fredyr··on Zig 0.16.0 Release Notes
Thanks!
fredyr··on Zig 0.16.0 Release Notes
This sounds interesting to me - could you elaborate a little on what things are in those proposals?
fredyr··on Using Zig to Unit Test a C Application
I've done a lot of CFFI with Python for this kind of testing in the past. But nowadays I'm also looking at Zig for this.
fredyr··on Hacker-Proof Code Confirmed
I'd be very interested if you could elaborate a little on what tools and how you applied formal methods on that old code?
fredyr··on Stop Looking for a Cofounder
Not to mention that you need to find a product idea that you both are equally excited about.

Most of the times I've been approached, even though resonable ideas, haven't been projects that I've been interested in working on.

fredyr··on In Sweden, a Cash-Free Future Nears
When the Swish service launched (2012) it was only consumer-to-consumer and no fees. Last year they added businesses and charge similarly to credit cards, fee on the creditor side.
fredyr··on Elm for the Front End
Yes, every time I use Haskell, I miss them. Purescript also have them. Row-polymorphism ftw.
fredyr··on OCaml – Compiling Mini-ML to JavaScript
I changed from the ternary representation to the function, because I didn't think the generated code was very readable. In hindsight I'm not sure it's that much improvement. From a performance view it's probably worse off.
fredyr··on Running Lisp in Production
The Erlang Vm (BEAM), is another one at least.
fredyr··on A brief introduction to OCaml
That's a good point. I'll add a note to explicitly say that the examples doesn't use Core.
fredyr··on A brief introduction to OCaml
The code examples doesn't use Jane Streets Core as the primary standard library. If you do, for example by adding `open Core.Std` to your .ocamlinit, you'll get the behaviour you're describing.

It is probably a good idea to use Core, but for this introduction I wanted as little requirements as possible.

edit: spelling

fredyr··on Ask HN: What's the best programming book you've read recently?
Richard Bird, Philip Wadler - Introduction to Functional Programming http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Functional-Programming-In...

Richard Bird - Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design http://www.amazon.com/Pearls-Functional-Algorithm-Design-Ric...

Christian Queinnec - Lisp in Small Pieces http://www.amazon.com/Lisp-Small-Pieces-Christian-Queinnec/d...

fredyr··on Clojure 1.6 released
Here's two examples I've found to be very interesting:

https://github.com/clojure/core.async Timothy Baldridge has a couple of videos on the go macro internals https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLxWPHbkxjR-G-y6CVoEHOw

https://github.com/swannodette/om https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMtwq3QtddY&index=7&list=PLZ...

fredyr··on Scala.jsFiddle: TodoMVC
What is it that's missing in just using plain React (with Mori or any alternative)?

In my mind, what Om is bringing to React is idiomatic state management with Clojure semantics. In js I think the local state model promoted by React is reasonable.

fredyr··on Ask HN: Freelancers: Do you do anything to improve your cash flow situation?
Can't you negotiate the terms with your clients? I know that at least my clients have been open to that.

Perhaps not what you want to hear, but other that getting paid more quickly, the most obvious solution to cash flow problems is having a large enough buffer.

fredyr··on Ask HN: What are you listening to right now?
Incidentally I just finished listening to the Russian police cover of the same. Something about this really cracks me up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P08B_lBUL0E&sns=tw
fredyr··on Ask HN: Which book are you reading?
I'm doing a Neal Stephenson marathon, just started with Quicksilver last night, after finishing Snow Crash and Reamde back to back.
fredyr··on Intro To Clojure Macros
Oh, lispers use macros all the time. It's just that you're not going to solve every problem by writing a new one.

For example in Clojure, or, and, fn and cond are macros you typically use all the time.

fredyr··on Vagrant: Create and configure portable development environments
I've switched to using Ansible for this very reason (after getting frustated with Puppet) - I like it a lot. Also I just want to join the choir: Vagrant is awesome!

fredyr··on Learning JavaScript - my experience and advice
This is really a good set of resources for learning Javascript. In addition I want to add the "Learning to love Javascript" presentation by Alex Russell from Google Code 2011, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seX7jYI96GE that I felt really boosted my learning curve (or at the very least kept me passionate about JS to continue learning as much as I possible could)
