hood_syntax

This would be a real game changer for me, from an internal marketing perspective and for personal use.

Just want to note that in Haskell, whitespace syntax _is_ syntactic sugar for brackets etc. I don't recall that being the case for python. Interesting tidbit, some of the big names in the Haskell community have very idiosyncratic coding styles that use the bracket look.

One of the few roguelikes I use tiles on, and my first roguelike ever.

The recent popular ones (edit: assuming I am reading correctly which games you refer to) are all pretty much spinoff genres that borrow heavily from traditional roguelikes, but break from the classic design attributes in very important ways. Many of them are excellent games, but I don't think it's being nitpicky to distinguish them. Note I make this objection without wanting to wade into the tedious war over terminology.

Typic

If you are a video game enthusiast, particularly of a niche genre, /vg/ can be a good place. I'm really into roguelikes, so I visit the '/rlg/' thread around once a week to see what's going on and potentially get some advice if I'm at a tricky part in a run or need to make a decision about where to take my character.

Standard disclaimer applies about 4chan. If you're thin-skinned, you may find it not worth the trouble. Just don't engage with the trolls and you'll be fine.

> checks and balances

I tried not to smile at that, and I failed. Pretty sure nothing is 'checking' them from collecting data on every U.S. citizen.

Listed in no particular order:

* Learning tools (they get in the way of solving the problem at the beginning imo)

* Incomplete/inaccurate documentation

* Not knowing what things are possible (both in code a la standard libraries or language features and working with tools like debuggers)

* Not knowing simple best practices until you're bit by something and find them out through a slow, painful discovery process

Fully agree, with the minor exception that I'd say it's good for them to trigger a mental alarm. Lots of spin out there...

I was one of the people who didn't want to learn SQL/database stuff. What do you know, after a few years in the industry my interests lay heavily in serverside. I'd kick the old me if I could.

There is, but this recommendation is specific to the triangle area: the rural trends just don't apply.

I lived in Durham from 10 to when I started college (travelling back during breaks etc), and I loved it. I agree with you on every point, the triangle is fantastic. Just to reiterate: great food, great music, real diversity.

With dependent types you can. I'm not aware of whether that proof is possible in Haskell, however.

Besides, that's not what I was saying. What I was saying it that + in Haskell means more than an overloaded operator. It means the type has access to additional methods. This gives you more information.
