reddit's algorithm has a very wrong picture of me

i'm today yo to hear about the narrative identity concept and it immediately clicked for me: individual memories are apps that run on the os of a hidden internal narrative; traumas can force a new os to be installed and old apps can cease to work. damn no wonder i barely remember a thing pre 2018

a joyful discovery today: prefix sum `sum[l,r]=sum[r]-sum[l]` can be generalized to arbitrary group, some of which are good-enough hashes which can be used in subsequence searching. this is exactly the rabin-karp algorithm, but online materials about it seldom mention group theory at all

you can do ad hoc polymorphism in different languages, but haskell is the first (among which i learnt) to emphasize "class laws" (nothing to do with commies) and use equational reasoning that builds upon those laws

being proficient in #haskell might help you grasp some category theory; it didn't help in my case, but it is tremendously helpful in understanding some other less abstract fields like group theory and linear algebra

how many domain names have you all registered and then have no time to start a real business? i have 5

and all the people that elected the people that caused the situation today ain't going anywhere...

a language is woke if it has too many bottoms

i don't disagree with that. though that's surely wishful thinking

big endian radix tree is a much underrated data structure. unless for concurrent use cases where it's unsuitable due to conflicts at the root node, it really should be a no brainer default for many other cases

president xi also approves! let's shame the imperialist westoids who work in defense sector out of existence!

i just want proper higher order functions with lexical scoping in cmake. that's not a lot to ask you know, come on

zubin just updated gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc-hq/-..., seems official now

wut

i've landed the ghc patch, now ghc-in-browser is tested in ghc ci: gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/tr...

i still check my x following timeline on a daily basis, cause it still contains useful updates. but it's sad that x is now just a monetization engine to convert my interactions to some blue checkmark user's tips. not to say fedi or bsky has no ragebaits, at least they're a bit more genuine

i'll also write up docs for this so you could build your own customized #haskell playground based on ghc api in the browser with your own packages. it'll take a while, stay tuned!
