tfw you find a cool game engine but its license is explicitly swerfy and anti-choice

Am I the only ’er who’s annoyed there’s no `?x <- m` syntax?

🤞 for all PL people looking into NLP and beholding the horror of big data to lead to a categorial grammar revival

My hot take for today is that even if you’re a bit of a conservative contrarian, as a mathematician you should probably still prefer a nice abstraction over a clunky and incomplete enumeration?

Guess it’s a day for bad HoTT takes. Disappointing.

Could a British person explain to me why y'all get so weird about having tea *with* a meal?

Having a difficult time, send pictures of your pets, please?

@ndm_haskell@twitter.com Any advice for the Shake specific part?

Show thread

twitter: How do I find out why my Shake file is looping? How do I find out, more generally, why my Haskell program is looping? (So far, attempts to profile only result in empty files and compile errors.)

literally watch me write:

def x(y=lambda: []):
return y

Got bitten by this so many times

RT @OliverCaldwell@twitter.com

I'm no Python expert, but is this a super common bug? How do people use defaults without this happening?

def x (y=[]):
return y

x() => []
x().append(10)
x() => [10]

I suppose that the answer is that there are many different types of sub and superscripts, and that sometimes you want, e.g., the subscript version of a character to look slightly different, but don't we already have support for ligatures in fonts for exactly that reason?

Show thread

Something small that has always baffled me about unicode. Why isn't there a subscript and superscript composing character?

This is madness:

node: so I build the package you asked for, added it to the path, copied it into node_modules and added that to the path too, for good measure

node, five seconds later: hey, you made a mistake! all these module names are ambiguous!

No matter how I build my executable, I get "the flag -p requires the program to be built with -prof"

Is there any up to date advice on how to profile Haskell with Cabal?
