there is a tremendous gulf.

A lot of the benefits tmhedberg is talking about come from I/O being a monad in Haskell and the lack of "assignables," which constrains your ability to mix side-effects and state changes with pure code. Of course, you can defeat it if you really try (MVars and unsafePerformIO) but it's not the kind of thing you would do accidentally. And you could achieve a lot of the same benefits in OCaml by writing monadic standard libraries and never using refs.

So, if by "expressive" you mean the type system allows you to express complex relationships, Haskell is more expressive. But if by "expressive" you mean the language allows you to express calculations in more ways, OCaml is more expressive. In my experience, "expressiveness" is usually a foil for some other attribute and doesn't usually illuminate the debate much.

In the end, they're just tools, albeit with overlapping purposes. OCaml is easier to learn and compiles faster, Haskell raises your confidence in the code and has cooler tricks. Both are fascinating and stunningly better than lots of other options. If I had to choose which one to learn today, I'd look at some example code in both and ask myself which one I want to be staring at for the next six months.
Does anyone else find it annoying/disconcerting the amount of time spent in the article describing what reddit is? If reddit truly is "one of the largest communities on the Internet" and wired is a technology magazine then is that necessary? Where do they stop? "Erwin was using a computer, kind of likea type-writer with a T.V. attached to it, probably not dis-similar to the thing you're using now to read this article"
I agree. It is good to be skeptical - as they say extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Experts are trained to be skeptical. I am not saying that video may not be a fake but I am also equally skeptical about all the expert opinion on the impossibility of it all. And that is because experts have a long tradition of often being dead wrong about what is possible. Lord Kelvin - who was England's top scientist and President of the Royal Society flatly stated in 1895 that "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible" - just a decade before he was proven wrong.
There are many more similar examples in the history of progress. It is a good thing inventors also have a long tradition - of ignoring experts and just trying to achieve what has been claimed as impossible.
Interesting article. The power of an idea catching on is possible through the internet. It is amazing how many shows and artists were found on YouTube. It says in the article the site's founders originally created phony accounts and posted stuff in the beginning. I wonder how many big companies did that and if any of you know the rules of it. I am happy my community is getting real people to join since it feels more authentic. You can see http://www.willlisten.com
Your software should tell the user what it's going to do on each step before actually asking the user for permission and then doing it (it's not clear that it's an installer in the dmg, and that it's taking my email address to create an account and install a daemon and thingy on the menubar.

I like minimalism as much as anyone, but some basic info would make it a lot easier to trust (and thus recommend).

I actually called his office last week trying to speak with him. Some of the best venture capitalists took my calls to give some great suggestions and feedback. One was an original investor in WebMD and another was a very big in the venture world. I even had a discussion with Alan Patricof's office since Alan's son and I were friends since childhood. I used to hang out at their house before Bill Clinton did. I also lived across from another rug dealer who did pretty well. His name was Tom Freston and for those of you who are kind of young, he was the main guy at MTV a long time ago. I set a meeting with MTV just by calling him up and persisting. You never know what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. It doesn't matter if your a rug dealer, have a PHD, or were homeless. My motto is to keep going and to never stop no matter what!

Of course benchmarking is essential, but the Control.Parallel library can decouple expressions to run in parallel (called sparks) from threads, and manages the whole shebang for you. You more-or-less say x `pseq` y and it will try to evaluate them in separate threads if possible. The RTS statistics will tell you how many sparks got "converted" to run on another CPU and whatnot, so you can compare and see if you actually got an improvement, but it is a bit easier than spinning up dedicated threads, assuming you're parallelizing pure computations. For true concurrency, you still need to deal with threads.
So I did a little poking around:

I can't find any reliable mention of Jarno Smeets on the web before May 2011.

His blog, his domain, his Twitter and YouTube accounts all seem to have started about June of last year.

His Linkedin lists some plausible employment for a mechanical engineer, but comparing his userid to mine, that account hasn't been around too long either.

The Biomechanics professor he interviews in the video seems legit: http://www.kalons.nl/otten/ http://www.rug.nl/corporate/nieuws/opinie/2011/opinie29_2011... But the professor only speaks in general terms about the requirements for flight and is never seen again in the building or the testing videos.

Perhaps someone could check his Facebook. Does FB say when he signed up for that?

None of this is completely incriminating of course but sadly it does fit the pattern of an ad agency project.
I started a little catering business on the side. Italian and French cooking is a passion of mine, and I had this plan of starting a catering business. While it is a fun side project, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't want to do it fulltime. I can live with the pay cut if you're doing something that you love, but after a while you kind of miss using your brain instead of your hands. The upside is that you're directly in contact with your customers, which is refreshing after building web apps for people you never meet in person. Very rewarding to see and hear that they are happy with something you've made.

Occasionally I do a catering gig, so it's more like a nice, paid hobby.

On a side note, if you're looking for a stress-free job, don't do anything that has to do with restaurants or catering. It's like juggling six flaming torches in one hand while being yelled at.

Louis has a hit cable tv show, a deal for a network show on CBS and whenever almost any comedian is asked what other comedians they like are they usually reply in some form of "Louis, of course". Any fan of stand up comedy has at least heard of him.

A while back i pirated a bunch of old episodes of This American Life so i could listen to them on my commute/long runs. The episodes were available to stream from the website, but (at the time) i was unable to do that on the go. So I torrented them... and then i donated $100 to the program. Listening to the radio shows was only really practical when i was commuting and it turned me into a huge fan. Now i donate regularly, if it wasn't for bitorrent I'm not sure that would be the case. Nowadays i have a smartphone and there is a TAL app that lets you download episodes for 'offline' listening. So i probably wouldn't do it that way again, but still bitorrent provided an extremely valuable service to me, and i think it also provided a good service to TAL.
Their solution seems to be that the government should fund the expensive part of drug development.

That sounds like a terrible idea though: now you'll have the govt "picking winners" that can go to market. As with anything in the government, that will be subject to tons of lobbying, earmarking, waste, and endless debate.

But if you think about it, Pharma drugs are actually similar to SW or movies or music. In each of those, a large investment produces a good which is cheap to replicate (knowledge of efficacy/safety of a compound, or in SW / movies / music, bits arranged a certain way).

Each of these need protection on the investment to create it, so that there can be a return.

In SW, music, and movies/etc, that protection is essentially copyright law.

The only difference with Pharma is that copyright law doesn't buy them anything. So they need some other mechanism of protection.

Maybe it doesn't have to be a patent: how about an exclusive government license to sell a pharmaceutical tied to the FDA approval. Kind of like a pharmaceutical-specific patent.

The key is that financing still happens via private means, and there isn't a fixed quota of budget or # of drugs... Let the market decide the right amount for our society to spend on drugs.

The government should step in when there is a market failure (e.g. unpriced externalities, or tragedy-of-the-commons, etc). But just the fact that there's a large investment that needs protection for an ROI isn't a market failure.

Comparison: This looks like an automated desktop version of MediaFire/MegaUpload/YouSendIt, since right now it works by downloading from an intermediary (I assume, from what tashmahalic said: "You run it, it downloads your files"). It has advantages in being ad-free (for now at least), supporting unlimited sizes (ditto), auto-resume, return receipts, and encryption (though I suspect some of the existing sites may have these too).

It'll still be a winner if it provides a better user experience than the others, of course. When it goes fully p2p, it may become the killer p2p file transfer app that the world's been waiting for.* Good luck.

I think two accounts is pretty common even outside geekdom. Lots of non-techies have gmail as their personal email (even my parents do). And lots of companies and schools are using Google apps for business email.

The intersection of the two must include a reasonable number of non-techies...

Agree with the rest of your point too, it is really strange that you literally can't get support on google products, even if you pay for them as a business.

What is wrong with words?
Very true. There are so many tens of thousands of people that think they can write movies that writing a great script is only part of the equation in getting a deal. Getting the right person to read it--or really, getting anyone that matters to read it--is just as hard as writing that great script in many ways.

And then, after you make that one in a million deal off some crazy-good pitch to the right executive, there's no guarantee that it will ever get shot. There are many writers in hollywood that have sold dozens of scripts and only ever had one or two get produced.

Are we seriously discussing a benchmark that only runs 1000 operations? I don't even understand how it could take 20s to complete in any language on the server side and be correct code. Implement the Redis protocol and use the included redis-benchmark to test your server. On a decent Mac you should be able to hit 500k/s with pipelining and 25k/s without it.

I had no idea the carpet stores in downtown Palo Alto ever sold actual carpets; I've never seen anyone in any of them. I guess when you sell a product which appreciates with time (like wine) and where each item is both high margin and high price, they don't need a lot of traffic -- plus the "showing at your home" thing.

(I picked up a bunch of nice Qom and Afghani carpets when I was in Afghanistan. Kind of amazing to get 80-100 year old wool carpets in such good condition. I'm more in the $100-500 range vs. the $5-20k US retail price range. The thing I really want is an Afghan fortress door turned into a conference table -- one of the stores in downtown Kabul has a branch in Los Angeles run by the guy's brother, so it didn't seem worth trying to arrange shipment myself.)

There is an absurd number of them. It used to feel like a quarter of al the stores on University were selling rugs.

I just assume that stores I can't explain are fronts for something.

A few years ago I was in Montreal and commented on the presence of what seemed like an extraordinarily large number of stores selling Persian rugs. I was told -- completely sincerely, as far as I could tell -- that they were fronts for drug smuggling, since the rugs were bulky enough to hide things in and expensive enough that customs agents wouldn't start slicing them open on the basis of drug dogs alone.

I'm still not sure if there was any truth to that story or if it was just xenophobia speaking.
I've honestly tried hard to understand the other side, but no, I cannot. First of all, I don't see what gives you the moral prerogative to make that choice for a woman. Secondly, I don't believe it's a human being yet (we're not talking the 38th week here). If my mother had an abortion I would not be dead right now, I would have never existed at all. I would be a non-event. And I'm fine with that.

On the flip side, how about contraceptives? If removing a fetus after 4 weeks is murder, how about birth control pills? Or emergency contraception pills? Arguably, they kill as well?

I guess it's peer-to-peer, not peers-to-peers, that means you can send/get files to/from one endpoint, not from multiple endpoints. It is kind of a private file-sharing tool, not a public one such as bittorrent. Just guess, it would be better confirmed by the OP.
This comparison is rather unfair on C, where you have chosen to use a low level interface, against Go, where you have chosen to use a high level interface. It is irrelevant that these are the default interfaces - high level interfaces for sockets exist in C. You could even integrate into Nginx.

Robots are better at specialized, repeatable tasks. In Kiva's case, they developed robots that interact with exclusively pods, not the warehouse items themselves.

Creating a grasping robot that can recognize, lift and efficiently pack the thousands of different objects in the warehouse is a very hard problem. Robots would have to be prepared for every possible item, orientation and configuration while doing the packing. Plus, warehouses get completely new products all the time, which would require training updates. (Or just strong AI).

The coordinated movement of square pods in a grid system is super cool and complicated looking, but it's much easier than all the object recognition and manipulation tasks we take for granted.
I immediately disregard anyone that doesn't show their benchmarks running for any amount of time that would reasonably be used in production.

I have absolutely no problem with letting my stuff fire requests off on 12+ core machines for hours or days on end. And then repeat it. And again.

Production means 24/7 and when I read your less than an hour benchmark on ANY test - well, that's just a not right.
