@andrevdm no problem, let me know if i can be of further help :)

@andrevdm I've heard of a couple that have been successful, but I think there is a tendency for people to drift in and out. If you're the kind of person who prefers to have more consistency, it might be better to keep the group small and private -- I helped set a couple of friends up to study together (they didn't know each other, but they were each looking for a study partner) and that worked really well for them. So I think it depends on what setup is best for you.

@[email protected] That's reasonably accurate. I didn't understand Hakyll's code well enough to get my blog up without do notation in the beginning. But I'm a fair bit further in than a few weeks/months now and I like it less and less all the time, except for a few specific use cases. And I think beginners need to go through actually following the types instead of obscuring them. That's part of why people stay afraid of monads. Chris still likes it, tho.

I'd been wanting to turn some of my conversations with @chris_martin into blog posts, because over the course of conversation we've covered some topics pretty thoroughly, this is how we're writing The Joy of Haskell, and also it allows for presentation of two perspectives on a subject naturally. First one is about do-notation:

Sometimes people ask me how I could have blamed myself and not pressed charges when I was raped. The answer, ultimately, is complicated and involves what I know or believe about the criminal justice system and how it prosecutes rape.

But, like, if you've ever heard someone make comments about a guy being so good looking he'd never *have to* rape someone -- or she's so unattractive she should just be grateful a man ever wanted her anyway -- then you already know why.

@Adron @chrisallen It does, yeah. It doesn't take long to get followers here, I think, because you show up in people's timelines even if no one follows you. You'll only show up on the local (your instance) timeline (not the federated one) until someone from a new instance follows you, though.

@saper it's not my own instance. i don't think they lost data -- for some reason they're just hiding my private repos even from me. i do not get it.

So, I was getting this error when I try to push to to a repo on GitLab:
! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)

So I went to GitLab to try to figure out wtf is going on and *none* of my private repos are listed on my profile or activity pages, yea even when I go to Personal Projects, and *yes* I'm logged in. I finally find that they still exist only by going to Settings -> Notifications, and there all my projects are listed.

WHAT THE CHRIST.

I love these tiny wikipedia arguments

“In order to give the border sharp edges in some areas and soft edges in others, we can assign different levels of “variance” to each line segment. Segments with high variance will undergo large changes in each mutation round, and segments with low variance will undergo small changes.” (via Algorithmic Art - Tyler Hobbs - A Generative Approach to Simulating Watercolor Paints )
